The starting of a new year


Howdy to all of my MIP family!


I know it has been too long since I have been here and I really need to keep coming back and especially more often!


I have been having several issues that I am battling with.  My husband is still drinking and now in denial as to being an alcoholic.  He had 10 yrs clean and has been out since May.  I have been praying for a miracle, hoping, wishing it can go back to the way it was.  So far, it hasn't.  He is still drinking every day.  I talked to him about it yesterday, and all he would say is that he doesn't feel guilty for drinking again.  He enjoys it.  He has apologized for the things he has said and done to me, but other than that, he has liked drinking again.


I also found out today that my youngest son, Bryon, is in REMISSION!!!!!  After our year long battle w/his cancer, he had a full set of scans and tests.  They show no sign of caner!  Thank you God!!!  We did find in one of the scans though that he does have pneumonia, so we are treating that right now, but I just thank God that the cancer is GONE!  So many of you have been there for me through this tough time, THANK YOU!


Now that things are settling down w/Bryon, I feel that I can finally get back to my meetings, gett'n together w/my sponsor and having a life!  I started my own Home and Garden Party business and having a blast.  I just want to enjoy life now.  Bryon will be good, my husband will do as he needs and I can just take care of myself!


Again, thank you all for your experience, strength and hope and especially your love!

*Christy jumps for joy and does a back flip*

Sorry about your A though. It must be rough to have such joy on one side and sadness on the other.
Hope to see you back in chat, I've missed you and often wondered how you and Bryon were doing.

love,
Christy

Sandy~

Wishing you a happy new year filled with exciting new things. Glad to hear that Bryon is in remission. I'm sorry about your husband but I know you will stay strong. You are an incredibly courateous person and have come through so many things with an incredible desire to survive! Your courage inspires me. You and your family are in my prayers.
