3 weeks today for me! Thank you all for your stories and experiences. It's good to be here with you.
I'm trying to throw myself into some much needed home projects when not working. It helps to keep my sober mind focused on something besides drinking. I was planning on painting some laminate cabinets. I found the ideal paint, however, it's in Australia. Why can't the US companies just call the paint "Laminate Paint" or "Laminate Primer" like the Aussie's do? It would make things much easier. Instead, you've gotta wade through the ingredients.
I guess I'm thankful I'm paint shopping instead of figuring out where to buy my next bottles of wine. I'm in for another 24!

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

For over fifty years I played a leading role in that world pantomime The Drinking Game. So many curtain falls and staggering ovations.
Actually it turned out to be one great flop.
Another 24.....just for today.

24 more for this old alcoholic soul.
Thought for the Day
In A.A. we forget about the future. We know from experience that as time goes on, the future takes care of itself. Everything works out well, as long as we stay sober. All we need to think about is today. When we get up in the morning and see the sun shining in the window, we thank God that He has given us another day to enjoy because we're sober, a day in which we may have a chance to help somebody. Do I know that this day is all I have and that with God's help I can stay sober today?

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

It is okay (in fact, perfect) to let it all out here, dear one. Let it out; then let it go; rinse it away. Doing so makes room for the self-respect, self-esteem, pride and goodness that comes with recovery.
