My favorite place to be! 
I survived today! I had a little mental breakdown and cried a bit to a coworker over the phone on a break and of course beat myself up about it immediately afterwards because I seemed "weak" in my mind.
Then, I ran into another friend (12-stepper) and made fun of myself and my crying antics....She said, "nothing to laugh about.... you showed her you are human". That made me look at it all in a different light.
Even though in the long haul I got everything done to the best of my ability I am allowed to be HUMAN!
I mean there is one thing with constantly complaining (which I try to avoid) and a whole other thing in crying out because you need help and have more on your plate than you can handle.
What's wrong in really letting a friend know you are having a hard time and that your work has presented you with more than you can handle (or at least you think you can handle).
I learned I need to do the best I can and that is all I can do. I learned I need to ask for help when I need it. I learned I have a right to speak my mind. I have a right to say time out when I am being asked to do close to more than I can mentally handle. I learned I need to learn how to handle stress. I learned I am normal and I am totally allowed to feel this way and let it out if I need to!
The best part really about everything, I think, is the fact that turning to a drink has not crossed my mind once. That's victory in itself!
To grow requires growing pain BUT then moments like this one DO follow if you keep your priorities straight.
I turned on the TV tonight and the channel I turned to was a Christian one and guess what the sermon was about? "Finding opportunity in chaos" Coincidence? I think not.
Oh. and like Dee said...I learned it is OK to vent here on SR where my real friends are who understand and CARE. Plus, you guys can't tell if I am crying or not haha kidding..no tears here!
24 more hours of growth 7pm!
Hugs and love all around!

24 please. 01.16 UK time and the wind is just dying off here, I know there's at least a few slates off the roof after this evening, and a few fence panels have been blown over too but will survey the damage properly in the morning...

Hi,
Just checking in for the next 24 hours of my recovery. This wouldn't be my life today without my HP, AA, & each of you here on SR.
After turning 3 this last week , I am experiencing a new WOW.! Each 24 hours before was just consumed by my thoughts on drinking, buying it, and consuming 2 bottles per 24 hour period.
I am amazed and humbled how that all stopped on November 12, 2012. I just know it wasn't this body that came up with that Miracle Anyway...just thinking out loud. Reading your post Altoids just reawakened the many Miracles that have happened in my life, and the ones that I've witnessed here on SR these last few years.
