Just checkin' in again...it is pretty quiet here in my little beach town but it only just before 7:00 pm Pacific time. I'm use to having my daughter and/or boyfriend looming around...but I have to admit it is really nice to have the place to myself...my daughter is not monopolizing the PC and phone...and my BF doesn't live with me, but I'm free to do some girl stuff like give myself a facial and just relax and actually eat more than I should. I'm having fun and hope everyone else is doing okay, I can't say it enough ~ so glad I'm not drinking tonight!

Happy Healthy New year

Thanks Jeff, I lurk over at times on the PP site, and see you post over there; my sister Rachel is a regular poster over there. My DOC is cocaine and I'm an alcoholic too, in recovery...life is much better today than it was when I was out there...here's to a HAPPY 2006!
Is your sister Rachel spelled out?White avatar?
Yep, that's one...she intro'd me to AA back in '83 she was an active member...than she went back out....I never could really get the deal until '03...so I guess what I'm saying is that she 12 stepped me back in '83, planted the seed, then we both went on our journeys and I got sober in '03 and in turn 12 stepped her back into the program. She and I are tight.
That is awesome. Sounds like my story as though not blood he is my brother.
Alcohol was always part of my using.
But to just drink it with out m yDOC or the opiates that came later???
Alcohol by itself?? Not for me.
AA though saved my life. back in the 80.s it was AA or death.
Your sister is one of the winner's on that board.
I am glad you are able to help one another.
You guys must be dangerous together--LOL
Happy New Year---Jeff

Yep, it's funny how it works, the Program...well, now that we are sober, we're not too dangerous anymore...thank God - it was only a matter of time...yes, she is a winner over there, heck all of us our winners when we are in Recovery...with so many personalities over on that site I notice it tends to get a bit dramatic at times. Anyhow, life is getting better for me...ya see I had to lose my kids, walk out of a 20 yr marriage (that was the right thing to do though - cuz he got sober too), sell a house in alcoholic behavior that was worth way more than I sold it for....my two daughters walked out of my life (but they are now back in it)...I walked off a 20 year Corporate job, and by the Grace of God and terrific EAP they didn't fire me. God definitely did (and is doing) for me what I cannot do for myself.

Hi Ginge, Happy Sober 2006...I wrote you an email, did you get...we are experiencing rain here in SoCal...it is really nice to be alone tonight...that is growth for me...I always thought I had to have someone with me (ie, boyfriend, husband, whoever) but now that I am sober I am getting to know myself and am comfortable in my own skin...I may be making some significant changes in 2006...so I am contemplating those things tonight.
Jeff, I have to say leaving that marriage was the best thing I did for myself, for him and for our daughters...I believed it speeded up my fall, it made me hit my bottom sooner. In a sick way we watched each other's back, really the only thing we had in common was using and drinking. He could hang with me and not a lot of guys could...not that I am proud of that but he could go toe to toe with me....it actually was very sick relationship. My MO is to jump into another relationship right away and did just that after I left him, with a guy who I was hooked up with when I was like 19 or 20 years old and he still supplied me with all the drugs and alcohol I wanted/needed. Anyway, then I get to recovery and hook up with a guy when I only have 4 months of sobriety and he is 13 years younger than me! He is a very nice man, but I'm wondering if I jumped in to soon...so I'm reflecting and contemplating that situation tonight. He went Laughlin to gamble with his Grandfather and that really suits me just fine.
Happy New Year Gentlemen ~ my New Friends!
