You don't have to sit alone, Jase. We are with you, arm in arm.
Maybe take some time to think about what that call represented to you that would cause you to feel overwhelmed and feel like gin was needed.
(and I don't mean you have to type it out here unless you want to, but definitely examine the backstory)
Did you feel like the other person had some control over you? (Whether they actually do or you just think they do...it's a thing.)
Do you care (maybe too much) about their approval?
Do you have secrets you've kept in regards to that person or situation?
I find most of my problems are about pride and/or fear. I'm not saying yours are, but that's the bottom line for me.
Stay with us.

Love this post. For one thing it's 'mumsy' - mums always try to feed you up! For another though it's insightful because when I'm drinking I always forget to eat. Partly because food tastes like cardboard to me when I'm drunk. But to answer the q - yes. I forced myself to.

Hey Jase, so glad to see you've dusted yourself off and got back on. I struggled for a very long time trying to get the monkey off my back. I was a fool and didn't join SR or ask for help. I felt that I had to be sober to participate here. I was very wrong and probably wasted alot of good sober time.
On the bus!
Last day of the month! Wah! they are already talking about fall!

No one has power over you unless you give it to them.
On the bus, riding along with all you PhDs. (I read that on SR somewhere PhD = Phormer Drunk)
The news has a story from local hospital leaders saying large gatherings and fairs are a bad idea.
I know people on this thread are already a sensible group but if you're not vaccinated I'd take care of that right away.
Much love to all on this almost-Fall Tuesday.

Speaking of which....I entered a contest ~ Win a flight to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and meet the Foo Fighters....I heard it on the radio today while in traffic....they said text this word to this number and I'm like OKKAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!
I'm not expecting to win, but I can at least try!

I hope you win! I'd like to see them too. I really like them. One of my guitar players in my band turned me on to them and I really like them. Plus all the cool stuff they do.
Good luck, purps! 🤞👍🤟 💗💫
