I work in the cement industry and every year gifts are brought around. We have a new customer that just brought us all a very expensive very nice bottle of red wine. I have to be honest I gave it to my father in law just now (I work with him) but with everything going on it was real hard to......I still want to go in there and get that bottle back from him and just say f--- it and get good and drunk.....But I can't and won't do that. Today that is not really an option anymore no matter how tempted I am. Yea I might feel real good for a second and then spend more time feeling guilty because I let myself down.
Whew, I feel so much better saying that and getting that off my chest.
Love You and thanks for listening

I too am proud of you.... Dont know how much that means...
Keep it up!!!

Thank you all so much. I kept thinking just one drink and I don't have to think about prisons, parole or nothing, then I thought ya you'd just end up in there with him. No thank you......I just want a break from the prison scene just for a little while.

cracknegg said it perfectly for me!

Thank you so much. You have helped me out plenty of times by the nice loving words that you say. cracknegg said it perfectly for me!

Hey Jeanne,
we all ove you and I am so proud of you girl! Keep telling yourself that if you drink, you may forget the whole prison thing for a while, but when it's over, it'll all come back and so will the guilt.... when you get off from work, go reward yourself with a huge chocolate cake or cheesecake.. or whatever makes you happy!!!!

Thank you so much. The guilt would have killed me or my 14yr old or Val and the rest of yall so Yea I did it....Thanks to all of you.

Yep, one drink sounds mighty good doesn't it but the reality is, one leads to guilt, shame and the destruction of the soul

You go gurl. I am proud of you for turning it around and doing the RIGHT thing. I know its hard, but god gave you a test and you passed. You are doing great!

Jeanne!!! I am so proud of you!!! You are in inspiration!!!

Love you!!

You all are so right. I was telling my son about this last night and he just gave me a funny look. I asked what was up he say oh I was just trying to figure how to take down, when you got good and drunk and started throwing up, so that you could lay in your own puke!!!!! Talk about a wake up....

Our kids know way more than we want them to sometimes!

Jeanne -- do you have any idea how proud I am of you or how much I love you girl? I'm going to print this off and send it to both our guys because they need to know the strength you are showing here on the outside!

Love you girl!

Val

Congratulations!! I hope you give yourself credit for the strength you have shown!!

Thanks Enjay. You really made my day...
