You are an ANGEL!!! KEEP IT UP....I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!!!
Hey Hun!!! Thanks for stopping by my dairy!!! You made my day....

I love when I find fellow people who have a hard time with the drinks! I know you told me you quit for a while, and now after reading your whole thread, I'm starting to wonder if it is in relation to all the turmoil that was going through your life at the moment with your daughter! I AM SOOOO SORRY

about your daughter! It kills me to hear that it was a "DRUNK DRIVER"....and I hope that you don't hate me when I tell you this, but when I was 18 I was a drunk driver too

. I am now about to be 26 in Dec., but I'll tell you this...I LEARNED MY LESSON HARD CORE.....I do not drink and drive now, they send me to the morgue for about 8 hours one day, 8 hours at the hospital Emergency room, 32 days of Caltrans Cleaning the fwy, and jail for 3 days!....At the morgue, I saw a million and one bodies, and I heard people HEART BREAKING stories from people's families who were affected by people like us...NOT CARING, DRIVING CARELESSLY....

I still remember that day as if it was yesterday! I always will....it hurts to this day thinking about it...because I spent 3 days in jail....my mom came to visit me.....and it wasn't what I wanted for my life! That night, I thank God, that I didn't kill anyone...I totaled a new parked vehicle, and I can't remember that night...UNTIL TODAY! Only from what the police report said....HOW SAD IS THAT right!
I did quit drinking for a LONG WHILE too, and then I started again,....though I do not drink and drive now,...but still....only because I learned a LESSON at a young age,.....I AM SOOOOO GRATEFUL

because I could have harmed someone, harmed myself, and destroyed my loved ones.
I appreciate you sharing this with us, because it makes me REINFORCE and RELIVE all the crap I PUT MYSELF in....I wouldn't change it one bit though, because I would say...that SO MANY TIMES I almost faced DEATH....so many times....then...I CAN'T REMEMBER driving let alone, getting home....
I don't drink like that anymore, I am wiser, but I feel your pain....and I can't help but want to cry right now, because I remember all of the people that spoke that day for us at the morgue, and I can't help but think YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM speaking, and I COULD HAVE been the one who KILLED your loved one!
...you know, I have found though, that I do use "alcohol" to mask pain sometimes, or to push away a situation that needs dealing with....which is why I have trouble with it....not to mention...I get THIRSTY

dammit!
It has helped me to really deal with things like you said, and you do realize a lot in the process!
I just wanted to tell you that YOU ARE AMAZING!!! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!! GOD LOVES YOU!!! AND YOUR FAMILY IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!!!
P.S. ....you said that you were scarred to talk to your hubby about his weight,....but I think though it is a touchy subject, he doesn't sound well....and if you love him, tell him what you fear, because if things don't change....your fear only keeps becoming more of a reality.
...tell him.....I know it hurt when my bf had told me I got BIG...he said it nice, he did....but did it hurt still?!?! Yesss....of course...we don't see ourselves like that.....or that big....but what it did make me realize, is that it wasn't about looks, it was about the concern for my own life! The talk...did inspire me to take my "LIFE BACK" and do something about it.....slowly yessss....but still here fighting...."WALKING THE WALK"!!!!
....sorry so long.....I guess I just understand what it's like to be on the other end of the sticks you hold.......
