Just thought check,

Went on holidays for a week, and of course went to visit my son.  He is doing so well and daughter graduation went well.  Also was long week as well, with legal matters in regards to my mom's accident.

hopefully someday soon things well, work out for the best and every one can move past this, and move on.

Just thought I would say hi and well it will be a rough month for me in dealing with the aniversary of my mom's death and the 1 year passing of my father.  Also celebrating 4 years sobriety on July 14th and still going strong.

Thank you and greatful for every day of my life and sobrety that helps me deal with life on lifes terms and the support.


Sorry i haven't been on as well, computer is down and using a friends computer,  hugs and god bless

Tina

Hi Tina,

I'm so glad that your trip went well and that your son and daughter are both doing well. That's good news.

I do hope that this month won't be too hard for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Make sure that you look after yourself, won't you?

And, many congratulations on your up-coming four years of sobriety. That is an amazing achievement and a wonderful inspiration to me.

Take care,

Carol

thanks quetzal


I will look after myself and those I love, as they say first things first.  That's what the program teaches us.

I will be sticking close to the program, and as each passing year goes by, I do manage to move on,  I know that my parents are watching over me.  I'm sure this month will be fine.

I do hope that I can help or be an inspiration to someone, that is part of my grow in the program and in turn is greatfull for.


hugs

tina

Tina, you already are a help and an inspiration, even though you don't know it. I just completed my first month of sobriety (yay me!) and my father died 9 days ago. Thankfully (?) we weren't close and his death is actually more beneficial than not as far as my emotional state goes, but it still hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be. It hasn't given me a reason to destroy my own life with alcohol, but there were a few moments when a drink sure sounded good....

anyway, I am sorry for your loss. But it's good to know there are others out there when I'm stuck in one of those "lost and alone" moments....

Hi Steve,

Many congratulations on your first month of sobriety. That's a great achievement and you should be feeling really good about it.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through right now. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care of yourself, won't you?

Carol

Hi Steve

Just wanted to say congradulations on 1 month and want you to know that your not a lone with the lost of your dad, i'm not sure your relationship was like with your dad. But know this that for what ever reason and it isn't easy, but I'm sure your dad loved you very much as mine did me.

It was hard to since I hadn't spoke to my dad for 20 years up until one year before he died, but we were able to overcome some bad thoughts and well now I can except things for the way they were and move on and forgive.

One day at a time, and if you want to talk at anytime let me know, I know first had it isn't easy.


Hugs

Tina
