Hi Everyone,
I could use some support today. As you know, I am only 42, live alone with my dog and my son's are 6 hours away (by their choice) living with their dad. My one son is coming for Thanksgiving and his birthday which is the 22nd. My younger son decided not to come because of an invitation to the Notre Dame/Patriot's game on Friday and he doesn't want his dad to be alone on Thurs. His new wife is going to Tenn. and he can't ride along because he "hurt' his back. Tomorrow I am going to court for the first time for the OUI I got two months ago. All these years of drinking and never got caught. I was at home and heading for Wal-Mart for cereal and milk which is only a mile away. Didn't put my lights on fast enough so they pulled me over. Is it even possible to say the alphabet backwards sober?????????? Anyway, very costly and because of my low immune system, ended up in the hospital (after 14 hours in a holding tank) with pneumonia. Even with all this and knowing that one more drink could kill me instantly, I still want to in some perverse way. Lonliness, boredom, fear...So, if anyone out there feels like talking tonight, I could use some cheering up and confidence boosters. Sure would be nice to have a sponsor right now.
Thanks so much for listening,
Jill
Hey Jill
Keep posting and getting rid of the drinking thinking in your head as addiction looks for the IN's when we are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired (HALTS)
If you are struggling go to the gratitude thread and the i will not drink thread and read from the start and then post.
The court visit is all a part of your past and it will become a part of your sharing of experience strength and hope at meetings, and pray because you are not alone at the moment and God is there or your higher power or whatever you are comfortable praying to, meditate with soft music and acknowledge the good work you are doing.
Youre willingness to stay in recovery will turn more and more into gratitude and mix that with meetings and wham a strong foundation for sobriety has been laid.
Big hugs and energy from NZ and if i dissapear for awhile i am going to see My Mum who is quite ill in hospital, SO read them threads and be proud of you and what you are achieving.
Light and love Zac

Hey Jill,
What's shakin' girlie? I'm not sure if I have ever introduced myself to you. I am Valarie and have been sober from booze a little over a year now. Anyway welcome and just wanted to say hello.
Regarding the alphabet backwards! WTF??? I just tried to do it and it is really hard? Sorry you are having legal trouble. Don't worry this too shall pass.
Hope you are having a great day!
