Class of September 2014 part 3
Thanks for the welcomes!
My brain feels like a rusted old engine. I'm trying really hard to take it very easy today. I'll probably go pick up my laundry, and go to the store for a few things like ice cream (if I know just one thing, it's how important ice cream was to me when sobering up last year).
I'm gearing up for 11 days straight of work soon so I'm thinking this laziness could be a good thing right now

I think we crossed paths last summer!....Actually I'm certain. I have a memory like an elephant....It's getting better as I get older too.....that can't be good...lol
Maybe in September.....well, good to see you!
It's good to see you too, Neverthought. I was pretty active on SR in spurts... My recovery was in spurts too. I must admit I was a little bashful about coming back... I became really hopeless and frustrated. I let life bury me, and booze.
I just left for the store and realized I look like kind of a hobo! Ha! I guess I have some loose ends to tie up. It'll be a quick trip, then back to the cave of my house

I was in Sept 2013 until November....stopped by in December. Joined the Feb class until somewhere around April....then hid with a few stops in between...until I joined the September class...
I'm right there with ya!!
I filled a big pint glass with lemon slices, sliced strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and a mint sprig. Then I filled the whole thing with soda water, and smashed everything with a big spoon. I've been refilling that all afternoon.
Oh, I also craved Claussen pickle juice. Drank a small cup of it slowly. Odd. But hey, whatever replacements work!

Thanks Dee!
Welcome Plenny and everyone joining in... Let's keep it rolling!
Love the berry water (and those hotels that's provide it in lobby). Cucumber, mint, and lemon, is good!
Hope everyone had a great last day of September! Stay strong..

Had a very good day today but now am plagued by anxiety so thought I would post again. I got a lot done and was peaceful until evening. I finally had the courage to read my evaluations from last term. I was SO NERVOUS that someone would mention that I smelled like alcohol during work hours (as I was told by my husband). I would drink so much at night that I would reek of it even without drinking during the day. I've always drank a lot, but I was out of control on a daily basis. This was also partly due to my mother's illness and death--my way of coping. And due to being an alcoholic and having no other coping skills.
They were way better than I expected, and no one mentioned the smell.
Can't figure out why I can't calm down now. Just made some chamomile tea. I don't feel like drinking, which is a blessing, even though my husband left his whiskey here.
Sorry for the ramble. I just needed to tell someone. In general, I feel very weird most of the time because I'm not used to being sober. Sometimes that's great and even leads to feelings of calm (as today), but sometimes I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin.
Reading your posts helps!

Anxiety suddenly hitting can be a real annoyance. Finding a distraction usually helps me-- especially if it's absorbing but mindless. Candy crush? Scrabble? Or, my distraction of choice, Doctor Who legacy? Or something else. Hang in there, safeandsound, the feeling WILL pass.
