Leshar, I went to a session yesterday and they were talking about stress, and just generally keeping your mood up etc. please don't go down the path of being obsessive about this rejection, it's one phone call, one day.
Today is a new day. There surely is other social outlets around you if that is what you think you are needing? What other interests do you have, or potentially is now the time to think about a small way you could volunteer? A women's shelter, or something like that? Even a few hours a week to connect with others? I guess that's where I see living in a larger city actually could help as there is more social infrastructure?

Thank you Leigh and Wolfie. Thank you Croissant. Yes, you're right, I am more than a little obsessive by nature. I have another appointment next week with the CBT/Mindfulness doctor, I hope he doesn't cancel yet again. I need to keep up my mood, as you say. I had a shower and washed my hair. I might go to a play on my own this evening, just to get out of the house. Tomorrow, I'm helping a friend clear out her basement, so I'm looking forward to being with her and doing something useful. Thanks again, your insight helps a lot.
Snoozy, dear, please don't drink anymore. Please tell your friends that you don't drink and ask them not to bring booze anymore. Don't they know you went to rehab? Maybe you kept that under your hat.
Ladybug, hang on, drink lots of water, it helps me when I get stressed and thinking about drinking. Thinking of you both.

Get rid of any alcohol left in house; beef up your plan - maybe get a few books on alcoholism and read a chapter or two a day; work some meditation or extra meditation into your day . . .

I agree that volunteering is a great way to help yourself as well as others.

I really don't know what's going on.! I'm miserable at home, I just thought a couple of drinks with the girls would make me feel happy. I know I'm a fool for thinking that way even momentarily. I threw what was left down the sink Wolfy.
I need to do something about my situation. I'm just harbouring resentment , it's building up and up.
I can't stand Shaun living on the play station. I do all the work, the house needs fixing , not that this is an excuse to drink by any means .
I got nothing out of it and didn't feel a buzz. It was s waste of time , a glitch. Not enjoyable at all.
The girls were coming past my way after a 50th that I declined.
Certainly no hangover or anything. Just a foolish mistake.

Have you considered couples counselling Snooz? or counselling by yourself?
You've been unhappy for a long time - I don't think that's all your problem but it's a big part of it....
the other part is - and I know how unpleasant this is...but maybe this alcoholism thing is not something you can solve on your own, or even with SR?
I know you're reluctant to do AA or anything like that, but you keep coming back to the drink as a solution, and I'm worried for you Wendy.
