Hello everyone,
Sprung from the ward for an hour this afternoon, so checking in! It's a beautiful, sunny, fall day. I had a mocha coffee and sat outside with my face in the sun. It felt good. I'm in the library now.
SL, Caroline Knapp, in "Drinking, a love story" says: "Less drama, more laundry"!
I'm going to have to remember this when I go home because a mountain of laundry awaits me. I'm just glad that I don't have to go to the laundromat like I used to in the old days, cleaning out icky machines before I would use them!
My outpatient psychiatrist came to see me today which I really appreciated. He's given me an appt for Monday, so I hope to go home on the weekend. I'm nervous, but I'll check in here. I'm really tired and the new meds are dropping my blood pressure, I almost fainted yesterday. I hope I get acclimatized to them.
I don't think I will go back to AA, I feel very torn, but I think I've given it a good try. I know I'm mixed up about being sober and this journey, but AA principles just don't jive with me.
I want to set a goal to sell my house. I feel it's like a prison to me. I just have to get over the fear of change.
Hope all are doing ok. I'm so thankful for all your support. You accept me and my mental illness. I'm basically a good person with illnesses. We are all good people here. We're battling a serious addiction, we rock!!

I've often thought Women for Sobriety would be a good fit for you Leshar.

Hey Leshar, I loved your post and I hope the new meds settle down soon because you sound much more optimistic!
Mental Illness is something a lot of people will have at one point or another in their life. I know I have, many many years ago. But you are still searching for an answer, that is a good thing.
I wish you peace and I hope the goal to sell the house becomes a reality and gives you hope for a new life.
Hi Dee. I know for sure Leshar has because we discussed it in this thread a bit about a year ago when I was journalling a lot. I loved the WFS principles, and helping to meditate on one of their tenets each day helped me a lot. From memory, I think Leshar liked then too.
Sorry Leshar, not meaning to speak for you, but know you mentioned some problems with memory and I know we both liked the Women for Sobriety approach.
