Great idea for a thread scaredy. Thanks for starting it.

I'm feeling happy, grateful and blessed today. It's 30 days for me and
I never thought I would accomplish it. I didn't want to get too ahead
of myself so I ended up going to two meetings today. Boy, it's been
a tough roller coaster ride so far!

My back still hurts and I'm in a bit of a pissy mood - but I came to work anyway because I'm in recovery and it's about doing the next right thing. No more hiding under the covers!

Felly - I am sorry you are feeling ignored... I get that way sometimes too and I know how awful it feels.

I have a similar feeling today. Feeling like the class reject or something - it always seems to me like I'm saying, typing or doing something that makes me feel stupid. I suppose these feeling's are my insecurities talking.

Once again several emotions at the moment....

Rowan! You did NOT help I called in sick....I'm not....yep discusted with myself but it is a done deal now


Also...exited but a bit overwhelmed from looking at houses on line....

And then a little pssy at my son cause he keeps stomping around...jee might have something to do with the fact that I am not at work and obviously not sick!

I actually really like this...having multipule feelings....I think over the course of a day it makes things easier...but then I am wierd.

Today I guess I am glad to be able to "feel" period.

Not too high..too low..or numb. Used to want oblivion more than anything,

or be so up I couldn't feel. Siting here..letting whatever feelings come up..

is okay today.

I like this thread...it feels good to let it out and I am looking forward to more positive things to say. Right now I am very anxious, cranky, sick to my stomach...not drinking but wanting to...got some withdrawls going I guess. I haven't really been drinking that much, but its been everyday.

I am very down on myself, stressing over everything, and how disappointed I am. I am hoping I feel better tomorrow...can't take much of this cr*p. Today is Day 2 and I guess that's all I can ask for at this point. Thanks for listening (reading) and now I'm done and going on my 3rd walk of the day before I blow!

I had an ok day still. But I am exhausted. And a little cranky.
But nothing too major.

I am feeling rather ill today and hope it's just a one-day thing. Feeling hungry but afraid to eat anything, maybe just some chicken soup or broth. Feeling very antsy about my trip coming up on the 24th. Feeling more than a little antsy as the last time I flew (up there) I had fear of flying for the first time in my life. And the really strange sensation that I will feel crummy for the rest of my life like I'm feeling today. What's up with that??:wtf2

I am living on why they suggest that sober relationships go very slowly. I agree with this approach.

I am frustrated and a little hurt that this woman who has asked to be a part of my life and states she wants to communicate, be honest, seems to be unable to do so. My trust that she would now do these things as a new committment to the relationship is a little dinged since it seems to be a pattern.

There is the chance that she is not well and that is concerning, I am worried a little too.

Its not worth drinking or using over though.

All-in-all my life is pretty good and I am grateful for my recovery, my friends and my health. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly and some money in my pocket. What else could I reasonably ask for at this stage of my life ?

I feel happy tonight. I went to my sister's to help celebrate my nephew's birthday. He turned 2 today, and was wearing red underwear briefs, a dress shirt and vest! He looked like a miniature Tom Cruise in Risky Business! He and the other little ones danced up a storm and ate cake with their fingers.

I got to spend time with my family eating, laughing, and not even thinking of having a drink. What freedom! It wasn't always this way! So many times I came close to relapsing (and did - twice) when spending time with family.

Family and relationships in general are so hard for so many of us.

wow....can't identify my feeling right now...but i do know it's a nice one

I like this thread idea because I think it is hard sometimes for me to identify my feelings a little better than good/bad or happy/sad....hope this will help.

maybe content? :ghug
