update to living with my mom

she's totally supportive of helping me out and understands I need have certin foods...she told me I could set up the spare room into my own personal gym...she even bought me a treadmill!! She's a drunk but she does have her moments. Shes going to buy a mini fridge she said for her ice cream lol. Thanks everyone whos been here for me, you guys rock!! Stac

Wow, it sounds like your Mom has come a long way in her thinking about somebody else for a change.  Which is hard for an alcoholic because the addiction has to come first. Who knows, by the time it's all said and done, you may have her eating right and exercising!  Have fun on your new treadmill. Mary

That's awesome, Stacy!  I hope it all works out for you.

I'm so glad, Stacy..  don't let down your guard though..   :)

That is awesome that she is being that supportive!!! I hope that continues and maybe it is all going to turn out for the best and it will go better then you thought! But still, keep your guard up!! Keep us updated

Stacy that is such wonderful news!!!!  I'm an eternal optimist so I hope this is a new page for her to continue to grow.  Of course at the same time I am a realist (strange combination).  I always hope for the best and plan for the worst. This is so great and should be cherished.  I hope it works out.  It's such a great sign your mom is willing to convert a room into a gym for you and move the temptations so you won't have to see them.

Wow! VERY COOL!!!  WTG MOM!!! Sounds like you have a good support there... even with the alcohol issues... she loves you and wants to help you realize your dream of being HEALTHY and HAPPY!!! 

Cool!  I'm glad she's all for it, she loves you!  Maybe (hopefully) this won't have to be a bad experience after all.  I'm not sure how long since you've lived there, but maybe she realizes your all grown up now and her bad habits can't get in the way.  Either way, don't let them!  I also come from an alcoholic home so I can relate.  But with me he was always drunk so I never even noticed it most of the time.  Sort of sad isn't it.  Just keep strong and firm with what you believe in, I  have a feeling she will think it's great that you have taken initiative on living a healthy life style with your new life your creating for yourself!  Plus who knows, maybe some of it might run off on her! :)  

Glad to see your life is turning in the right direction...((((applause))))) 

I'm happy for you, Stacy.  Sounds like you have a busy schedule and even if things get bad at home, you can lock your door and take your frustrations out on that treadmill.  Hoping everything remains on an even keel with your mom.

thanks everyone for being here for me...I feel lik eyou all are my second family sometimes!! I'll keep you updated on everything.
