Survived work and did not drink tonight. It was easier though cause my daughter was home. Tomorrow night after work will be a test.
I know I feel better sober since I had that 2 year run. Just can't seem to get it together this time.
Leshar, I have not seen a counselor but am actively searching for one. Congrats on your weight loss!
Ladybug, you are doing so well, I'll just follow your lead.
To all, thank you for your support. It means the world to me.

Good for you, Lulu. Suze is right ... it's just one day at a time for all of us. If we stay away from that first drink we'll be ok. Hugs. We'll be here for you tonight if you need us.
Dee, thank you for the new thread
Rainy, dreary day here. Used to be an excuse to drink, but not today. Love you all xxx

Hi all,
Thanks for the new part Dee. I'm glad our little group is still flourishing!
I'm seeing my psych today. I will have to fess up about reducing my AD. To be honest, I feel much better. Some anxiety but so far, it's manageable. I'm tolerating the very small dose of ketamine, except it disrupts my sleep. I take it every third day. Perhaps that's helping too. I'm getting things done and it's a month to play opening so I'm busy sourcing and making props. Self care is better.
Love to all. I hope Croissant comes back.

My psych was ok with me dropping my med dose. He wants me taper off to stopping it, but to stay on the ketamine.
I called a man last night with whom I had exchanged some messages on a dating site. He had seemed bright and we had similar interests. He had seemed a bit intense, giving me his number and wondering why I hadn't texted him. I blocked my number when calling him yesterday, which he commented on. Anyway, he was very narcissistic, said his marriage had ended because of lack of intimacy, how he loved to give massages, and I told him that was making me uncomfortable. Not sure why, but I did agree to meet him this Saturday. I thought I would just see, but this morning, I have a stomach ache, and I know it's tension over this ridiculous thing. I slept badly too. I messaged him and told him I didn't think our personalities were a match and told him I'd prefer no more communication and wished him well.
I probably should not have agreed to meet, I'm too polite, but at least I'm happy that I'm listening to my body. Formerly, I'd have drunk over such an issue.
Hope all are well.

It sounds like you made the right choice there dearest Leshar. 
And I'm so glad to hear your psych is happy with the meds being tapered off....it all sounds really good love. Big, big positive steps. ♥
Nick and I have had some big bumps to get over, and it has been pretty hard, but we keep managing to surprise ourselves by how strong we both are.

Oh no.....I know how important it is to you to do well on your school stuff, but it's very challenging to do this stuff when you're not feeling well. You did it anyway....that's really admirable. I hope you feel better soon love. ♥
