Your ability to express what we are feeling and going through, in a compassionate and witty way, is amazing and so many of us from all over the world can connect. I read your blog pretty much everyday and worry and hope for the best when some of your "regulars" are gone for a while. Just as I am now, like the rest of this cyber community, sending best wishes to Anne, her family and her community. Thank you for making these connections. :)<br />WaxWinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397407130387526411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-69537813913369990342016-05-07T01:05:56.401-07:002016-05-07T01:05:56.401-07:00Welcome Break Free!

However, I never thought I had a problem with alcohol until last night. I am the-glass-of-wine each evening/ or Becks Blue and never drink and drive. Last night it all changed. I went to a social at my old school and I got sloshed on 2 glasses of proseco and embarrassed myself beyond belief. I regailed the 6th form with stories of drinking sherry in tooth mugs etc to their obvious horror / disgust. (These girls are v timid ---not the St Trinian types of my day). THEN I drove home- I must have been over the limit- what an idiot. Of course I slept badly and now I am full of shame at my stupid behaviour. SO you don't have to be drinking bottles a night so that you pass out - you can make an arse of yourself with just a couple of glasses. The event reminded me what a loudmouth idiot I used to be. It was a horrible flash back. <br />Thanks for the link to Anne's blog - it's brough home the reality of the wildfires. Keep up the good work. xxx Middle Aged Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185794700191702420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-71379933787560544622016-05-06T19:22:02.346-07:002016-05-06T19:22:02.346-07:00Hi there, I am a new follower and I am so glad I f...Hi there, I am a new follower and I am so glad I found your post.

I really don't think I could have done this if it wasn't for my blog and all of yours. Anne was one of the first people to reach out to me and offer support. My heart breaks for her and her family. I can't imagine what she must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with her and I hope this nightmare is over soon.

So Anne and her family are heavy on my mind. And yes, I'm realizing how critical connection is to helping us in so many areas of our lives. I would absolutely not be at Day 26 without both of you and so many other new friends. Fascinating information about those rats. Here's the donation link. All donations being matched by Canadian government. https://donate.redcross.ca/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1951&ea.campaign.id=50610&gclid=CIO0_urNxswCFZNafgodhdIHWQRipleybellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484735194209368209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-4784047113310248542016-05-06T15:13:58.886-07:002016-05-06T15:13:58.886-07:00Hi SM!

Brings home how important simple gratitude is.<br /><br />But, oh how right you are SM, in the early part of your post. I am 100 percent positive I would not be feeling success in this journey IF I felt that I was on it alone. I'm sure I would have caved along the way were it not for the sense, right or wrong, that I'd be 'letting people down'...as well as: They are doing it. You can too!! A thank you to you...and everyone along the way.Northwoman1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/09855277712359787495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-43862417846145249042016-05-06T10:46:02.513-07:002016-05-06T10:46:02.513-07:00So true!

I had to leave the room as felt overwhelmed by both situations. In the old drinking days I would have been numb to it but not now. flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876132928632708792noreply@blogger.com
