Hi all,
I probably will be able to really relate and identify with the story that is on tonight as probably some of you will be able to as well. It's about Pam, the alcoholic and the mother.
I watched it. I didn't catch the end--was she working recovery? You have to wonder why we insist on living in the sewage we called OUR life and that nobody could POSSIBLY understand, huh? I guess that some cultures WANT the train wreck happen when simply asking for help is so available. We are a stubborned lot, aren't we?
How goes the journey with YOU?

SKG, Yes Pam did get sober out in Florida (I believe) in an all women's rehab center. I wanna say her sobriety date is somewhere in May of 2007. They interviewed her at the beach right before her 60 days, loving life and laughing and enjoying the ocean. I couldn't identify with the molestation pain she is suffering with, but I could so identify with the needing to drink just to get through the day and the loss of her children. Oh and how close her sister and her are....I cried during that one!
Things are pretty good for me today; I had a productive weekend and got to a meeting yesterday and today. I'm gonna relax this afternoon, there is an August AA birthday celebration tonight (dining and dancing), I may go or may not, just depends on how tired I am at that time. Been dealing with a lot of fatigue lately. However, I started that boxing class with my youngest daughter and maybe that's just kicking my butt!

:and the loss of her children
I could identify with that, as well. I always knew the "empty nester" thing was going to be kick-a**, but I thought I'd party my a** off because I'd be free from all that responsibility. Well, after years and years of drinking, partying was kinda out of the question. It was all drinking as much as possible and living in the past.

Oh JEEZE! This is the one that you lock out of the house? Yiikes! :) I'll stick to running--and keep my nose in tact! LOL
You "sound" like you're centered still. One day at a time. Keep sharing--it helps.
