read any good motivational books?
It's day 2 for me and after falling off my wagon after 4.5 months I awoke with a goal to make it stick this time. I have been thinking about the triggers for me choosing to drink again and I think I have it....
I am a wife and mum and full time worker and don't really do much outside the home - I even work from home! I just feel tired of looking after everyone else and being taken for granted and undervalued. So I chose to shut off and drink by myself - not healthy. I used to be so confident and sociable but as my husband isn't at all - gradually any friendships have fizzled out as he just won't socialise at all. people have stopped asking us out. The eldest kids are enjoying university or work and have busy lives and use the place as a glorified hotel. At 50 years of age I have just become invisible! I have withdrawn into myself and drinking blocked out how very miserable and lonely I am.
So to make this stick this time I really do need to re-invent myself, get out, meet people, try new things - find myself! but where to start?? It all seems a lot more difficult somehow.
Anyone read any good motivational self help books to get me going?
