Update time

Well, the battle continues. I have not remained perfect. Not anywhere near I was last October when I went to rehab. Been a tough few weeks, MrsK has been very quiet and withdrawn and angry. The other day I was helping neighbors out and his wife says to me” LilBit( my handicapped daughter) and your cat are outside”. V I ran over, expecting the worse, but Mrs sitting at computer totally zoned out. I asked if she was alright and did she know where LilBit was she answered no why? I told her where she was. 15 ft away from where your sitting but outside, cat is gone, didn’t you hear the door open? Blank stare returned. Yesterday Mrs was so angry. Shaking angry, snapping at me , LilBit,cat, and arguing with people on FB. I asked her what’s wrong? She just looked at me and started crying and said. I don’t know, help me.
So no sleep last night. Hard for me to tell her I don’t what do , except make a phone call most of us here had to make.
I’m so proud of her today! I had a few drinks these past few weeks. I failed all of us. Out of last 215 days I drank on 6 days within last 3weeks. I’m not perfect I failed. But for first time since I made my call for help last Oct12,, I have some real hope. I think I’m gonna get my most important team mate back.

My dad quit drinking 30+ years ago and his advice to me was don't ever give up.

It's not easy, and you probably beat yourself up more than anyone else would.

I tried to quit so many times I lost count. I ended up getting help and have stayed sober since (10 years at the end of '21 if I keep it up).

I hope best for you.

...One of the worst things in life, are thoughts "it should be easy"................
.....It ain't easy, if it were easy..........it would be ....."EASY".........

ONE MORE TIME....."It ain't easy"

....I remember attending a competition where I sat in the stands and watched the runners run a ....
...."Marathon"...and it looked so easy...Afterwards, I tried to run a ..."mile" ..& I couldn't get even to
a city block or about 600 feet without running out of breath..I didn't realize how difficult that would
be..

...Try again...It ain't easy...but don't give up hope... Often times "changing behavior" is the hardest thing we ever do.

...I noticed that there is a delete key on the computer.....(something called a back space, is that correct?)
When I hit the ...back space key...I delete the letter or the word..There are lots of other ways to
delete stuff on a computer...even something called...........spell check...............yes, I use that one
very often...
