Love and good morning and good afternoon FL (who is going to eat Bullwinkle tonight )......didn't know the part about living so close to your ex....very cool love.

Welcome Clark!!
Awesome to see you again. xx

And Strawberry honey.....nothing is worse than the fear. Nothing. You will drive yourself insane.....let your husband go with you to the doctor maybe? He will be your advocate and help you navigate through this.

Sending love and prayers that it will all be OK. ❤️

Try Mrs Elswood. I get their pickles and they are awesome.....you can't buy sweet and sour pickles in America, and everything has garlic.

I didn't know venuscat. I'll have to nip over to America. Is there anything else over there while I'm at it.

Day 1 AGAIN

Friday was my first day of sobriety for Nov, then yesterday went to a gathering where booze ws served. I was wrong for awhile then just gave in. I am beating myself up this moron. I disgust myself. I am back on the wagon today. No plans for the week, Stay home along with no alcohol in the house. It was too early in this journey for me to socialize with others who are drinking.... Love to you all.

Pickles for poetry. That's a fair trade.

Tomorrow is going to be a ‘danger day’ for me.

Being self employed and having been hospitalised for a while plus still being too washed out to do anything but box set watch today my income is going to be drastically down this month.

I also lost a lot of work a few weeks ago when my dad has his stroke so money was already tight. As a result there will be bills I won’t be able to pay (a couple were behind anyway).

In the normal scheme of things I would bury my head in the sand (in the form of a bottle of wine or three!). BUT not this time. Have taken some herbal sleeping tablets as a couple of bad nights sleep and tomorrow will face my bills head by calling companies to either explain what’s going on.

And they will all be cool love....how we worry so much.....I know. s
But all they want is their money, and they understand hard times....payment plans are easy. It will work for sure s

I know what it's like to be on your own and doing it tough....but now you have us back to help support you through all of this. I get so exhausted doing things by myself all of the time. Even though I am married now, I am not yet used to that aspect of it. s ❤️

It is good to see so many members joining this November thread. It shows just how many wonderful people want this and are going to fight to get our lives back.

Reading back, we are all struggling with so many life issues, plus working on getting and staying sober at the same time, a lot of hard work ahead of us, that is for sure. Let's all stay close to SR and not give up, ok!

Time change here, turned the clocks back. I am looking at that as a gift of getting some of my life back, a do over.

Meant completely dear trevelbug....I don't want you to feel or be alone.
I spent so much time alone.....so many years.....it hurts.
I thought no one could ever understand me or accept me with my horrendous flaws.

Imagine what it would have been like for all of us if we had grown up in a society where addiction/Substance Abuse Disorder is an accepted illness. Instead of a shameful thing that was destroying us while we felt guilt throughout our suffering.

Well, it's time to change things up.....we should not feel bad for having any illness.....it is just about the willingness to get better. We can do that. s

Hi all. End of day 1. Feeling anxious and worried about some choices I’ve made.
Hopefully be a brighter day tomorrow.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve tried and failed but here goes again.
