Hey All-This is where I usually screw up- trying to do something different this time. Heres the story- 1. My parents presents for my kids haven't arrived yet and I'm freaking out over it...totally co-dependent, catastrophizing about a barren Christmas...even though theres still time for the package to show up...totally anxious. Old behavior....drink. 2. Just feeling real antsy and craving like a m***********. Old behavior...drink. I'm drinking a lot of water, doing a lot of positive self-talk ( or trying to anyway) trying to remember that ER table and just how close a call last weekend was. Trying to be grateful for the things that didn't happen . Cool moment today...my son walking up to me in front of his school and simply saying "hi Dad"...I just looked up and said thank you for this moment...I want more of that. BTW...never thought sharing about chinese food could help somebody...go figure. Just anxious and over-thinking...guess thats what I meant by endure...pacing a lot. Anyway...thanks for letting me have my little time here.

Those moments with my daughter that you experienced with your son help me to stay sober. Thanks for sharing, (((Rob)))

Hang in there Rob, times like what you are going through right now are where meetings paid of in spades for me, what a difference it made being able to talk one on one, face to face with folks who had been through what I was going through, and even when there was not a meeting going on to just pick up the phone and talk to someone.

Keep reaching out Rob, we will keep reaching back, just keep in mind that this will pass.

Hold on Rob, it will get better. You and I have a lot in common as far as our thinking patterns that need to be changed. Trust me, the longer you are sober, the easier it becomes. Jomey
