Unhappy Scared...........

Went back to the doctor today for more tests.

I get my results next Friday.

Please send good thoughts and prayers.

I'm so scared! And I hate waiting for the results. :praying

I was honest with them about my alcohol addiction.

And they were very good to me and they congratulated me on my sobriety and my decision to change.

I know...the waiting is the absolute pits! But, I was often reminded that, "Fear is the absence of faith." As difficult as it may be, try to think positive...try to do whatever it takes to avoid negative thoughts. I'm reminded of a catchy old song by Bing Crosby:

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark)

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between.

Thanks everyone!:ghug

I'll try to think positive! It will take a conscientious effort on my part to stay alert to my mind when those negative thoughts start creeping in.

I am not sure what is up, but I have been there, I know others who have waited days for serious tests. It really sucks! I am so sorry if this is very serious. It is literally hell waiting for test results. I promise to pray for you.

I just got in from the doctor. All test results are normal. Again. So I have been tested for pretty much everything and it's all normal.

Now I know that my fatigue isn't caused by some health issue.

It's early recovery.

I just have to be patient and wait to feel better.

Hope - I'm glad all your test results turned out fine.

I know what you mean about the fatigue. Maybe some
of it is brought on by the stress of meeting the world each
day stone cold sober. Even with starting my vitamin regiment,
I'm exhausted by evening. The sense of accomplishment for
staying sober one more day overshadows the tiredness though.
So I guess we need to just hang on and the energy will come.

Mtn, I really like what you said! I have to remember that! We are going to hang in there! And we will feel better.

Being sober does make it all worthwhile.
