I'm going to CHECK-IN :D

DH has been recovering since 5/12/08...I stopped drinking myself on 5/5/08, I was a 'compulsive' social drinker..if that makes sense? Totally co-dependent, lol.

Anyways, HI, HELLO!!!

Hi there Gladys!! Congratulations to you and hubby for making such a wonderful decision! It was so nice to see that you had posted! This is sure not a very busy forum!! How are the two of you doing?

GladysD 06-29-2008 09:36 AM

Thanks :)

We are doing alright. Dealing with the backlash from family members who just don't understand, but that's OK....one of them is complaining of numbness in their face, soo...to each his own to learn in their own way....*sigh*

One thing I've been enjoying....more time to do all those little projects that have added up over time...and more support with the kids. :D

Hi Gladys!! It is such a change when we stop drinking and it sometimes takes a long time for family and friends to settle into the new us!! I am sure they will. It is good that you get at things that need to be done...it gives us a sense of accomplishment! Keep at it!!
I hope your family menber who has the numbness finds their way....best thing you can do is set the example. I remember wanting what the sober ones had so bad...they seemed so happy. I eventually came around and here I am!!!!!
Keep in touch Gladys...its so nice to have you here!!:hug:

It is Canada Day here and I noticed the beer was flowing today at a lawn party as I drove past on my way to the library to drop off some movies and books that were due back. I am sure some of them will be feeling rough tomorrow! I am sure if I was still drinking I would be drinking tomorrow to feel better from today!!!
I always feel grateful on holidays now....at least I get invited places now!! I do not feel sick the next day...unless I really am...and by the grace of God...I am alive to see another Canada Day!! Hope everyone else is having a great day!:grouphug:

Hey!! I love sobriety!! I woke up this AM...day after a holiday here in Canada.....I am feeling good!!!!! 8 years ago I would have been lining up at the door of the liquor store waiting for it to open.....thank you God!!!
