The more I read the more i think this whole world is toxic I want to live another way!
We are not giving up anything good............. just shame, fear and self abuse.........
I want to be the person who starts something good........... something positive
Its time for the whole world to start healing
I have been trying to investigate the temperance society and make drinks that allow you to keep your head yet still feel nice.
I have found recipes for blueberry juice........ elderflower champagne.........ginger beer
when did we all have to have a drink to feel good
ITS A LIE!

Thanks I thought no one was out there............... I have not had a drink for two weeks and i feel better but tonightt home alone and stressed from work its HARD but ok thanks needed to talk so bad!
Every time I see an advert for drinks I feel more and more angry its like a joke especially for young women
Is this what we fought for so we could go out and get as drunk as men tradionally have?????
I have been trapped and now im free............. thanks for allowing me to let off steam

You can start a new thread, Temperance, introducing yourself, otherwise you might get 'lost' on a current one - it's a good way to let others know that you're new here - many will jump on board to welcome you.
Stick around - it will get better. We understand what it's like.

(((Temperence)))) Welcome!
((((Kevin))))... you are one of my favorites. I am going to a 4th step workshop this weekend... three days of taking inventory!!! ... for once, it will be my own.
Last year's group leader was on her 15th year of 4th step workshops. She shared with me that she was pretty sure that year she would have nothing left to look at... but she says her HP always provides. She ended up with a resentment toward God.
What a thing.
Having her in my group was incredible and helped me see that my step work can just continue as I grow and mature and get shinier.
I am so happy to hear that you are doing some of that same difficult work... the folks who come out of the other side of that process help me realize what is meant by our "true selves"... the people we are meant to be.
Hope today gets better (((Kevin)))

hi temperance, welcome to SR and as Rowan said why not create a thread and introduce yourself so we all can say hi.
Thanks folks, I am back in the seat, nothing has changed except my attitude and perspective so I am as BigSis says working it and this Sat morning am feeling live and full of energy. Doing a little painting and some step work today.

Oh, Kevin, I am so sorry I missed this post, been very busy. I know exactly how you are feeling, when I go to the place you are right now, the best I can do is thank God that I am no longer that person. It works wonders, but it took a while for me to believe it myself!!!
I have shared this advice before, it was given to me by my counselor in treatment...he said, when things get so tough you feel like using, do the following:
1) Don't think.
2) Don't drink.
3) Make a meeting.
and
4) Pray like hell!!!
Stay strong, you have come so far...you sure don't want to throw away two years on the first drink!!!
