Class of July 2013 Part 19
Well done on day 75 and your weight loss, Casey.
I'm pretty fed up with my memory loss. My doctor agrees it's to such a degree that I should not have out patient ECT. My car may be a write off, so I have to begin looking for something. I'm not suicidally depressed like I was before ECT, but I'm really out of sorts. I had someone over to dinner that I don't know well. He brought a bottle of wine. I told him I don't drink, and he said " oh, just a little glass".
When I served dinner he'd poured me a big glass of wine. I told him again I don't drink and he still said something along the lines of " oh, you can manage a little bit". What an idiot, he annoyed me. I don't want to get to know him better. Why can't people be respectful? Thankfully, I didn't feel tempted at any point. Anyway, I'm so worried about my brain now, there's no way I'd poison it with alcohol!

I agree with ladybug Leshar - the guy sounds like a jerk.
I've never had ECT but I have had mini strokes - it took me a while to get back to where I felt normal but I got there...I'm sure it will be the same for you too

Hi everyone 2 weeks for me today ! Ye hah ! Can't believe how tempted I have been this past week . But thank goodness Holly has been here every day.
Leshar , Im so proud of you. You may not have the best memory at the moment , but denying that drink was brilliant on your part.
It would have just destroyed everything.
This guy can take a hike , he is no good for your sobriety , I agree with Ladybug and Dee , he's a jerk! Show him the door.
Hope your headache is better Wolfy xx
Crois I miss you not being around as much xx
Casey im following your success , you are doing so well and really inspiring me to keep going one day at a time. Look where you are now ! Magnificent x
Nikki I loved reading your long post , it's so good to have you back.
Much love to everyone , I'm so proud of all of you who made the 2 year birthday , you should be very pleased with yourselves.
To those of us who didn't , let's keep going forward and supporting each other.
I'm so happy to have the best bunch of friends in Julyers.
Thinking of you Leigh , PP. Humbug , Huntington , Pete , Lulu, and anyone Ibe missed xxx Venus , always a wonderful friend & great support , thanks honey x
Much love always & thanks to you all for helping me get thru this xx

Congrats on 2 weeks, Snoozy! Glad to see you're picking up steam again.
Leshar -- sorry your date was a bomb. Glad you didn't let him pressure you into drinking. Hope the break from ECT does your memory some good. And mostly I'm just glad you checked in.
Hello to everyone else who checked in. Sorry I'm being lazy and not going back to list you all out.
Today was a rough day mentally. I've already talked about this some in the One Year and Under thread so am not going to repeat myself here. But I'll get over it and important thing is I'm still sober tonight.
Wishing you all a best as you start or end your day, depending on your location. Thanks again for keeping me sober one more day.

Congrats on 2 weeks Snoozy! I wasn't going to post for awhile, but it doesn't help me to sit here and not be honest. I am back on Day 3 and really don't want to talk about it. I know where it wrong and I'm going to try and learn from it. Sorry to disappoint you all, yet again. I am disappointed in myself, but will keep fighting until I get this right again.
Ladybug ~ please don't ever think you are disappointing anyone. Everyone here is in your corner, and only wants the best for you. Whatever it takes, we will all help you to find a way to make this stick. I know that's what you want. Just know you are loved honey.
Oh Leshar ~ I know it's not my business, but I would not be inviting that guy over for dinner again in a hurry. Not unless he can respect your choices. Hmmmfff.
I'm sure your memory will continue to get better. Sending you love. ♥
Snooz ~ YEY you!!! I am super proud of you. I know this has not been easy. Onwards girl, you can do this...we all can...one day at a time. That's all we have. That's all that matters.
Love to all in this wonderful group. ♥

Oh thank you so much everyone for all your support! Julyers are great!
Dee, you've been through the mill with medical problems. Thanks for reminding me about your mini strokes. You have rallied with so many problems and you never complain! You are a wonderful example to us all. I will try and be patient.

Glad you changed your mind and are back in here, Ladybug. I hope next time you'll come post in here when those cravings hit. Take some of the power that you're giving those thoughts away.
Of course I need to practice what I preach as I intentionally stayed away yesterday afternoon when I was having the same thoughts. Grateful I didn't actually drink but I came closer than I have in a while. Not coincidentally, my thoughts are much healthier and clearer since I finally did come back in here and post honestly in this and other threads late last night.
