2016 Update: I care more about this blog than I do that "they" can read it, otherwise I'd stop writing it and create a new one. As long as they finally leave me and my little family alone, there should be no problem, even though I requested that they don't read it. Since they have no interest in my writing, I'm probably safe. I hope so hard they will finally respect our wishes of no contact. I care so much about telling the truth and bringing healing. I fought my entire life to bring communication, truth, and healing to my FOO. There's nothing left to fight for so I have given up, at age 59. I can now only bring healing to myself and other survivors through my words. I finally went back to work on my heart-wrenching memoir that I wrote in 2012 that I originally wrote for them as my last Hope of getting my beloved family of origin and relatives back. But, There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See

Re-Embracing Life As A Sobrietist -- May It Last And Last

FOREVER would be good! Haven't tried that one before! I've been doing the off-and-on dance with drinking for four decades.

This morning I woke up with the loving intention and with the want and need to quit drinking. The reason is because it's Simply Not Worth The Risk to possibly hurting myself, my family, or someone else.

In 2 1/2 years of mostly moderate drinking, after being completely abstinent from all substances the full year of 2012 when I wrote my memoir, it's starting to scare me; drinking; my physiology/alcohol allergy or whatever is scaring me. I haven't been able to stick to my drinking plan very well this year.

For anyone looking for a great new sobriety organization, check out Soberistas. Also, I recommend  HAMS  for support with either harm reduction, abstinence, or moderation. I especially recommend their new forum.
