Dear Alcohol.

"I know we've been through a lot together, and for a very long time you have been the one constant in my life. You've seen me through dark days, happy events, births, deaths, marriages, triumphs and tribulations. You have given me courage when I had none. You have never questioned or judged me. You have nursed me through the pains of defeat and partaken in the joys of victory. You have been my friend when others have left me by the wayside and turned their backs. You…

It has been far from easy but I have managed to stay sober for 14 days now. I can’t remember the last time I said that. It was possibly as many as 30 years ago. That’s a lot of drinking, a lot of money and more importantly, a lot of mistakes made whilst under the influence of the Demon Drink. I have done it because I wanted to. Not because someone told me I had to. Of course, I have been told this in the past, as I have been told many other things I chose not to listen to. We all know the…

So, that's it then. Week one is nearly done and dusted (save for a few hours that will hopefully pass by incident free). I have spent the few days since my last post seeking out more apt sites than Bloggymoms.com for my posts which regular readers will realize have shifted somewhat from the very sad subject of Termination to Addiction and am not sure whether this will be my last post on the site. It would be a shame if that were the case as…

Oh no! I've broken my promise already..... No, not that one! I'm still sober as a judge (do you honestly believe Judges stay sober by the way? I don't). The one about updating my blog every day! Sorry dear friends, but I have been too busy "doing" rather than writing. And replying to messages of support and love from all corners of the world for which I am eternally grateful. As I have said to many whom have written to me, it's an "inside job with outside help" and I can't thank everyone…

Today I made the biggest decision of my life - to stop drinking. To stop drinking totally and for good. I won't pretend it's been easy, even though I am only 18 hours into my sobriety. In fact, it's been hell. I shake, am tearful and have sunken into a depression through my craving for Alcohol already. I wasn't always an…

I am my own worst enemy...



I have the best of intentions when it comes to life . . . 



My head is a constant battlefield, full of competing ideas, dreams and to-do lists. I am a marketing and advertising companies dream!  If only I could figure out how to organize all of these wonderful thoughts and dreams.



As a child or teenager, we are often asked what we want to be when we grow up...well, here I am, all grown up, and I still ask myself this question every…

We're currently looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer for our Nanuet, NY office. Thought I'd post on here in case any of you mommys (or your husbands) are qualified and looking for a full-time job. Full details of position can be found here: http://www.joeshopping.com/articles/jobs/

Thanks very much!

Working from home can be a dream come true, or it can be a disaster waiting to happen. Combining the work environment and the home

environment can add daily stress to the home atmosphere. Organizing the

work space will offer some solutions to this stress.

Your work space should be a defined area. It may be an extra bedroom, the dining room table, or a corner in the family room.

Take the time to define the space and claim it as a work space. Doing…

You may have heard the phrase, failure leads to success. There are many stories of those who have failed at a venture. They would take that

failure, learn from it and use it to create a successful venture. There

are also stories of those who have succeeded, and that success led them

to failure.

What happens in a successful business that can lead to failure?…
