You are welcome, S! 
There is a time .. a season for feeling our feelings and emotions.
In early sobriety we go through these like riding a roller coaster.
After a loss, hormonal changes..meds changes (I am bipolar).
A variety of other situations..it goes on and on. But like the passage in
Ecclesiastes in the Bible..and the song..Turn, Turn, Turn...there is time to
grieve and a time for joy. To be angry and to forgive..to let go.
There is also a time to put away childish things a simply "grow up."
Hmmm..think I'll look up that song too..if I can find it!
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain

Words-adapted from the bible, book of ecclesiastes
Music-pete seeger
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late

Have had a very hard, rotten and miserable 2 weeks
Have had to pack up as Landlord wants unit for his son, and have no idea where I will be as no rental places around here under $300+ a week.
Best friend buried her only son yesterday. So have tried to support her since he suicided last week.
Have been in stroppy mood with abf, and we really had harsh words over our "shared" car.
Thought of buying some whisky to help me sleep instead of laying awake worrying most of the night. Decided NO, as last time I had it as a nightcap, I went thru over half a bottle in a couple of hours.
Then HUMOUR arrived unexpectedly to save my sanity. Thanks my dear HP.
Told by Doctor that new meds had clashed with anti-depressants and produced aggro and volatile old bat. (ME)
Phoned abf,and told him. He said "good, it's been murder putting up with you and your s**t moods. It was like walking on eggshells all the time".
Had to go to toilet in a hurry and laughed til I cried.
He hated every minute of MY moods and eggshell walking for just on 2 weeks?
I have been doing that and more for 18 years.
I must be doing something right in my recovery, as before I began working on ME, I would NOT have seen anything funny about his words at all. I would have exploded, and vented my frustration, anger etc til either I had a angina attack, or he threw 30 days sober out and hit the beer again.
One day I may share this with him, and hopefully he will see the funny side too.
God bless

Just had to have my Eagles 'fix' and hear "Get Over It" again. (Eagles rock!) Having a "get over it" moment today. Been feeling sorry for myself for my money troubles. Had a talk with young roommate yesterday and told her I'd take her out every day (not today) to bug the managers at McD's til they get sick of it and hire her just to shut her up. Gave her a reasonable time to get a job and pay me back and she agreed to the plan.
But was feeling sorry for myself and then remembered just how good I really have it and I.... got over it!

You are so right about our life being our responsibility. I think the people who take responsibility for their life and not see themselves as a victim go much farther in their recovery.
If I am always looking for a way to make someone or something at fault for my choices most likely I am going to stay stuck.
Beating ones self up is not the same as taking responsibility for one's actions. This is one of the ways we relapse I think. Acknowledging my faults is not the same as beating myself up.
What I want is enough healthy guilt to keep me moving away from my negative behaviors but, not so much guilt that I can't keep myself motivated.
