Sincere sympathy, PJ. So sorry you have had several losses in such a short time.

So sorry PJ!

Sadness touches me today..3 relatives (all very old) died in 3 weeks. Such events would give me, in my alcoholic brain, permission to drink to blackout. Grief, sober, is about the deceased. Feeling sad, but mindfully grateful for the life I have, given my own brush with death.

I hope the weekend will bring you some gentle peace PJ.

Well done with the “mindful crap” PJ….sorry you’ve been feeling down….hopefully Roxy’s being there helps a little. :puppy: :hug:

My prayers are with you PJ.

Deep sympathies to you, PJ. I hope your days are getting better since posting. Grief can be hard to let go of, and there's no real appropriate timeline for letting it go - it's up to you and your situation. You will be okay, I am sure of that.

Things going mostly okay here - still some bouts of anxiety from time-to-time but the sun is shining and I am up and moving.

Be good ....

I went to first meeting in a while today...these were about 14 in family count from grans down. I'm OK, feeling a little 'hollow'. Grief don't happen like in textbooks. Just feeling flat. Dog/walking good. Losing a heap of weight too.

Just checking in….weather is gonna start getting crappy in a little while….doing a last bit of laundry before we lose power….location of Ian’s landfall still uncertain, but now they’ve got us right in the middle of that damn cone!

In the past this is when I would start the “hurricane party” …. Ahhh the good ole days https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...smilies/09.gif https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...milies/lol.gif

Be well everyone! :a194:

Bon courage.

I hope you have a fraidy place Purp!!!

PhoenixJ 09-28-2022 01:13 AM

Stay safe, purp. My post didn't eaths...from very traumatic to old age. My overthinking mind reminds me when I died/revived x 3 in 2015, my ex refused to be NOK to give permission for life saving surgery to be performed...and I was alone. Stupid brain.
I share a lot of this stuff with dog. She is very understanding and rarely interupts..probably because she hasn't got lips.

PhoenixJ 09-28-2022 01:15 AM

oops...I was referring to family deaths- 14 last count.

venuscat 09-28-2022 06:05 AM

Purps is safe at her dad's house. xx

ManInTheArena 09-28-2022 10:09 PM

Purps, glad you are safe at your Dad's house and I hope your personal residence makes out okay. We have lots of friends and family in that Naples - Sarasota corridor. That storm is a beast, very concerned for everyone in Florida.

PhoenixJ 09-28-2022 10:25 PM

Ghosts of boozy past haunting me today.....leading with my bro, 3y older, same b/day. We took him off life support, liver failure from booze about 40yo. Years ago, but seems much more recent.
