Aversion therapy could be service work. Working with others NEVER fails. I always try to remember that feelings are not facts. Feelings are real, but in us they are always in the extreme like most everything else with us. Thank God I don't have to make decisions based on how I feel anymore or act on how I feel. But i don't have to sit in them either. I have the choice today to take action. Before I didn't have any choices.

Hi Em, my name is Leigh , hows it going now ?
I so remeber when I started 'feeling" again, gawd it was painful1
my spons advised me to 'give myself permission to feel whatever it was , for 10 mins, and go with it, then to remember that "this too will pass" LOL dont you hate it ? I used to think if I heard that term once more I would kneecap someone LOL But it's true .
Just dont drink today, do whatever you need to do to achieve that, meeting, phone calls, reading BB, going for a walk is good, i also found, for me, that choccy milkshakes helped , dont know why
take care , and keep sharing

It's the cliches that win out. This too shall pass. Just for today. The serenity prayer. My old Catholic mother said to me thousands of time during my chaotic life "I pray every day that you'll discover the power of prayer". I never once thought she was anything other than a damned fool.
Bugger me though she was right. And she never saw me sober.

well. i didn't drink, not even all weekend. i don't really remember what i did... i met up with my brother on saturday to pass off some pictures n music for a slideshow for my dad's memorial, then went to a detox meeting... then what? i cleaned my car and my house, and i know i ate food, but i can't remember what. walked the dog. hung out with andy. that's it, i guess. then yesterday, i spent the whole day (almost) in bed, sleeping intermittently. one day up, one day down. i can't believe how depressed i've been. oh well. i s'pose i knew it was coming.
anyway, thanks guys. one day at a time, easy does it, this too shall pass. i wish aa had more pirate-y slogans... arrr, grant me the serenity, yarrr...

Take it easy.
If you don't drink, you won't get drunk.
Want some more? LOL
Hon you did well, you did not drink which shows you do have the tools already to get through some tough times, why not grab on to some other tools like calling people in your network..... who knows, they may just need to hear from you to not drink them selfs.
