Hi Karilyn,

Good days and bad days with my own issues. Things are still chaotic but it's just different chaos.

Wife is still abstinent from A, but I suspect issues w/ the percocet, oldest daughter dropped out of school, got her GED and starts at Community College two years early ! She is also a CIT @ camp. Middle daughter still worries me because she isn't doing different things to get better, Son is doing well.

Me as you can see from above, I need to get the focus back on me. :)

Baseball season was fun. A torn miniscus is causing me discomfort and limping but it didn't keep me off the diamond but I did alot less during the tournament season than I like. I have to work more on self care, LOL.

How are you ?

Bob

Wow I remember when your wife was getting sober. You sound very very grounded. I am so glad to hear you made it through.

I hope the conference is good for you.

I probably sounded so grounded because I was at the convention ! LOL

My wife told me it was nice to see me in such a good mood. I told her, "well then, maybe next time I'm acting like an ahole you'll tell me to go to a meeting". She said, 'not that many' and I said, 'as many as it takes !' LOL

Things are still rough on the home front. She is suffering alot of health problems. I don't know how much are real physical ailments or are mental ailments combined w/ the mental illness of addiction and seeking meds. I just don't know.

I do know I'm still not thrilled to be living with her and somedays it shows.

But we keep plugging along and keep trying to bring the focus back on me.

Bob
