Why does it always have to be me?

Why does it fall on me to always be the 1st for everything?

I just found and joined this site yesterday, and I've decided after reading these postings that you "girls" are my soul mates.  I'm 56, live in Florida, single but with a long-time boyfriend, two cats, a great job, and almost 4 years sober.  Terry, I hope you get your "bracelet" off soon -- tomorrow, if possible.  Do you go to AA meetings?  If there are any women's groups in your area, I'd be willing to bet you could attend a few and locate a few women attorneys who might be willing to help you out.  My support group had attorneys and judges....several of each, actually.  If you're going to meetings regularly, wouldn't it  make an impression on the court?  If you need a ride, contact the central office for your area.  I hate it that while alcoholism is recognized as a disease, it is punished as a crime. If drinking a driving is a crime, cops could stake out upscale bars and arrest politicians and other big shots every day.  What's illegal is getting caught -- which I never did.  I drove intoxicated so many times that I could not even begin to count....thousands of times for sure, and don't have even one DUI? .  Am I better than you? NO WAY- I just didn't get caught.  My Christian counselor has one DUI that he got following his 45th birthday party....and he isn't an alcoholic at all. It doesn't seem at all fair, to me.  Why don't all recovering alcoholics have to wear a bracelet?  What about recovering Vicodin addicts?  They can't fail a breathilyzer, so they don't have to wear bracelets.  Well, I'll get off my soapbox and go on over to the anxiety forum..... Hang in there, and know I'll be praying for you..

Aint that a hoot?  :0)  If you're in need for a good laugh....check it out.  I almost piddled at one point.  Greenlydia cracks me up!

Hope you get some relief soon!  :0(  Glad you were able to get a few laughs anyway!

You girls really want to start your day off with some girly humour? You have to check out the anxiety forum and read all the posts from Caligirls question about periods!!! Nursegirl knows what I'm talking about. I was cracking up...it is all so true. Any anxiety you might be feeling will go away once you read this lolololololol! Bracelet still on ofcourse I'm one day closer to Monday and hopefully my independence day! Hope everyone had a pleasant 4th, rained most of the day here, wk was slow but the rain cleared up for the evening fireworks, could see some from wk. Got to do my wkly allowed shopping trip this a.m. and then it's off to wk at 2 SOSDD. standing by, Terry.

Hey Terry, we will all celebrate with you too!  It will be a good time for a shaken green tea from Starbucks and the scram shuffle too!  woohoo
I bet you will have a busy day at Subway!  My hubby is barbecueing about 30 lbs. of spareribs and we made a huge pasta salad.  Going to his folks.   His Dad has cancer and it is not good, so we are spending as much time with him as possible.  So the whole fam-damily will be over there.  They are right across the river from us.
I don't think we will be going in for the fireworks tonight, but no doubt we will be hearing them.  We heard them last night after we went to bed.   Ibi, is it hard on your pooches?  It use to make our little dog a nervous wreck.  WE had him for 17 years.  Haven't gotten another because we go so much, it isn't fair to the dog and plus would cost a fortune for the doggie motel for as long as we are on the go, but mostly not fair to the dog.  Tonya
