Dry since December

I haven't had a drink since December 5, 8:00. No one thinks it's a big deal, but for me . . . it is hugh!!! Just thought I'd put that out there. I do find that I do other things more, but as long as I don't drink, I feel that I am accomplishing something.

Hi Madisonmouse, Congrates on not drinking and it IS A HUGE deal! Not sure why others would act as though it's not, unless it's your friends who miss you partying with you.

If you consider yourself an alcoholic, or had problems due to booze in your life, then truly this is a wonderful achievement. It isn't an easy thing for people with alcohol troubles in there life to put down the bottle, so good for you! Keep giving yourself credit, even if others aren't right now.

Not drinking in our 24 hour day is accomplishing MUCH! WTG!

Big Hug,
Karen

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
