Belle

I want to put this online, to hold myself accountable. I want to document the noise in my head. I'm tired of thinking about drinking. date of last drink: june 30, 2012

  • Glad to hear you are ok. As soon as the news broke I wondered if you were alright. My thoughts are with you and other Parisians during this truly awful time. X

  • I’m really glad that you and Mr Belle are OK. What a shock this awful time has been. It’s still difficult to take in what has and is still happening. I hope for peace and sharing good lemon cake with open hearts. Take care. xx

  • Belle, I am so relieved that you and your husband are safe, and so very sad for the victims and their families, and for lovely Paris. A close family member who was extremely dear to my heart, and one of the warmest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met, used to make lemon bread/cake and bring it whenever a little cheer and nurturing was needed. Coincidence that you too are making and sharing lemon poppyseed cake as a gesture of healing after something so terrible? I think not.

    And starve that anus wolf. As you know, listening to him and drinking will only make all of this worse.

  • I am glad too. It is such a horrible thing to happen to Paris. It isn’t just Paris that is affected, we all stand with you during this horrible atrocity.

Thank you Belle for being of service to your fellow humans, a warm gathering, tea and lemon poppyseed cake will definitely warm hearts and souls. I too, thought of you. Glad you are well.

  • Great post. So right re: which bastard Wolfie are you going to feed? Don’t let those a-holes win by drinking. We need to stay strong and focused more than ever. Being mindful and present is an absolute must. Glad you’re safe.

  • Belle, I am relieved to hear that you and your husband are safe. Praying that peace will end these horrors. My own problems seem so petty compared to this.

  • OK.. to keep from being the insane definition that Einstein quoted: “Doing the same thing and expecting a different result = insanity.” I am doing something different this time. I found YOU. I’m going to the toy store and buying a mini cooper matchbox car to keep with me thanks to your analogy Belle. I’m following this blog. …and here I am POSTING to this blog. I’m out there now. I’m in the sober seeking stratosphere. This crept up on me like a very quiet snake…I can’t believe I’ve had to admit that I have a drinking problem. I still can’t say the label. I don’t know if I ever will be able to call myself that.

    This is my DAY 2.
