Hi Ness

So glad you made it. I hope you received a Beginners Package or some of the wonderful booklets available.
I always found the literature invaluable in between meetings.

Keep on Keeping on

Did indeed.....husb and I talked and read a bit... we talked constructively about ourselves for the 1st time in ages and to tell you the truth he slept better than me last night, the first good sleep he's had in ages.... work that one out.
I lay awake....but not in a bad way, I had a lot to think about.
It was a beautiful moonlit night and I was watching venus twinkling in the night sky...what a difference a day makes.

I feel back in control today.

I had a phonecall earlier this evening from a lady I met last night who has invited me to a meeting tomorrow afternoon.

My son phoned this morning to say that when he gets his benefit chq 2morrow he is buying a bus ticket to come home 'dry' to meet up with his sister.

Thank you for caring

Love Ness

You have just started a great journey... Like all of us you will have up days and down days, but remember to see it thru, and you will find yourself again... That is a feeling like know other...

Good for you for making the 1st step... One day at a time... Friends in recovery...

Ness,

The report of your first meeting and your experience afterward was inspiring.

So glad you obtained some literature and that you connected with someone who offered to take you to another meeting . Way to go!!

Thanks for sharing your journey.

I did go to the lunchtime meeting today

With my daughter coming home tomorrow, and who knows maybe my son, I just felt this morning that a 'double dose' of ESH would stand me in good stead for the next few days!

The discussion today was the second step....did they know I was coming???!!!! It totally reinforced why I need to continue to work hard on my detachment from the disease of alcohol...and not step back into the insanity.

It was exactly what I needed to hear today, and that's why I will keep going back.

Thanks all of you I wouldn't have got there without you.

Love....Ness x

I knew you could do it. Nice work and now it just gets better, just you see. Not easier. Not painless. But much better. Hugs, J.

Thanks for sharing my journey.....please keep with me...I need all your ESH.

My daughter is now thinking of going to Alanon...I hope she does, she needs ESH too.

My husb is also not ruling out going now also, but I do have questions as to whether I would be able to share at the meetings if he was there, or would I hold things back...does anyone have experience of this?

It's been an interesting week so far.......!

Love....Ness x
