Hi guys! Made it through my work meeting this week, I'm just so sore. I don't wear heels as I'm on my feet usually and extra tall anyway but decided to, thinking I would be sitting all day. Oh no, we had to run around the hotel doing a goofy competition and my legs and feet are killing me. My team won though, couldn't have done that with a hangover!
Kitty, hope you are having fun at the beach. !
Patricia, hope the new counselor is of help.
Bekins, you are doing so great with the exercise!

Yeah I hope she can help you too Patricia. Until then I hope you are working on your sobriety plan, doing breathing exercises and getting a few walks in although it is a crappy time of year for walks.

I don't know what to do when I have this massive impulses. My anxiety reaches and unbearable high and all I can think of is to have a drink to calm me down. It's like I go blind and all my determination vanishes, it's just pure panic and anxiety.

The way you have gone after this problem Patricia, it's just a matter of time before you find something that works.
It's a bummer that you haven't found any meds that work but there has GOT to be something. Acupuncture? Diet? Hardcore exercise? Could you try maybe a quarter dose of some type of anxiety med? I'm just throwing out ideas that are probably crap but might grease the wheels of thought.
I had an okay day although we took my Mom out of the facility where she lives to go to mass and then had her spend the day with us. Consequently she refused to go back to the Memory Center. Dad is so mad at her, he is making her sleep on the couch. It is kind of funny to watch my 80 year old father using masculine wiles to get his wife to comply. I'm sad/happy/touched that she wants so badly to be with us.

When you find that they will pass, and they pass without you drinking, it'll make things a lot easier Patricia?

Patricia, I am so sorry to hear you are struggling. I really hope you can gather enough strength to get through a sober week or two and get out of the vicious circle you seem to be stuck in. I'm thinking of you and sending lots of positive energy your way!
