I'm hurt and its my own fault. No I didn't do a quicky abandon my spouse and capture another alcoholic for a quick attempt at altering but maybe what I did was...is just as crazy. Any of you out there go to those punch, kick, dance and jump around high energy exercise classes? Okay now you know why I'm hurting. I went to support my spouse so why did I put on my own athletic shoes? What in the world was I remotely thinking? "No" is a complete sentence and I'm practicing, practicing, practicing it.... "No" "NO" "NO!!" I didn't see enough cars in the parking lot maybe that coned shaped roof in the corner of the property was really a space ship. God grant me the serenity to accep the things I cannot change... Ouch!! ((((hugs))))
Oh dear Jerry F, we are having a week of it arn't we? seems like your are going all human on us again, tut tut tut, and I thought you were cured!
Never mind, reminder to me, it is ok to say yes and mean NO, and then and only after the event, can we be reminded why we must THINK! and not act on impluse?
Oh my I would have paid good money to see you in an exercise class like that! You are such a good man. You have a great big loving heart. Sometimes that gets in the way of the head. Next time you want to be loving & supportive, just remember back to this time & how you are feeling right now.
For being such a great guy, I declare it National Ice Cream Day for Jerry. Go out & get your favorite kind. I promise calories won't count. I too have a hard time saying no. Now I will remember this lesson too. Feel better. Much love & blessings to you & your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Gee thanks Jerry.... for some reason I now have this image of Jerry in a spandex jumpsuit, about two sizes too small, a la Will Ferrell.... It's really not an image I wanted to think about, lol....

Oh Jerry I fall into that category. There's not a dang thing wrong with that.....we have to work on acceptance.....also, it's HP's little reminder that we can't "kick" as high as we use to.
I joined a pick up basketball game in my neighbors drive way a couple of weeks ago. So, I understand your "hurting".....I've been there.....your talking to Noah about flood.
HUGS, RLC
P.S. By the way I was on the losing side of the last basketball game I will ever play in.
I am soooo blessed in this family...Your responses tell me you are all recovering nicely and so am I cause when I laughed it didn't hurt. I am blessed and so am grateful. (((((MIP)))))
Physical health parallels spiritual health in many ways. It hurts to go through it to get better, but once you start working on it and push through the painful stuff, you miraculously start feeling better and better. ;)
Of course, you know, you have to do it for yourself, not for your wife, for it to be of any benefit.
