Sorry Patricia. Have you had blood work done, including hormones and thyroid? No medical advice, but maybe to rule out physical things?
Great milestone Key! Kitty, glad you are doing well.
I'm back to Day 2, buckled under some back to work and husband stress. He is similar to yours Patricia, hard to take constant negativity. Usually I am able to ignore it as I know it's his problem, not mine. It's tough though, I hear you.
I have decided to allow vanity into my play the tape forward for drinking. Big bags and dark circles added to the tape. I also realized since my slips since last October's binge have been short and moderate I started to minimize them in my head, that slippery slope. I know better. Anxiety, bags, circles, and sweats don't happen to normal drinkers after a couple of beers or wine, so that's telling, right? Lots of belly breathing today.
We are having a big storm so I'm going out front in a raincoat to slosh around to feel close to nature. That always helps me.
Take care all
