Good morning all. I seem to be starting a weekly post so here I am for my Monday pledge to sobriety.
I did go back to the doctor's last week and am going to completely wean off all medication for a while to see what my absolute base line symptoms are. I have taken a slight turn for the worse this last couple of days but am sticking with it for now. I also have a potential issue with my contraception of choice (sorry if this offends it is purely meant to highlight my anxiety situation) in that I have a hormone coil fitted so I am changing that too. I want to strip out anything which may affect my anxiety and see how I am. it is a little frightening as I have been on medication for many years but I feel that it is necessary. The doctor said it was a good idea and we may seek specialist advice before I try anything else if indeed I do).
So that is where I am.
I hope everyone is doing well and keeping up the good fight against alcohol or indeed anything affecting your peace. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

💜💜I think your plan sounds very wise.....all the way with the doctor on board and perhaps a specialist: you are taking care of you honey.
sI am so sorry it has been even rougher in the last few days.....sending more love and strength.....here for you every minute beautiful friend. We all are.

In for 24 more at 0731 It's Warmer Daylight Time.
Soon getting the dog off to the vet. I'd rather not ride along. You'd think aides would help getting the dog in.
No drinking nor addictive behavior today.
fixated with food.
Thanks to all SR members.

I hope you are not in as much pain today.
sIt's really hard to have to make that choice when you need the money....I know that life experience only too well.
Sending love and hoping you feel better this morning.

Hello wonderful people! Hope everyone is doing ok. So good to 'see' you Jo. Sounds like a good plan xxx
I'm a bit worried about something. I have to go to a funeral on Wednesday and I'm nervous about going because my mum and sister will be there and I'm not sure if they're speaking to me at the moment. I'm not being flippant, I genuinely can't keep up with how they feel about me. I seem to do things to anger them all the time, even when I have zero communication with them. I'm a naturally optimistic person but even being optimistic, I reckon there's only maybe a 15% chance that they're speaking to me at this present time. I'm so nervous about seeing them that I considered missing the funeral altogether. But now I've been asked by the deceased's daughter if I'll read a prayer at the service which I consider to be a huge honour so of course I will be there. But the fact that I'll get up and read a prayer means the 15% chance of my mum and sister speaking to me can probably be reduced to about 5% because they never seem to like it when I do anything that other people might consider 'good'. That seems to make them think I'm full of myself or showing off. It's very difficult to know how to be around them. They seem to get angry with me if I'm too happy, too confident, too sad, too nervous..... I never know how I should be. I think maybe there was a rule book I was supposed to read as a kid and I guess I never read it. Anyway, I'm nervous about going but my plan is to get there early, sit near the front of the church, read my prayer, pay my respects and then leave at the end of the service. I don't think there's any need for me to stay for the wake. My husband will be at home with the kids so I'll be on my own at the funeral and I know I'll be nervous about seeing them but I know I'm strong enough to handle it and handle whatever reaction I receive. And guess what? A friend phoned earlier to say she has a spare ticket for tomorrow to see Ekhart Tolle at the Royal Albert Hall! Ekhart Tolle is the writer of 'The Power of Now', my favourite ever book. So, hopefully after listening to him speak for 4 hours tomorrow evening, I'll be able to take whatever Wednesday brings in my stride. Let's see..... Be a good test for the power of now, if nothing else. Love to everyone and 24 most definitely for me please xxxx
Oh, and I heard from Tomls earlier! So exciting.... he will be 3 years sober in 16 days!!! Yay xxxxxxx
