Hey everyone Just checking in on the afternoon on day two. I don't know what to say after reading through today's posts except that I feel angry and helpless. Two very powerful triggers for me. |

Just stopped and got a Chocolate Covered Banana iced tea and had to walk past the liquor store to do so....I just kept telling myself "you are worth more than this" - and so far so good!! Quite a bit of evening ahead of me still but I feel like I will be here posting a million times. I do want to express something that might be completely inappropriate and may be deleted later by the moderators but here goes.... I am so fu$&ing angry! We are all holding on by threads, living moment by moment....begging our higher power for the strength to get through just today....telling ourselves you don't need to drink to forget your screwed up past - you are strong and you have this great, safe, supportive community to stand beside you. Well WTF! I am not a therapist or a psychiatrist or a mental health professional in any capacity. This is selfish and hurtful and leaves us here feeling vulnerable and helpless and on the verge of doing the one thing we are here to avoid doing. Just WTF! Sorry - totally out of character for me but it's that or a glass of wine. |
Kiki - I will answer your questions when I am home. This posting on a phone really sucks |
I agree Sam!!! DO NOT DRINK! DO NOT LET SOMEONE ELSE'S CRAZINESS EFFECT YOU!!! YOU ARE STRONG! YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU ARE WORTH IT! YOU ARE LOVED! YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD! YOUR LIFE HAS PURPOSE! YOU DIDN'T GO THROUGH ALL THE PAIN YOU WENT THROUGH IN YOUR PAST FOR NO REASON! GOD WANTS YOU TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT! HELP SOMEONE. HE WANTS US BOTH TO DO THAT! YOU ROCK! I LOVE YOU! :grouphug: |
I get what everyone is saying and where they are coming from but I don't know that piling on is the right thing either. (And this is not aimed at any one person or post so please no one take offense.) I hope Fabela is getting the help she needs right this moment. She is in my prayers. And I hope that everyone else here remembers that a drink is not the answer to any of our life's problems. It is part of the problem, not the solution. Going to go do laundry now. Wishing everyone a safe and sober afternoon/evening/Australian morning. |
