Have a safe trip Beezy!!
I'm sitting here trying to stay out of the darned kitchen...For someone trying to lose weight, I sure am eating a lot. Crikey!! Yesterday I ate my face off. Today, I'm already eating my face off again. Wtf?
Waiting for the kids to get home so I can sign off work and get the heck out of this house!! Put your hands up and STEP AWAY FROM THE FOOD!!
I have to stop cooking things I like to eat. And I definitely notice much more of a sweet tooth. Is this that early sobriety thing?

Be safe, Beezy-
I never liked sweets much before, but now... holy crapfood...
So we are going to a black tie dinner/dance tonight. I was ok earlier, but am getting really anxious now. I usually start drinking while I'm getting ready. I know I wont drink, that's not an issue- not sure why I'm so antsy....
Hi to everyone- talk to you later. xoxo T

Hey Tam,
I used to do that too -- I mean, drink while getting ready for a fancy night out. And black tie definitely qualifies as fancy!
I think that most people feel anxious when they get dressed up to go out and they want to look good. Don't they? Maybe we always numbed out the anxiety with the wine, so that we were already sedated before we even got started and never noticed the anxiety before...just a thought...
Relax. You're beautiful. You will have a great time. You know, in my heart I just know you won't drink. I have never met anyone for whom I felt that as surely as I do with you. Wierd, isn't it?
Hope you have a wonderful time and want to hear all about it afterwards!!
Love you!

Thanks, Candy and Astro-
morning, Kev
Thanks, Candy- that's a lot of pressure.......
I want a glass of wine really bad, but I know it will pass... and I will be so glad tomorrow morning when I am working at the soup kitchen not hungover..... deep breaths- it will be ok-
DH just got home and made a drink right away... this after drinking and pouting last night... NOT helping my anxiety..
Took my anxiety meds and will read a little.
It's all good.
Funny how I look here for advice and support first. I appreciate that so much!
Talk to you later on- love you
xoxo T

tam--i totally relate. and, i bowed out of every black tie thing we had over the holidays and our school's gala in feb as well. just didn't feel like it. but, it's probably like everything else, you have to do it sober and take the stigma off. then it's easier next time and the next.
i'm off to the big wedding and reception tomorrow myself. but i'm still sick and have built-in excuse. tee-hee. the upside of being sick.
beezy--have wonderful weekend!! you deserve it!
jane--you're a love as always! so glad daughter and you had that special time together.
brynn--peppermint patty! pepper for short!
candy--you sound like such a good cook no wonder you're eating like mad. i definitely had sweet tooth when first quitting--that's what's up with the limeade and the caramel/peanutbutter/chocolate ice cream. oi vey! they ought warn you about that. i think there is a place on SR that they give a little path of what to expect while quitting but i'm certain it didn't talk about that...maybe we should write our own quitter's guide for dummies or what to expect when you're quitting book. i think we talked about that, too.
anyhow, i'm going to try to--egads--make dinner tonight. i must be getting better if i think i can stay upright long enough for that.
hugs to all--

okay just popping in for a sec.
it seems like everytime i get a moment, i am catching up and reading and then the moment is over...
the weather has been like 60 here so we have been outside alot!! shouldn't complain but it takes me away from ya'll
c'est. - i hear what you are feeling on so many levels. i wish i could go into it more now, but when i have the time i will.
I am struggling with a lot of the issues.. and i too have been told by my therapist that i don't fit the mold.... and i don't know what the heck i am or am not anymore, but what i do KNOW is that you are very helpful, insightful, supportive and a HUGE asset to this thread (and i am sure the rest of SR but i don't get out much) whether you are having a drink here or there or not.
If you feel that you get support and that SR makes your life better than BE HERE!! because deep down that is all any of us want ---- to make our lives better in any way we can. and i know you make mine, and i am sure many others lives, better by being here!
ok i HAD to get that out! but i have to go put dirty smelly kids in bath and in bed. dh is on way home, he works too much...
xoxo to all
Tam -- you will not drink and you will be delightful to be around and you will be happy with yourself both tonight and tomorrow!!

SR is great but it only helps me if I have and work a program here in physical reality. I have found that I fit the mold just perfectly now with other addicts.

its all good. I need to be reminded of where I am and what I am doing. More power to you in recovery however it is for you. There are many ways to do any one thing.
