Just wanted to journal to keep up on my goal. I think I increased it to 70% too soon. I sometimes don't want to journal .
Especially, when I'm doing good. I know it's because of the Lord. Ever since the Christian group, I've seemed to have a better, more positive attitude. I don't have a lot of things, materialistically, don't have a supportive family,.......

Well, I've been quiet! Stupid, stupid fingers. Still, it's my own fault. The garden looks fabulous, but my fingers look like sausages lol!
1 week, 1 day no booze, and I feel so much better. I didn't realise how much harm I was doing myself mentally until I stopped.
I know Ben has to go back to school because it's a fear he HAS to conquer. I think 7 months of relentless trying...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
Losing that pressure to be something I'm not has been a life-saver this week. After taking Mike with me to the Dr and him promising to refer Dan back to the chest clinic, I went on my own with Dan and he would not refer him. Dan can't breathe lying down, can barely manage the stairs, never manages PE at school, and I know something is very wrong. For a child who has almost died twice, had...2 Recommendations13 Comments

Greetings from Florida. I just flew in from Illinois about an hour ago to spend a week down here with my kids. I can't even begin to say how excited I am!!! This may also be the start of a new life down here, we'll see. I brought an outfit for interviews if one should come about. Not sure if I am ready for the heat again. HOT and sticky still at 12:40 in the morning :)1 Recommendation13 Comments

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...4 Recommendations23 Comments

I'm trying to journal at least once a week. I'd journal more, but i don't do very much. Last weekend was a busy weekend. Threw Tiffany a sweet 16 birthday party. 40-50 people showed up, but it went well. It was tiresome doing most of the work, but I enjoyed it 'cause I like to stay busy. Went to church Sunday morning and then to my brother's bbq after church. Both events i had...1 Recommendation10 Comments

Just thought I'd stop in for a quick few words to let everyone know my life is so much better now that I've gotten out of the abusive relationship. It's so freeing. I never realized how bad it was 'til I got out of it. It was horrible and I was in such a depressive rut--AWFUL. Thanks so much to all of you for your continued support and encouragement and for not giving up on me.

Today, January 25th, 2009 I celebrate my 22nd year being sober as a recovering alcoholic. Through AA and a lot of help from friends and strangers I am sober today. My soberity date is January 25th 1987. My life has been turned around and I have never forgotten where I've come form. It took many tries before I finally became sober. I am very grateful to many peopl...1 Recommendation25 Comments
