Good afternoon Stone!!!! 
Hello I0 and thank you for the welcome back..3 YEARS!!! CONGRATS, your great!!!!!.. Least I am sorry to hear you are going through the wars again with your kids, welcome back and dont feel guilty about taking a break. I did that for years and to no avail. Life goes by so fast!! Sounds to me like you could do with as many as you can get. I know how it is with the animals. Mine were fine when I got back .....but they get treated very special by me and I worry too. I also have a very small doggy that needs special attention.
Believe...great about the tree, and your great the way you keep applying for jobs and trying so hard on your programme, I hope you have a good day today.
HI Rowan, hows your daughter getting on??.
Stone are you grateful to be sober??

Sorry Stone, didn't mean to hijack your thread. I just feel so beaten down, first by daddy dearest and now by my kids.
I didn't have any anxiety the whole time I was away and now this morning I wake up in an anxiety attack. I"m sick of it all. Sick of feeling insignificant and stupid. Today is my counseling day so at least I can vent for an hour.

Least I'm glad you have your therapist today, its great to vent!!!
Hi Nel, hope you have a good day. Pouring with lightning & lots of loud thunder here. Puppies are going nuts.
I am tired from not sleeping last night. But I am good. Thank God for being able to Let it all Go.
Hi Stoney, be kind to yourself today
You know the saying, Don't drink and go to a meeting...and I know you are going to do both today.
On my way to food shopping in this storm, ugh.

You know the saying, Don't drink and go to a meeting...and I know you are going to do both today.Yes I am doing both, it is hard to get through the insanity of wanting to drink but a relief when I do get through it.
I am worn down with constantly being tired, headaches and depressed, then at some point I want to escape but the escape is actually a million times worse than not escaping..... my illness uses the wanting to escape feeling to suggest to me that I could get away with it this time.....but I can't get away with it.

Hi K it's great to see you!
I'm eating chocolate cake that a friend brought me - leftover from his birthday! It's great!
It's very grey out today - I would love to get that thunderstorm Donna. I love storms.
Glad you're not going to drink and that you have a meeting today Stoney. Keep talking out your feelings, and acknowledge the pain you are in. It's very very hard not to drink when your body and mind are telling you it's what you need. When I did relapse in the past, once that mental 'switch' went off, no one could talk me out of it. It's important, then, to remain vigilant about my recovery every day so that I don't weaken and let my guard down. Meetings, helping others, etc. We all know the drill by now.
Is boredom a trigger for you? It was for me.
