Today I actually got a couple of tasks dealt with but nothing like the normal speed I go at . I keep getting sidetracked with news websites and other stuff that is really immaterial.
What is the matter with me? I catch myself just staring out of the window blankly?

Supposed to go to a social engagement tomorrow night where some of the people will be drinking,...wrestling with that. Y'all have a great sober day please.

In fact to ALL here, if you think any of my posts offensive, it really is meant to be humourous.
I adore you all.

Im on the haribos too cara lol, that and candy crush saga! Well done everyone for not giving in to that AV...
I dont know if its just me, but when I get a surge of happiness my mind immediately turns to drink, like its hardwired the two, cant be happy without the other, is weird, always had it. Hope it goes soon.

Proof that the AV is a liar!
The AV will try to convince you to drink under contradictory situations all the time, for example:
You are feeling great, therefore you deserve a drink.
You are feeling terrible, therefore you deserve a drink.
You have been so good therefore you deserve a drink.
You have been so bad therefore a drink will make you feel better.
Blah blah blah, you should drink.
Opposite of blah blah blah, you should drink.
I call BS on you AV !!!!! You are completely contradictory. Go back in your cage I am your master!!!

I totally share the happiness trigger too Toddle but then again there were very few emotions that didn't trigger me to drink in the end!

Same deal IRL, though I haven't explained it to anyone in detail. Ah well. Just wanted to say hi.
Hope everyone's doing well.

You should just jump in and post. I struggle with the brain fog thing everyday. It's getting better, so I'm hopeful.
I really appreciated that you had started that thread on your taper. I wanted to give you a big hug everyday. You struggled but made it through to the other side. I'm so glad you're here!

Welcome anyway
Welcome anyway
Plan moving forward is continue therapy and I'm trying an AA meeting tonight, and going to see a psychiatrist for a second opinion on the Lexapro I am prescribed.
