You're hurting others by your statement..All of us care..Please respond asap.

Hey.

I'm sorry I've just woken up. I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to kill myself.

I just meant that I needed to switch off and sleep so I could have a bit of peace for a while.

Huge apologies, I'm back and here and feel better for having had some sleep.

I feel more able to deal with everything, thanks for all your support, I never meant to worry anyone.

I'm glad to see that you're doing better and are better able to deal with everything. These boards really do help.

Hi Mimi, don't go scaring us like that!

As for drinking again, don't beat yourself up and jump straight back on the wagon, you don't wanna have to detox again.

Hi Mimi,

How's the heart today? Please keep coming.

mimi54321

My heart hurts so much I feel ill.

And I know only time will heal it. This is so difficult without a crux of booze to fall back on and help take the pain away, even though I know it would be only momentory.

I have to work out the logistics of moving out and starting a new job.

Mimi, say this prayer until you live it:

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.

When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation-some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.

Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.

Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.

I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.

Then this, over and over. LIVE it:



Letting Go


To let go doesn’t mean to stop caring; it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To let go is not to cut myself off; it is the realization that I can’t control another.

To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To let go is not to try to change or blame another; I can only change myself.

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.

To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge, but allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own outcomes.

To let go is not to be protective; it is to permit another to face reality.

To let go is not to deny, but to accept.

To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish the moment.

To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more.


Perhaps it is letting go of a child or spouse, or a burden or sorrow, losing a loved one, or learning to live with a situation, which we just cannot change. Read this over, study it, pray for it, work the 12 steps, and you will find that letting go of your load will release a peace within you which will allow your spirit to soar..…to be free. Give it completely to God and let a work be done within you…where the need is anyway.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'll try.

I just can't stop crying and I've got a second interview later today so am going to look a right wreck for that, doubt anyone would give me a job in this state.....

Sorry I'm trying to be positive but its f****n difficult right now.

It is always darkest before dawn, Mimi.

And it's O.K. to cry those releasing, healing tears.

The hot ones means you are releasing a lot of toxins and

built up pain.....but don't ever forget...

"Weeping may endure for a night; but joy cometh in the morning".

And when it's lonely, remember we are here walking beside you.

mimi54321

You really inspire me.

I don't want to feel like I wish I would die in my sleep.

stone

Hang in there mimi, you have made some big changes and they are painful but you have set the stage for your future happiness. Whatever you do don't drink and if you feel really bad please talk to a doctor.

chrisj728

mimi like Stone says you are setting the stage for your future happiness and you do have one thing to be more than positive about. Your not drinking your hurt away leaving you to grieve for your situation in this present moment, if we drink our feelings away we're only saving the grief for another day.Tis best felt today so it leaves tommorrow free for new feelings of joy and hope.
Stay strong in your beliefs that you are making the right decissions for you alone and only good will come out of them.
mimi if we stay true to ouselves then HP will always walk with us, if we lie to ourselves then we walk away from HP.
