Trying to keep track of how many days I have is a real nuisance for me. So I'm just gonna try to keep track by posting it so I don't forget.

**Dee74** · 05-29-2009, 09:10 PM

you're not Jason - we are not our addiction - ever.
....or how it makes us feel

allport · 05-30-2009, 02:23 AM

Oh Jason I wish you realised what a special person you are

Pixy1 · 05-30-2009, 04:18 AM

Morning all, I've slept late again!!

I slept really well but I still woke up with every organ aching. Is that normal?

Jason your not! your a good soul that struggles like the rest of us. Please keep posting :ghug

**Dee74** · 05-30-2009, 04:23 AM

doesn't sound abnormal Pix

ananda · 05-30-2009, 07:24 AM

good morning all

aw jason listen to dee he's right on! i truley believe in the insanity that precedes the first drink...it takes a lot of different forms, but one form is thing we are shxt....that can take us down a path to using and other self destructive behaviors...

I think the smart tools on irrational beliefs might help with that.

I suffer from the thoughts that i am kali the destroyer and everything i touch turns to shite, but i have to work my way out of that when it starts to creep in.

sorry guys not posting today....

It is interesting how this works...i felt a little too vunerable and scared earlier this week....this lead to acting out of fear and has now settled into sort of an annoying edgyness...feeling i might lash out if i'm not careful

its crzy but i'm having a good week, a good day...but i see these things i said above sorta simmering under the surface....effecting my intereactions some...

I guess thats what taking a look at my self daily does...lets me see what sort of things are bubbling down there and maybe take care of them before they find a crack in the shell and blast out like a volcano....

problem is what to do..sharing it with others, doing my mediation..it keeps it from spilling over too bad, but it isn't solving it...crp i know i know...need to go to a councelor....bleh.....i'll get there

Its the same way with work i keep digging the same hole over and over again...i wish i would grow faster, learn faster, change faster....

All the knowing in the world doesnt' change things...there is something more...Hope? action obviously...i don't know i just don't get it

BUT...I feel pretty dmn fortunate that at this point this stuff doesn't lead me to drinking as an option...yet....

being sober alone isn't enough and yet it is.....one of those paradoxes i have to come to embrace to live my life.

ok....my little mind emptying is done for now.....resume the usual banter plese before i make myself sick lol:ghug

SpeedyJason · 05-30-2009, 04:24 PM

Nan

Mind dumping is okay, right?

You can only change what you're truly willing to change, and I can see that you're getting close.
I'm glad you're not drinking either by the way.

ananda · 05-30-2009, 05:08 PM

ok pixie...check in time

**Dee74** · 05-30-2009, 05:13 PM

you can vent to me A - I don't scare easy

D

Pixy1 · 05-30-2009, 05:22 PM

Sober!

I can't believe so few people actualy drink.

Turns out the people I was sat with dont drink lol (I work with these people)

The ones that were drunk well thank god it wasn't me and I will be waking up with a clear head

My only down fall was, I arrived late at the reception and missed the food. I come home really hungry and ate too much pizza!

Pixy1 · 05-30-2009, 05:24 PM

It was home made pizza, does that make it better?
