First off, a note to JUSTONEMORE, I finally figured out, for this time anyway, how to change my avatar. Only took me about 5 intense days of study, try, fail, try again, fail again, etc.....but I'm so excited that it just worked!! ( Could you tell me what a blog is? Underneath all of the animated gifs I have in my photobucket it has the option to blog - clue me in please?) Anyways, I feel like bouncing up and down for joy today just like the little tigger guy in the picture. I've only had the 2 outpatient treatments so far, but they are reallyl starting to sink in. I think I'm gonna like this class, and I love all the girls in it. I thought I had problems - whew!! We've got alot of homework and reading to do, so it stays with me everyday. I hope my mood can stay this good and this positive all of the way up until, and through our sentencing. I feel so utterly useless, worthless, sitting at home day after day after day.....it's gotten way too old, and I am ready to move on with my life. My daughter will be the next thing to tackle after I take care of myself first. See! I'm learning. Today went wonderfully. Listening to tunes all day, cleaned house, etched a couple of mirrors I gave away for gifts, did a little stenciling, exercising on my indoor machine, like jogging, running, pulling the handles, standing up, I can't for the life of me remember what it is called or what the other ones that are so popular are called. Baked some chocolate chip cookies, took my dog out for about 4 walks today - she just LOVES to go outside, and travel with us everywhere we go. She's my only baby now that my daughter has done her naughty deed. I wonder if I will ever get over it or ever forgive her for it? Only time will tell. Well, don't want to be long and boring again. Guess you can tell that I feel wonderful, and was very excited about getting on this board tonite and sharing with all my new found friends. See, if one can do it, so can you. BUT, remember to go one day at a time, so if you slip, you don't go down on yourself too hard. We're only human afterall. Get back up and continue on, and don't look back. I'm leaving the site now with a great big smile on my face, gladness in my heart, and a wonderful good nite to all of you. Will talk to you hopefully tomorrow and we'll see if I'm still as chipper as I am now. I think I deserve a great big bowl of ICE CREAM - and that's what I'm gonna do. It's off to the kitchen.;..........:)
Way cool ...you have put a big smile on my face with how far you have come , really....I dont know what to say ......I am so very happy for your new found outlook on life ...congrats...congrats...

thank you for joining us and showing it can be turned around

blog
A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.
Information
A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.
Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

Justonemore, there you go again with your dictionary descriptions again. You TOTALLY lost me about blogs. I've only got about 10 gif's in my photobucket, and they all mention blogs on them. I checked on it and it made absolutely no sense to me. Guess I'll just skip them. Can't be that importatnt anyway I don't think. Thanks for the comments again - you can sure make a person feel warm and fuzzy inside (is that what's growin' on my tongue?? jk ) I hope that won't jinx me. Everyone has their ups and downs. Their good days and their bad days. This was the best day ever since I joined this board, so that only means that there will be bad days down the road, most likely. That's why you and everyone else are here to pick up the pieces when I fall,......as I would do the same for everyone else. This site has been of a tremendous help to me. It's great putting my feelings and innermost thoughts down on ":paper" and letting them go (by posting). I told my husband once about this site, but him and a friend that was here just laughed and said that everyone on the site was probably just lying, and making things up to see others reactions. They also said it was a way for the men in uniforms to read our notes and catch on to us and who we are. Needless to say, I never brought it up again and don't intend to. He's going thru the same as me, but some men are just.......well.......a little different shall I say. Everything I say and do is wrong anyway, so phooey on their opinions. If they can't say something nice, they shouldn't say it at all. Right! Well, Linda, wherever you are (probably asleep like most normal people in this universe of ours) I got the last post in for the nite again, or should I say I got the first one in for the morning? That sounds better. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!! JOLLY GOOD DAY, I SAY. Oops, must be very tired to start talking so strangely, sorry. I've got to hurry and get my days and nites back where they belong - just like with babies when they're born.(teehee). When you are getting up for the day, I'll just be going' to sleepy town. Gonna dream about the 3 bears and their porridge. Or, maybe I'll dream about the yellow brick road.........or rumplestilkens (sp) hair. NOW I KNOW that I'm tired, so I'll let you all go. The child in me is coming out for all to see, and only those close to me know that side of me. Us blondes, really DO have much more fun!!
TAKE CARE - HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY and I'll have some sweet dreams. Catch ya all tomorrow - night - sometime soon. god Bless you all for being you. Just when I need someone, you all come in and help me out. I appreciate the s*** out of it. ("scuse my french" ). The pillow is calling me, so I'm off to see the wizard......................well, maybe the sandman. CHOW .

Hahaha, do I look the "man"
somebody sounds paranoid to me. bummer, that's what lots of meth will do, make ya paranoid.
When someone is in recovery .....what reason is there to be paranoid anyway ?? I used to worry about it when I first started coming here, but after I got clean ...I realized what am I worried about?? what? I am going to get arrested for what I "used" to do???
Anyway , I am so glad you have found help here, the change in you over the last few weeks shows , I wish you the best for your future AL

Thanks justonemore. You are too kind with words. Whose being paranoid? Not me. I like acting like a young kid sometimes, cuz it's fun, it relaxes me, and life is too short to take seriously all of the time. Heck, my dad is 74 and he acts even younger than me!! I love having food fights with him. It's been a few years since we've had those, but flinging peas across the table with spoons, him stealing the meat off of everyone elses plates, and I'd steal the veggies. He vowed never to grow up, and I'm trying to follow right along in his shoes. What state do you live in Al? How 'bout Linda? Haven't heard from her yet today - got me a little worried. Well, I won't bore you tonite I promise. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. Didn't you ever say that silly saying as a kid? I know I did a few times. Yes, it was another wonderful day. This weekend went by so fast tho. Just don't know where time goes. Take Care, have a fantabulous night, and will chat again soon I'm sure. Probably tomorrow. I look for your replies to people - they are always so interesting and in sync w/everyone and their problem. Are you sure you aren't a counselor in your real profession?? tee hee. And , I love watching you change your avatars all the time - they're all so cute. It'll probably take me a few more weeks to figure out how to change it the next time. Goodnight all.
I didnt mean you sounded paranoid , I meant your hubby did by thinking the man was on here, that is why I asked if I look like the man ,.or a counselor for that matter . thanks for the complement tho .. I am just a 50 year old guy tryin to right the wrongs of my life .....hopefully by helping others avoid a lot of the mistakes I made . I do think about possibly taking some classes and getting into counselling ....but for now ....I am still making sure I am rid of my cravings for meth .. oh, I used to live in california .....but now live in northeast Ohio ..........I must be nuts, who leaves sunny, warm central California for this freezing , snowy , icy a$$ part of the country ......hahaha, actually ..I love it here . Even sunshine gets old if you have it EVERY day ....
I too am beginning to worry about Linda , it is way out of character for her to not post ........so what is up Linda???
LOVE AND RESPECT Y'ALL , AL
