Bottoms Up, Folks!?! I feel like we've hit too many "bottoms"...what's the story, admins?:e136: |
What do you mean Nonny? |
only one current Bottoms thread I know of JN :) D |
OK...whatever happened, when I first logged on, seems to have been resolved. There were all the old locked Bottoms threads at the top of the page. SR gremlins at work again? Anyone care to continue a discussion in this thread? Feel free, and I'll chime in. :c033: |
oh good, i was afraid we'd offended you. i gotta go to a doc appt, but i'll chime in tomorrow! :c010: |
Strange...but gone :c010: now. |
Good luck with the doc's appointment, parentrecovers...will look forward to a ring-a-ding-ding (chime imitation) from you tomorrow. Oh...BTW...I'm not that easily offended anymore...used to be hyper-sensitive...now, I'm only super-sensitive...progress, not perfection? |
Thats weird Non, I hope there's not gonna be a crash or something... |
Don't jinx us, Stone! There better not be another crash! Hi Nonny! |
Rae there can be too many asses... but not enough Bottoms :). I haven't had that happen thank goodness! |
Speaking of sensitivity...(well, someone did mention it)...do you find you're less sensitive than you used to be, or are your feelings still easily hurt? |
:bigcry |
seriously, i am less sensitive. i've grown a lot in my recovery, and it reflects in many aspects of my life. plus, when you just take it one day at a time, it's easier to keep calm... |
I'm still very sensitive, but I don't cry as much as K |
:bigcry |
Toldja. Big baby! Shaddap already! |
http://bestsmileys.com/lol/5.gifYou guys are too much! I don't know if my sensitivity was due to a feeling of inferiority or people pleasing. I've definitely developed a thicker skin...don't know if that comes with maturity, sobriety, or a combination. Anyway, I don't cry as much, and it doesn't last as long when I do! http://bestsmileys.com/comfort/2.gif |
like you always say, jersey, and i always appreciate PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! signing off, so hugs out - k |
I don't know why I'm so sensitive, but yes, it's lessened with time. I was sensitive bordering on paranoid before, so there has been a definite improvement. |
ok, i'm telling! jersey called me a DING DONG! |
What'd I say to ya before, crybaby! Go cry urself to sleep in ur wee pillow! |
Aw, pshaw!!! I asked her if she'd rather be a http://www.hometown-treats.com/produ...g_ding_sm.jpeg and she's still a big cry-baby! I thought chocolate would make her feel better...it does me...guess there's just no pleasing her. K's a little tattle tale! http://bestsmileys.com/lol/5.gif |
Pass one of those this way Rae :yumyum:... I promise not to cry until they're all gone. |
I remember when I sobered up for like 6 months before and I would cry for no apparent reason. I felt like an idiot. I don't remember how long it took but I'm so afraid of it happening again. I'm just so happy right now with my four days sober and I know I won't drink today, but I know it will happen and I need to prepare myself for it when it does. One thing I know I have is SR and all the wonderful people here who continouisly reach out a hand to me, and that feels good. I know that I have some resources to use if things get that way. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst because the fact of the matter is that the world is out there and so are the temptations and that little voice in my head saying, " come on, just have a couple ". As long as I stay around wierdos like these people, I think I'm out of my head. So if he's talking to me in my head, No one's home leave a message at the beep. feeling sad is something I've dealt with for a long, long time. The only thing is I dealt with it through drinking and drugs. It never worked. of all the times I've tried, it never did. So now I'm trying a different route. I just don't want to hurt the way it did last time I cried for no reason. Because even though there was no reason, It can be the most painful thing in the world |
great post, loomer - you seem like a real honest guy. jersey - morning! row - :28: |
:bigcry |
ha! a taste of my own medicine........ |
As long as I stay around wierdos like these people When I first started sharing at closed meetings, everytime it came around to me, and I said, "My name is Rae, and I'm an alcoholic," I would burst into tears. Not sure why...was it relief? sadness? regret? Anyway, it wore off after a couple of weeks. When I first came to this nursing home, I cried every day...not much, but enough so they had the psychotherapist come to see me. The thing was, I didn't feel I belonged here with all these dementia patients. What I told the psych doc was that there were a lot of people here who could use her help, but I wasn't one of them. "Go help someone who really needs you." Hang in there, rl...better a little bit nutty sober than a whole lot nutty drunk. |
