i missed my meeting tonight as i had to do the dad thing and pick up my daughter from work shes 21 now and working as an hairdresser i have brought her up from being eight years old and she isnt very demonstrative as a rule ..tonight she gave me a hug and told me she was so proud of me for stopping smoking last christmas and now giving up drinking ....now you can give me away dad and im not planing getting wed for a long while yet ....


sometimes the sweetest things cause the greatest pain

Hi Yammas,

I can't pretend to understand how you are feeling right now. But, please know that on this forum you are never alone.

Take good care of yourself,

Carol

hi and welcome, like you im new to this site and from what ive seen these people are just like me so i feel at home here and visit regular.I want to thankyou for that share,to remind me how painful early recovery can be and the loses we have to come to terms with,i guess im trying to say..ive been there and i know where your at..When i finally come round everything was gone,loved ones,jobs,cars houses,sanity and children.Today i had a chat with my daughter,its her sixtenth birthday and she has split with her boyfriend,so i was there for her and she knows these days im always there for her.When i stopped drinking i hadnt seen her for five years and was never there for her in fact she thought that i was probably dead.What a gift,with the help of god and AA i can arrest my illness and be on the other end of the phone.I truly know a new freedom and a new happiness,its all there for you my friend and it will happen,try to keep it in the day and speak to another alkie often.I dont hide my e mail,you can e mail me anytime for a chat.and thanks again for reminding me ...........god be with you......
