Oh Gladys...you made me think...about how all of the sudden I had money when I stopped drinking! I really had not thought about it in years but I did have extra cash then.........since then I guess I have found new things to spend it on because I sure do not have an abundance anymore!!! It went from booze bottles to baby bottles and now sippy cups!!!!!!!!

At the 'end', I realized how much was actually being spent on booze. Wayyy too much. Of course living in the world of denial, it was always justified. Though bills are still tough and things are tight, it's not as hopeless as before. Alcohol made it worse. Glad that world has ended for us...moving on to greener pastures, so to speak

{can't wait for the days of diapers to come to a screeching halt, lol }

I know what you mean!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm still choosing the sober path! MY patchwork brain doesn't need to come undone by using anything that alters it, I have a tough enough time keeping to a rational state of mind as it is, some days

I can't imagine what I was doing to my brain before...I'm glad I'm sober! It brings a little relief to those tough days, because my brain just don't work right on those tough and tired days.

Glad to be here!

Hugs for you Gladys!

Hi everyone!! I have missed you all!! Checkin in...hope everyone is doing OK!!

Checkin In

Had a busy weekend with my middle son's 3rd birthday! Wow, hard to believe how quickly time flies by!

Also celebrated my 1 yr anniversary for my MS dx and am about to celebrate 1 year on Copaxone for the MS. Busy week

Think I'm getting a cold or something, I've got a sore throat, and have been feeling fatigued....other than that ....Life is well

I actually stopped drinking around this time last year, when I started meds....started back up in March, then stopped for good in May, after I realized my mind could no longer tolerate the drink....
