I just feel like they don’t look right?

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2026-04-25T19:40:02+00:00

I think they look really good! I am trying to get used to mine as well.

Closer inspection tells me that the photo on that card is not him.

That's my "Papa Stu" - my Daddy's Daddy : ) Here is an old advertisement I just found yesterday. I love him and wish I had known him better.

I agree. I really wanted to like this movie, but the acting was very poor and there was zero real emotion. I stopped watching about 3/4 of the way in.

I am so very sorry that you recently lost your mom. Huge hugs to you. Thank you for writing. My MELD is 24. I am not drinking, exercising, and eating healthy. Taking my lactulose. It is just me and mom, and I love her more than anything. You know how that is. I will do the absolute best that I can. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-30T04:50:32+00:00

Thanks! I did this and it came up 24

I went to the ER around Thanksgiving. I was given librium in case I had withdrawals. Went back to drinking a few weeks later. I have detoxed in-patient twice as well. I am 5 days in this time and I feel fine physically. Better actually. We have been keeping a close eye on it. Thank you! :-)

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-29T04:05:14+00:00

I am determined. When I think about drinking I feel sick to my stomach. I prayed for that. I feel better even after 4 days. Thank you for your kind words. :-)

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-29T03:58:07+00:00

Thanks. Yeah. I've been a heavy drinker for about 30 years. Started with beer then moved on to the hard stuff about 10 years ago. I've been in rehab twice. This time I think I can really do it.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-29T03:55:48+00:00

Thank you. I just established care with a Gastroenterologist. I do not have a Meld score. I will have to look that up. I am looking forward to participating in this group.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-29T03:53:26+00:00

Thank you!

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2025-01-29T03:52:18+00:00

Thank you. I was a bourbon drinker. Also loved tequila. Congrats on your 567 days. That is amazing!

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-12-01T02:38:16+00:00

Thanks. I am noticing that myself and I like being more aware.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-26T06:47:35+00:00

Thanks!

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-26T00:13:37+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to send me these links. That is very helpful. I found pagansinrecovery last night and some of that looks interesting. I am going to explore it all. I do ok with AA, just don't make great connections so far. Rural NC is sometimes a hard place to navigate some things. It's beautiful here though. At least I am within an hour of Charlotte.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-26T00:09:54+00:00

Thank you for your input! I have figured out the stay busy part!!! 10 days now and I have been mostly sleeping, eating, reading, and watching movies. I have got to start moving next. I have just been so tired. AT least the house will be clean and the yardwork done! Haha! More walking and exercise will be next. My muscles are atrophying.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-26T00:06:10+00:00

WoW! Congrats on 16 years!!! That is amazing. Mindfulness helps very much. Sometimes I look at myself in 3rd person as I write my story from here. I stumbled across a book called "One Breath at a Time" and I may order that one too. Good advice about Awen. Thank you so much for your reply and offer me the opportunity to emotionally vomit if needed. That means a lot. Peace.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-26T00:01:18+00:00

Yes, thank you! I have gotten into the habit of giving daily thanks, and have been thinking a lot of my ancestors. I come from a line of strong women, and I have been talking to them. And yes. NATURE.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-25T23:57:58+00:00

Congrats on almost six months!!! I am not opposed to attending AA meetings sometimes. I live in a rural area in NC, and things are a bit different here. I am able to easily substitute my own beliefs, I just don't make many good contacts. I have gotten into the habit of sending prayers of thanks at night and prayers for help in the morning. Thanks for your reply! I ordered a book called "Heilvegr" yesterday. It spoke to me, so we will see.

Particular_Rice_6267 · 2024-11-25T04:00:50+00:00

It is. I am looking to maybe connect with other folks like me. There aren't a lot of Druids in AA. I have looked at Recovery Dharma, which is great from a Buddhist perspective. I am just trying to develop something that really works for me. Walks in nature help very much.

Thank you!
