Thanks Kitty for shout out and good going on declining HH!!
I am not beating myself up this time, just trying to remain positive about more sober time between the drinks and glad it was a moderate amount. Sinking into self loathing has done me no favors in the past. However my extreme anxiety has returned, so working on that. Have no desire to drink it away though, progress bit by bit. I am back to working my SMART workbook and making plans with friends to keep busy. (Spouse is almost unbearable every December, ignores my birthday (deliberately), is quite demeaning, and rude, but refuses to see a dr. )I think it's seasonal depression but unless someone wants to help themself not much I can do?
Hope everyone else is hanging in??
You okay Clown, Retread?
