Feeling better after eating. I went out and got Bella more food and I’m back home. I took my meds and I’m trying to think of a plan to get myself better. Glad that alcohol isn’t an issue this time. Thank all of you for putting up with me. I’ll get this figured out.

Hello love. 
Well, the counsellors on some of those lines are awesome and will talk to you about a plan. Or perhaps they will refer you to another counselling line for people in recovery....I am sure there are so many good ones.
Hope you get some sunshine today and please give Bella a big cuddle for me. ♥♥

Thank you so much venuscat. You’re so awesome. I appreciate that. I slept for about 10 hours last night and woke up feeling good but you know that feeling when you’ve slept a bit too much. However, I haven’t been sleeping well so I needed it. Another reason to be sober, you can sleep and sleep! Alcohol has come into my mind since all this stress but not strong cravings lately. I’m going to get some breakfast and I will cuddle with sweet Bella. :-)

Hi again Angie and I hope you're feeling better than you were.
Just wanted to say regarding the memory loss, that Venus is right, it is a big symptom of stress, anxiety and depression, plus lack of sleep and I'm speaking from experience here. Honestly your memory will get better as you do.
Take good care of yourself, eat when you can, even if it's only small amounts and keep on with the Bella cuddles. Sending you much love. xx

Thank you Daisybelle. . I spent a few days away at a program getting better and I’m now back feeling so much better and I have coping skills to help me. So grateful for all of you and I’m grateful that I remained sober throughout that period. I think it’s time for life to be enjoyable. It can’t all be sunshine and roses but I hope to have a much better outlook. Thank you all so much for not giving up on me! I promise to write here everyday or most days and start participating in other threads too. I love SR!!

Thank you stargazer and venuscat. . I did get my meds filled, they gave me new meds too and I get Alex later on today and Bella has stuck to my side almost since I got back. She was in good hands with a friend while I was gone but was so happy to see me. Feeling good this morning since I slept 10 hours. Going to clean up a bit and then head out to get groceries before I pick up my sweet Alex. Have a great weekend!!

Good morning Angie, well it's 9.55 a.m here in the U.K. I'm so glad that you are feeling better in yourself, that's a good sign and S.R would never give up on you, or me, or anyone else for that matter.
I hope you have a lovely day with Alex and I'm sure you'll make some happy memories with him. I have a 9 yr old ( just 9 last week) live in g.son ( long story) and I'm picking him up from his daddy later and taking him to a football birthday party for one of his school friends.
Kittens are so lovely and so theraputic, I have one too called Lulu and she's 5 months old, so we have something in common there.
Anyway, have a lovely day and take good care of yourself. xxxxxx

Y’all are too sweet to me!! . I just got back from a meeting at AA! My first one since I got my year chip and I’ll be a year and a half at the end of this month. Or since it’s on the 31st does that mean it’s the first of December? Anyway it was great!! It was open speaker and I talked with that former sponsor lol. It went fine. I might go back to the 5:30. I might get a sponsor soon and finally work those steps. The therapists were very concerned with how much alone time I have and I can start to build friendships hopefully. Kinda nervous but I’m ready. I just hope I don’t revert back to being all anti social. Gotta work on staying positive.

Oh love....more smiles from me....I have been concerned with how much alone time you have had as well....I am SO glad you are looking at that....
And oh yeah....how empowering it must feel to be able to talk to that woman now without being intimidated....what a win girl!!! And yes, a new sponsor sounds like an awesome plan....
I have a huge morning tomorrow.....I am a little afraid...but I will just think of you and I know you will be with me....my SR champions are so very wonderful. xx

Hi again Angie, so glad to read your post, you sound much brighter and more positive and well done you for getting yourself to a meeting and for enjoying it too. I hope you manage to find a caring and motivational( I think that's the right word) sponsor. Wow, a year and a half, I'm just on 7 and half months, you're an inspiration to me.
Take care and look after yourself. xx

I am glad that the meeting went well Angie and that you have overcome the boorish behavior of your ex sponsor. I agree with the others that you need some social interaction, especially when you don't have Alex.
Baby steps...
Have a good day!
