Good luck Mr. F with the therapist. Sorry you are in a down spot. Just remember that drinking will just make the darkest days darker in the long run. Petals, not sure what to say about the man-period thing. I'm sure my wife would agree, whole hartedly, that my mood swings are worse than hers most of the time. Hope everyone is doing good today! Stay strong Julyers. |

Petals maybe that's what's been wrong with me the last few days I'm on my man period so bring me my ice cream turn on my TV shows and shut the hell up :-) |
Best wishes mr F :) D |
Made it to a month sober today. It hasn't been easy (and I had a few close calls), but just taking it one day at a time. |
Nice job, NewDay. That is awesome!!! Congrats! |

Time for coffffeeeeeee.xx when Bernie and I had the huge fight and I hit my head aka the end of my miserable drinking days ( hitting my head actually knocked some sense into me not out of me :-)) he was being horrible saying how I used to make an effort to be sexy...well yeah its called love & if I have to wear make up to bed so I look "sexy" sorry but aint sticking around!... I turned around after it hurt me and said " you want to tell me I don't try anymore well you need to check yourself, loose the beer gut ur about to pop, have a shave and brush your teeth!" ever since I stuck up for myself he actually realised being mean got him nowhere and he thought about the hurtful things he said & hasn't said mean things since. I can tell he was hurt by what I said cause he is eating less and shaving more lol... that probably doesn't make sense I ramble so much x Lumpy double digits wohoooooooo!!! I saw the light last night, realised after I weighed myself at the gym ive lost 8 kgs since march without bulimia and that's with eating what I want and feel like and 1 day a weeks excersize! this is an amazing breakthrough to anyone with bad eating habits as it proves if we binge, purge or simply put on some weight we can loose it! ok now my update:-:react been feeling down, just realised last night I forgot to take my anti depressants for 2 days. The things im mostly down about are money and my dog. Buster is going back to the vets Friday as I was a nervous wreck last night as his leg is 3x worse. I feel so helpless as i don't know what he is feeling or how to make him feel better, money is stressfull but no amount of money could put a price on my boy! ive figured im also sad cause mums down but im spending tomorrow with her so she can vent all she wants and feel better and ill feel better for helping her. Stressing about $ where as when i look at it realistically everything will be ok & back to normal within the month. nervous about finishing my book as i feel i need constant reinforcement that i don't need to drink to have fun. and when i wrote this in my diary i realised what im lacking right now is fun. im only filled with doom and gloom over things that will be fine and the fact that its confirmed IVE GOT THE FLU but what i actually need is to do something happy & fun and ill feel better. I can also say that if i had of drank cause ive been feeling down everything would have catapulted so im glad to go through these emotions sober. Hope everyones ok sorry for my rant luv u all |
Great job newday on one montth! Keep up the good work! Kahlia, so sorry to hear you are having a rough time too. Our pets are part of the family. When they hurt we all feel their pain. I sincerely hope the vet can help Buster out and you get some quality time with your mom. Hope you feel better soon. Hope everyone else is having a good night. Sleep well juliers. |
Hello everyone, I enjoyed catching up and reading everyone's posts. :) HeadLump, well done on getting to double digits, yay! kahlia, sorry to hear you're feeling down and not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon on both counts. I also hope everything gets sorted with Buster. ANewDay, very well done on one month, yay! I'm almost there myself at 29 days today. Mr Fixit, hope the visit to the therapist goes / went well. Oh well, I'm just off to have some breakfast. :) Hello to my other fellow Juliers! :ring |
Good morning. We are up early here bc we are heading into the city to take our daughter to the airport. She is actually already IN the city with friends and my car. . . so we will meet here there and have a good-bye breakfast. Empty nest is what sent me into an alcohol spin and every time we are with one or both the kids (actually we have 3 now that our son is married) and it is over, it puts me into a bad funk which have lead to relapses eventually. I have a plan for the next several days and a DRs appt tmr. BUT I may been needing my SR cheering section, too. Pray for me. |
Altoids we have faith in you. It's all just conditioning and us being brainwashed to the fact alcohol helps. It doesn't and will make you more upset stay strong xxx |
Legs eleven for Lumpy today! Yay!!! I was a bit shaky yesterday but I told the AV where to go :vd and he's being quieter for now! Kahlia, I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I hope Buster bounces back soon, too :hug: Altoids, love and prayers winging their way to you right now! :hug: Whole and Newday, you're doing fab! :bigok: Fixy, hope your appointment goes well:hug: How you doing, Midnight? Hopefully, you're in double digits now. Hello to Eyes and petals and anyone else I've missed. Happy Wednesday, peeps xxx |
Hi all... Stay strong Altoids, we are here for you. Good morning and hope all is well with everyone today! |
I guess I'm not crazy they did not chase me around with butterfly nets or lock me in a rubber room. I think the appointment with the therapist went quite well she kept smiling I guess she figured out as crazy as I am she might be able to buy a new house or go on that exotic vacation she's been dreaming of.
