Six months sobriety but not clean time. It's the sobriety one that counts for me; it's the drug that was killing me. If I'd been an AA member this time around it would be cause for a wee celebration, however I'm an NA member and it's clean time that matters not sober time.

That Syr hadn't showered yet from our fishing trip when the pager went off. I hope whoever called 911 doesn't mind the smell of fish and worm guts!

i cannot tell you how happy i am to read this!!! Congratulations!! The people that love you must be so proud and hapoy for the sober you!!! Booze can kill relationships and lives, so thank you for thinking of yourself and others in your journey.

This huge watermelon I just cut for dinner. I did not think it could be possible to get one sweeter than the one I cut Saturday night.

The only downside is I will be waking up peeing all night. I will deal with that later ... Living in the instant gratification moment .... Chewing down large hunks of this juicy, sweet seedless melon is right where I want to be.

LOL

Awww bless ya and ta ever so much lovely lady.

Not so sure anyone but me is proud, after all I was 17yrs sober previously, so a measly 6 months is a drop in the proverbial ocean. Such is life.

I said I would treat myself to a kindle for this small achievement but have yet to order it.

cinderella · 07-31-2012, 09:43 AM

My days are sunnier and more cheery lately - a romantic interest is on the horizon. It's a 'repeat performance', but perhaps it's true what they say about 'the second time around' - now if can just stop being such a curmudgeon, it might work.

You did not lose the 17 years sober. You lost the time you spent using. 6 months is nothing to sneeze at! You do deserve this. Get rid of your guilt whip, you'll feel better. Btw, congratulations on that 6 month chip or medallion.

What's on my mind is parents. Not my parents but parents that I see day to day. I don't have children (and probably won't ever, unless it's one of those immaculate conception kind of things)

I have worked with children of all ages and from all sorts of socioeconomic backgrounds, with all sorts of disabilities and abilities, in the class room and out of the class room. In all of the years that I worked with children, with all of the frustration, and endless kid questions, and hissy fits, and pouting, I NEVER once treated a child the way I see some parents treat their kids.

It makes me angry to see a mom not paying one bit of attention to her kid, and then yelling at the kid to "sit your big ass down" when the girl (about 5years old) acts up for some attention.

It makes me sad to see a little boy looking at his dad with adoration and starting every sentence with "daddy, can we do this?" or daddy, look at that!!" only to have dad treat him like crap even going so far as to put his hand over the kids face to make him stop talking.

I realize that being a parent is hard. Sometimes you need a break. But it just burns me up to see kids treated so bad. By their own parents no less. I hope that should I ever have a child of my own, I show my child everyday how loved and special they are.

Can I just ask you to give your kid a hug today. Or at least let them know how much you love them, no matter how old they are.

my girl has been on my mind all day! mmhmmm..

Nekohl,

Isn't that the truth? Forget the DSi, Wii, and toy of the moment. All they really want is your time and attention. I find with my volunteer work construction paper, crayons and lying on the floor eye-to-eye quality time beats any other activity hands down. But better believe these are the same parents that wonder why their kids shut them out in the teen years.....

The moon is on my mind. It's in the sky like a big pizza pie. It's cool out, so I've been taking runs at night, and the moon follows me.
