I've always been intimidated by the Pit. . . but so many people post the most adorable pictures of them online and you can see the gentleness in their eyes also.
I'm going to cheer for the Bears . . . if they are playing today.
Catch you later!

Hey Jude, How are you going? Let us know of your progress. Its a massive battle staying sober. Some days I just have to white knuckle it through.

Hi Slimkim, Thanks for your good wishes. My main trouble seems to boredom at night which is when I drink. I don't seem to be able to instigate other activities like other people can. I have wicked indigestion at the moment and am sleeping half sitting up. I don't know if this is related to the alcohol but I suspect so.
I so want out of this mess. I fought anorexia/bulimia for over 15 years but am now completely over it. I wish I could tap into the same strength with the alcohol. Wishing you all the best Judexx

Hi Jude, I understand the hesitancy toward Pits. Anna, my Pit mix is one of the most gentle dogs I've ever had. Macy, my Border Collie mix, is the Alpha dog for sure.
Glad to hear you overcame Bulimia/Anorexia. I suffered from Bulimia for 10 years but that was a very long time ago. Hope all is well !
Beth

Hey Jude, Thats terrible that you have to sleep half sitting up. Maybe try reading a good book at night is all I can come up with atm. Try your hardest to stay sober. It is so worth it.

Hi Slimkim, Thanks for your support. I am starting to come onto the forum everyday now like I used to about 4 years ago. My indigestion has passed with the tablet that I take. I have an awful habit of running out of medication.
Whereabouts in the world are you? I am on the South Coast in the UK but spent many years in London. Not that far from Caht and JoeY as the crow flies. I hope they settle down in America and enjoy their lives. So much has happened over the years on this forum. It is truly inspiring. Take care, best wishes Judex

Hi Beth, Thanks for your post. I love all dogs and I had a Border Collie named "Bonnie" who died in 2010. Not a day goes past that I don't think of her. You said you were in Tenenesse. I am thinking that this is where Teri was?
I go back to work tomorrow after a 3 week break. I will be glad actually. I went to my cousin for a few days but the last 8 days I have spent lying in bed watching my iPad. I couldn't even be bothered to keep my hair appt and told them I was ill. I am very down at the moment and the days just go by with such a sameness it is frightening. Keep well, Judex

Hey Jude, Sorry to hear you are doing it so tough. I'm glad your indigestion has passed. The last time I drank I woke up with such bad reflux I thought I was going to suffocate. Its easy to get down when you first give up, but I think its part of your body repairing itself. Hopefully as the days pass your energy will be renewed and you will feel like a new person and maybe develop some new interests. I live in Australia so there is a bit of a time difference. Stay well and keep going. You are doing great.

Hi Jude, first I want to say I'm sorry that you're having a difficult time. I believe that it will pass eventually, as your mind and body are really going through an adjustment. Be kind to yourself. Being back at work will most likely be beneficial to you.
Yes, Terri lived near Nashville, Tn. I miss her so much. She was truly a genuine, kind and loving person who added so very much to the forum.
Stay strong and in touch, Beth
