I wouldn't like to try that idea with alcohol because I might be tempted with moderation. Sounds like a swear word to me! I suspect that if I were to give up caffeine I'd have to make that 'zero tolerance' too. It's just the way my mind works.

Luv ya :a194:

A swear word for me, too. ;)

This has been a really, really hard day. I went to the shop and ended up buying non-alcoholic beer. It was the best I could do.

I know something important is happening to me but it's incredibly painful. I'm really started to understand how low my self-esteem/worth is. I knew before but now I KNOW. It's interwoven into the fabric of my thinking.

I thought I was alright as I don't call myself names, I know I'm good at my job and a good wife. But these are concious thoughts. It's the unconcious beliefs, the terror at making mistakes and being rejected. I had two amazing days then was flooded with it. It's taken my breath away and I feel devasted for myself. But I know I need to feel it. Not numb it.

I'm sorry for all this and not even being able to respond to anyone just now. I needed to get it out. I came really close to losing it today. Gabe xx

Start my new job tomorrow. During the last year of my drinking I developed a panic disorder due to performance anxiety at work that occasionally has crept up when sober. This job will be much more laid back and I won't have my hands in people's abdomens. I hope the panic stays away.

24 more please 10:49am EST

Good luck with your new job!!

venuscat 03-21-2018 11:57 AM

Love, no need to be sorry....at all. :hug:

And oh sweetheart.....if only I could make you believe that this is so so so so normal....that as thinking caring sensitive FEELING people who numbed the pain, yes, it floods out....it comes rushing at us so fast and so hard that it is too much.

When I was first sober, for months I mean.....I cried at the perfection of the sun on the road....a bloody mirage would set me off. It was so so beautiful.

And I couldn't watch sad ads, sad TV AT ALL for like a year....I was always flooded with emotions that were way too big for me.

It settled. Some.
Now I am just overjoyed like a child most of the time. :)
Sometimes overwhelmed with sadness at events in the world....but better. Much better.

It gets better. It gets easier honey. :hug: ♥
