This coming 15th is the 6 year anniversary of my mom's death. My tradition has been to get loaded. Obviously not planning to do that now. My girlfriends know I need to be with friends, and I'm doubling up on meetings. Going to an 8:45 meeting tonight even though that's late for me. Any other suggestions?

I always try to think of a few of the really good moments i had with my Mom when that day comes around (it is the 19th for me). When i think of all the times we laughed together, it makes things a little easier. Be gentle with yourself. Love, Karen

Thanks ladies. =) Right now I'm willing to do anything that will make the day a little easier so I don't crave drinking. Those are very good suggestions.

I agree, think of the good times with your mom and seeing pictures of her while she was having a good time. Another thing that may help is to think of her looking down on you right now and seeing how well you are doing and how proud of you she is. That may give you some piece of mind and also some encouragement to make it through another day in our life. Whatever you think will work for you and is SAFE, do it. Meetings, being with family, whatever it takes but remember, she still is watching you and is so very proud of what all you have done and how far you have came. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
