Class of July 2013 Pt 11
One thing I have noticed since I've stopped drinking.
I seem to be more apt at being quiet,not saying something,or typing something,only to delete it. Where as when I was drinking I was VERY outspoken and crude sometimes.
That ole saying " it's better to be quiet and let people think you're a fool then to open your mouth,and remove all doubt".
Anybody else find they've mellowed out?

I agree with you Bob. I wasn't so much outspoken, but I'd chatter nervously about rubbish, just to fill silences. Part of my social anxiety. Now I find I have more confidence to just be quiet. Also, I notice I really listen and hear what ppl are saying, instead of not paying attention because of all that useless inner chatter going on!
I will admit i have fired off a drunken, ill thought message or two on Facebook.
I've have no use for FB now, I'm so glad i deleted my account.

I'm sitting in a cafe, and trying not to worry myself about the cleaning service and what may ensue. Two very young girls showed up, 45 mins late and one of them stunk of cigarettes. They didnt have a steam cleaner with them and I contracted for steaming of my carpets. The boss hadn't told them. Phone call to boss, she will come later with steam cleaner, so it will a late evening. I don't like leaving my poor bird in the basement alone, he never goes there. I've covered him up to minimize his anxiety.
Ah, they do say its hard to find good help these days!
A wake up call perhaps, that I need to get off me arse and keep up the place myself!!

Oh Bob ! I can so identify with this.
I've never been one for standing up for myself but alcohol gave me Dutch courage. I remember waking and cringing at the thought of reading my Facebook or my mobile phone messages.
I spent the next morning delete , delete , delete and more deleting !
Things would come back to me during the day.
Oh geez I'm so glad those days are gone .
Leshar, one day , when you are ready , you will start feeling motivated to clean and keep on top of things again.
It's only JUST happened to me nearing 10 months , when Shaun was away.
This getting sober thing is no easy task ....it takes time and patience and a good year at least i would say .
Thank god it's behind me ..i will NEVER do a day 1 again ...NEVER .
Crois , your flower is magnifique , thank you sweetie
Thanks for all the congrats guys
I'm still getting stronger every day . Sobriety is freedom.
Oh yes it's made me feel so much guilt and torment ....it's over now , I'm not a bad person , i had a disease . I've been in remission and now i am cured .
If getting thru that horror was needed to make me appreciate what I have , then yes it was worth it . I'm just seeing that now.
To think i just wanted to die cos i was soooo , so sick 10 months ago .
I cannot believe i had these thoughts and feel sad for those who were once where i was , who didn't make it .Those who died , sick and in the depths of despair .
When there was help all along .
I could have been that person . I have so much to live for now and I'm so grateful .
Thank you to SR and you , my dear friends , i could NEVER have done this alone.
I am so truly grateful . Xxxx
Love you all xx
.....only a few more days til that scan hun ...xxx how exciting
Xxx
Yay Snoozy!! 10 months is awesome
Have had a busy few days and feeling exhausted. By 3 or 4 in the afternoons I am absolutely useless. I guess that's a good sign, but I think it's hard for my daughter to understand why her mommy is all of a sudden napping on the couch. Reminds me of my hungover days, but without all of the guilt. This is a million times better.
Leshar, hope you were pleased with your cleaning service in the end.
Hi Bob, Croissant, Dee, Lulu and anyone else I missed.
