Sharonn

Hey girl! Just checking in to see how you are feeling? Are things sorting themselves out in your life?

You've been posting some great words of wisdom lately, congratulations, recovery looks and sounds good on ya!
Que Pasa? Things are great as long as I stay on the Elavil...holy s*it! Thatlittle pill adds 10 lbs. to me!!! But I do ut them in 1/2 and the following day I am les bloated, but I have some fibro pain....amazing...how are you? Hope you are feeling better..I never knew you were a realtor...my BF wanted me to do that..not for me..I was born to sing...life is good..day 23 today, no cravings...just a rump the size of Maine. Tony says cause he's a brotha he doesn't like skinny women (lucky me)...but 145 is my limit!!!! can't afford all new clothes. Heard you are moving into a new house...cool.....holidays used to be a trigger, but I'm over it...cry about my mom and my sister..no family left. It's weird getting older...never thought I'd be this ancient.Have a good day...Love, S
Good to hear that you are getting some relief!

I'm trying not to get some shame when I see my parents Monday, i've put on 20 lbs since I got clean, but one thing at a time, I'll worry about it after the holidays...lol

I usually don't have MY family for Thanksgiving and it's all I can do to stop from running out the door the second I scrape my plate after dinner. Of course that's when I was using, hopefully I will have some restraint this year. I don't get along well with my in-laws, too much water under the bridge. Maybe this year I can practice some forgiveness.



Good morning Sharonn and Janet:

My sister, who is two years clean and sober, said something funny yesterday. She said, "I have to surrender to the fact I am 46. What happened? I went to a party when I was 16 and I just woke up." She said she felt like she just got here. Have a good one!

Rachel
Hey Shaonn...glad to hear your doing so good...

Hi..Janet and Rachel

Doug
Rachel, I guess I need to surrender to the fact that I am 47 then..lol



Good morning Doug!
Sharron, yesterday my diet consisted of,

1) A donut
2) another donut
3) candy
4) Ice cream before bed.

NO NUTRITION, Im going to be diabetic if this continues.

Im sooo glad to see your feeling better. That just makes me so sad to know that your family isnt here. Holidays are a huge reminder. Im not looking forward to that at all. I have my mom, (who is very sick) and my sister who is has emphesyma. Good thing you have tony!


Janet:

You know that Vwgirl on the Cocaine site is my sister, right?
Hey Doug...what day is it for you? How are you feeling? Now comes the hard part my dear...living sober...a new way of life...Wendy...I will be 50!!!! I don't know where the time went(too stoned)...my nephew wil be 34 tomorrow...One good thing about geting older...I care less about what people think of me and more of what makes me happy..a few extra lbs.....if no one likes me for me..to hell with 'em!
yes, but I forgot...thanks for reminding me....she's a sweetie and an inspiration

I am trying to figure out how many days clean I have, terrible that I can't remember...lol
Hi Sharonn...I'm at day 19 and feeling pretty good...I still can't sleep
much..I feel really wired from lack of sleep...When does it come back?

Doug
I think my clean date is July 2nd, so I guess it's a little over 4 months...

tried finding the date I relapsed on the board, but i can't, oh well
I still take xanax and elavil...probably the only reason I do sleep...magnesium/calcium and melatonn are great for sleep...also B-Complex...crucial to your nervous system....have you tried getting some exercise?I am limited due to back issues, etc. but I have been going out for brisk walks at night after dinner...hope it helps...are you depressed? That's common after wd's.Love, Sharonn
Sharron, lets make a deal...once we start with the poodle perms we know we have lost it. No poodle perms. Dead giveaway.
Hey Wendy...I permed my hair all through the 80's..when I look at videos of my band I cringe....Yikes...but I am blonde and always will be(gray)....trying to look good is really hard...high maintenance...some days, I stick my hair in a ponytail and don a big pair of sunglasses and call it a day...when I work, it's makeup, lashes, Bla bla bla.Between the push-up bra and the push in panties...YIKES!!! Stilettos! You may look great but damned uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong....I love to get dressed up...my lifestyle now is such that I basically live in sweats...after all...Walmart doesn't care, why should I ? iI am as tired as hell today, so my housework is officially done and I will in my car(favorite place), blasting music.......Have a great day...Love, Sharonn
Hey Janet,
Mine is July 4th, and I'm pretty sure that you're two days before me.
