My point is stop thinking of yourself as always wrong. You can't choose people's opinions, but you can choose whether or not you accept them.
I'm obviously going through this myself right now. The problems in my life were not all my own fault. I'm learning to let people have their opinions without having to make them my own.
People just suck sometimes.

Hi Donna, no Doc today. I have a blood test on Thursday though. today I have to sign for my pittance from the Government.
I feel pretty crappy actually, if I could get away with drinking I would drink, but I can't get away with it.
Least, I hope you feel a bit better today.

What are you talking about "If you could drink and get away with it" Stoney, what kind of sh*t is that. I know you're not feeling well with body things, but I know I caused so much stuff to go wrong due to my drinking and drugging. I don't know if your health issues are due to your drinking, but having a drink will not make them go away. I heard at my meeting last night about a drinker who did not have a real low bottom decided to drink again and she tripped and fell down a flight of stairs and she is still alive but she has mashed brains. Is that what you want to happen to you? I don't want anything to happen to you, we are going to grow old together in this program and sober!!

Stone is here I see so I'll let him explain the pittance.
Least please don't let yourself get all tangled up in stuff with your kids, dad, etc. I learned from a wise man to not strike when the fire is hot. In other words give myself time to calm down, when I am not all emotional, before responding to or communicating with someone.
My sponsee is fine I saw her last night. It was a good meeting.
Stone! Get the idea of drinking out of your head and stomp on it! Enough! Call your sponsor, okay. Even if you don't know what to say, call him. This time, you are going to do things differently, remember? Not just when it's easy, but when it's hard. This is a crucial time so be careful.
Donna - sorry to hear about your sponsor's Dad. At least he's not hurt. Man.
Gotta go soon - carpooling today. Have a great day everyone.

I didn't say it was a good idea. It is just how I feel. I wont drink today though.
I feel bad and drinking will just make it worse, I know that....my alcoholic mind is trying to convince me I can drink like a normal person again...yes that is insane but it always does this. It is the core of my problem. I am sick of feeling like crap so my mind starts trying to play tricks on me.
I won't drink today, that is the best I can do right now. I have a meeting I am going to tonight as well.
The Govt pittance is my unemployment benefit, I have to sign for it every two weeks, I have to leave soon to do that.

Oh, yeah I collect unemployment too, this is my last week I think.
This disease is very cunning, baffling & powerful. Yeah it wants you to think you could drink like a normal person, well you tried that many times already, and you know you couldn't drink normal so get the thought out of your head.
