Hey Guys n Gals!
It's been a really tough couple of weeks. Last week with the funeral was almost unbearable, I am grateful for this program to help me through. Even though this wasn't my family I could certainly feel all their pain especially my BF. Hi son's didn't even come to the funeral, for some reason they have disowned him. Really from what I see they are spoiled little brats and don't see what he has done for them, they only see what he hasn't. Not trying to understand at all what he has been through with their mother. She calls him a dead beat dad, which is absolutely not ture. They where married for 25 years, she never had to work, they lived in an upscale neighborhood, he put three children through private school, after the divorce she took everything. He hasn't been able to recover from that, now every two years she still brings him to court trying to get more money. I went with him the last time, its like what you see on divorce court, so rediculious. The two boys are 21 and 21. On a good note, their daughter is 30 living now in Germany. Thankfully she see's differently, they have a great relationship. She is coming home this weekend, I'm really looking forward to seeing her, she's a gem!
So, as far as my progress: I drank pretty heavy through the funeral, no embarassing moments, thank God! At the most I had 8 drinks in a day. Still trying to recover from that virus thing I had, I developed an upper respratory thing. Sore throat, draining, stuffy nose, coughing, coughing, coughing. To boot, over last weekend, I had been wanting to adopt a couple of cats. I really miss my cats, I use to have two siamese, at first two seal points, then, one blue point and one seal point. Searching the internet I found a couple of sphynx kittens I feel in love with. To make a long story short, IT WAS A SCAM!!! I didn't lose too much money, I could have lost more. I caught on to the scam an hour after they said the kittens where going to be delivered. Get this, the next day the shipping company tried to hit me for almost a thousand dollars more! That following day was a night mare trying to get them off my back. Luckily it was a cash transfer through Western Union. I'm considering prosacuting.
This week has been no piece of cake either. I've been on the road traveling for work, with my upper respratory thing getting worse and worse. My boss is livit with how much work I've missed in the past two months, what can I do!? I made it through until the last day coming home early to get to the doctor, I made arrangements to have someone cover for me the on the last call. All week, not sleeping well, up most of the nights coughing, not being able to breath. Two AF days, on the other days two maybe three drinks, not thinking about alcohol, only at the end of the day to relax from the day of pushing through, pushing to be at the top of my game, kinda of like faking it till you make it. I couldn't take it anymore, and my schedule of the last day of the trip was starting at 10A and wouldn't end to 11:30P if I was lucky, with no rest inbetween, ending with a four hour drive home. In the moring after no sleep the night before I knew I wouldn't make it,I had to get to the doctor and home to rest.
Today I am feeling someone has it out for me getting hit from all sides, what the Hell am I doing wrong. Just noticed time, GTG. Picking up, pushing forward, trying to get to something good today. Chin up mates, it's been worse, and alcohol is not the problem today, now this is something to be really greatful for!!!

Sorry for any miss spellings, and I think I ranted a bit this morning. Feels good to get it off my chest.
