Hey all, got through the day 
Home and doing dinner now. Sometimes I like the simple things in life.
Alley, I promise to do an hour of clearing the loft each night until it's done! You do the same with the room you want to decorate! deal?

decompressing after therapy .... won't be expected at work till noon...
I feel so hopeful...like i'm moving in the right direction...tons of stuff that is better than ever, but when i wack out right now it's pretty major..
I've been through this before so i believe in the process and that i'm on track..but..it isn't always easy for me or the people around me (hug)
In AA they talk about the 4th and 9th steps...inventorying yourself, making amends to those we harmed.....for me therapy is a part of this.
I feel like i went through the course on "childhood issues 101" 20 years ago and got an A+ but now i'm doing "advance childhood issues"
lol ... i know here on this thread no one will jump me on that...i'm not ignoring my alchoholism or avoiding my own responsibility..but the biggest responsiblity i have and the biggest amends i can make and the biggest understaning of my part...lies in what I am doing now with my therapist..who is also an alcoholism councelor, but has a much broader based back ground
step one...i cannot use alchohol like "normal people" the search for the ease and comfort normal people find in a drink doesn't work for me...it took me 2 months after the start of my try at a drink to relax and open up to get sober again...that i don't think..happens to "normal drinkers" so it isn't an option...I am an alchoholic not doubt at all.
step two...get to what is driving you crazy and work on it...it won't go away..look at it head on and deal with it without the drink
thats where i'm at today...sorry to be so serious cause i also believe our since of humor and our going beyond glum and doom is part of why this particular thread has helped me....a serious illness we have to deal with but with some relief via humor at ourselves and old fashion caring and loving..
eeeks
i am so out of here lol you guys might actually be paying attention to my posts lol (hug)

Hey all,
Maybe doing a little better with the cat situation? Yesterday's meds went pretty well. I've been contacting a lot of vet techs to get advice/see if they think they can help me. Mostly I just need the moral support! This sucks.
Kitty seems to be doing better though.
Stayed home from work today because I'm still not sleeping or eating very much, and I'm just worn out. I have to get over that or it's going to be a long 21 days!

Nands I can't wait to see the pictures!
Today I talked to about a million vet techs who I solicited through the internet for advice and moral support. I seem to be doing everything possible, which makes me feel better. The meds went well today mixed in with some tuna, my vet told me to increase the dose slightly in case she doesn't lick it all up so that makes me feel better too.
Still a bit stressed and sad though.
