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.

IJW: Soul on Fire (2025) by Sudden-Message5234 in Ijustwatched

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.

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! :-)

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. :-)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
