I keep noticing all the things I can do today that I could not do while I was drinking. When I drank it eventually became like being in solitary confinement in a prison.
I really feel that I am alive again and I am now seeing feeling and experiencing life.
I love being sober and living life as it is. I will not go back to the isolation again.
Have a great day everyone!!

I was just thinking what a fine little prison I had built for myself too Dime. The pills were the bricks and the drink was the mortar. And could very easily be again.
I can't believe something that I thought gave me freedom could have me so trapped!
Nands, I heard something in a meeting from a bloke I really like. He said, I don't have to cope, I just have to not drink. I always think of that when I am feeling overwhelmed.

My "things I have not done" list is longer than my "to do" list - and I don't care!!!!
What will you do nands, when your notice is up. Do you want to change what you do completely, or do the same sort of thing, just in a less stressful position?

i guess at this point i would like to just sit in a back office and post and balance and juggle funds all day...no more heating problems, babysitting other peoples work...just focus and kck arse lol i could even do the complicated grad student payroll stuff...it's just the constant preasure to do it all when i'm interupted every 10 minites that i can't handle.
so..bottom line....not likely to find that..probably will end up with an "entry level postion at 1/4 the pay but at least only 1/2 the stress i have now.
I'm a little afraid i'm gonna end up clerking at a store..but thats ok too...something had to change.
I'll do mcdonalds if i have to..but i don't need to look at that yet..i've got 2 mos to sort this out...i always took great pride in that i would work at mcdonalds if it came to that...its not pride lol (well ok it would hurt a little lol) its that i find food service to be soooooo stressful
but for now i need to redo my resume to down scale it a bit ...
I choose what i'm wearing for chris's art reseption on Friday...that feels nice and he and i spent time together this weekend and thats a nice change...
lots of other stuff sucks..but..i didn't destroy rome in a day lol...lb where are those soldiers you ran off with last year lol lol I didn't get the tat yet...
right now..i have to find my check book so i can make my house payment tomarrow. and i really wanna get a load of dishes done...but i also hope to talk to a friend
LB you are really doing great i wish i could have met you while i was over you would have loved my driving (grin)

I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this thread at the moment as it is 6 am however, I just stopped by to say I'm hungry.
Nands, I took your checkbook and hid it somewhere. You'll never find it now.
Why are you awake at 4 am looking for a checkbook anyways??

Nands, you know I kind of disappeared for a while having a little relapse of my own? Well, I missed why you started drinking again. It wasn't coming to England was it 
I know living over here makes us all want to drink!
Pixy has run off with nands cheque book to play with roman soldiers!

I am up in the middle of the night because one of my cats is in and out of the litterbox every few minutes. I had this problem last year and thought we had it fixed with diet and medicine, but now I'm going to have to take her in again. Just went to the 24-hour store to pick up some containers that I will use for a urine sample. Isn't my life fascinating???
