What if when people sober up, they realise they actually hate themselves and feel totally worthless???

Glad everyone is still here, and OK, or okish....

Cut yourself some slack Enfin - you're still in early recovery - everyone's moods go up and down, everyone has regrets and guilt and I daresay a lot of us hate ourselves to some degree....

But it really will get better - the fundamental step right now is to stay sober...when that stabilises, then you can sort through all the debris and paraphernalia of the past, and you'll be far better equipped to do it then.

You're part of the March family - I've no idea why you'd think that you'd been forgotten...it was a pretty fast and furious weekend posting wise, thats all :)

Stay with the gang :)

Thanks for this, Chris. I blame the alignment of the Universe for everyone's weird moods. As good a reason as any.

Full moon eclipse has to count for something, right?

Right?

If you're having daily struggles don't forget about the 24 hour thread a lot of great motivation lot of nice people its just a 24 hour commitment

biminiblue 04-15-2014 06:31 PM

We've been a little quieter today, I guess.

Lots of struggles here in the last week or so. I'm super grateful I've been able to dodge the bullet so far, and I know it is possible to not pick up a drink. If it was possible yesterday, it is possible tomorrow. I'm holding on to that.

No one or no situation is worth my picking up that first drink right now. I'll go to bed sober tonight. Day 42.

Take care, everyone.

Hey there! I feel like I haven't been around in ages. I guess it's been a day. Ha!

Well I'm just tuckered out. I just want a martini. But I'm having this dry sausage and some olives instead. Angrily chewing.

I've been working around the clock. Had a manic override today and went straight into survival mode, planning strategies for changing my life and following new opportunities, and tearful phone calls to my husband telling him I need to change and please say you'll support meeeeee waaaaaaaaaaa!

He's been doing alright. Sometimes I want to kick him out and sometimes I know we're pushing each other to the limit, and sometimes we mesh so perfectly well.... Our status must be determined at a later date because I am barely hanging on here.

My feet are so tired. My brain is so tired.
I've made my to-do list for tomorrow. that means I don't have anything to think about because it's all on paper and there's nothing I have to do right now. I just have to sit here, putter on the internet, not get inspired or worked up by anything, and just slowly fade into sleep

Since I quit drinking I have:
- Been so much more connected to my family
- Read much more
- Taken up new hobbies like flying remote control quadcopters with hd cameras (a lot of fun)!
- Have an overall better appreciation of nature and the "little things" in life
- Played better tennis
- The good list goes on and on...

No, sorry Chris that's not an option at this time.

Good morning all! Day 25 for me!

I heard a quote yesterday I thought I would share:

If you live your life with one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, then all you're doing is pissing on today.

That is to help us remember that all we have is today. What's in the past is done.
What happens tomorrow is out of our control right now.
So let us focus on and enjoy today.

I will not drink today.

toddle118 04-16-2014 04:00 AM

thank you mr f, will it get better? drink and upset dont help toddle, no, angry and tears, and the effect of alcohol and pills makes it worse

enfinthechange 04-16-2014 04:09 AM

Thanks dee for your wisdom,it think what's happening is the low self esteem I had at 17 is resurfacing after the alcohol has worn off, it was always there but blamed on booze, now it must just be me!! There's 20 years of decisions and mistakes to sift though now I suppose, and find a me in here, plus the usual life, jobs, kids, cooking and stuff....
Thanks Mr f for being strong and sharing, and Cali for reminding me everyone has bad days!
Kim's friend, love your quote... So true!!!
Toddle, look up... Its the only way, as yazz once sung to us in a swqueelky voice!!!
Ilya, relationships are weird I think.... Hope u get some progress...
Live and love to u all....
