Welcome to the whiners thread DagHammarskjold.

I'm glad the wedding went well cmc.

My only whine is that I didn't catch any fish yesterday. But it was beautiful yesterday sitting out there in front of the water. Oh, and first time ever fishing in the morning. Imagine that! When I drank i wouldn't get out fishing until at least 4:00 in the afternoon.

NOt so much of a whine as a lot of screaming and crying. Daughter (the one that's talking to me again) went to the store with me, she on bike, me walking with the dog, and in the store she got a lot more than I'd counted on. Her backpack was too heavy and so was my bag I was carrying. She chastized me in the store several times, in front of other people, and was shushing me loudly and rudely. I wasn't being loud, just wanted to pack the groceries so that the loads were equal and balanced.

I told her to leave me alone and quit shushing me and giving me unwanted and unneeded advice and she just got worse. Came home after walking all the way with the heavy bag and she was taking off her backpack and getting her key out. I held the screen door open with the grocery bag and she screamed at me to not rush in the door ahead of her. I wasn't, I was only holding the door open for her.

She's got a real attitude these days like she knows it all and has no qualms about being rude and hateful. I have so little self esteem these days it doesn't take much to blow it away. I would have been happy enough to go by myself to just get a few things, but thought it would be helpful to take her along when she asked to go. Next time I won't ask, or tell her where I'm going.

I don't need her crap, I've got enough of my own.:a043::c004::bigcry

Sorry to seem so serious, but it's better to let it out here than to pick up a drink, right?

nothing wrong with being serious :)
kids, hey? :a043:

I find it's good to try not and let other people own you with their moods - she sounds a more than a little unreasonable...

My goodness...that's some of the best WA recovery!! Good for you! :hug:
btw- don't forget that in the WA thread no apologies are needed here for whining about something like your daughter's rude behavior.
I'm glad you're not allowing what she did to get in your way.
WTG. (that stands for Way To Go & also Whine To Go)

Happy with myself for not giving in to the cravings but just wish I'd feel 'better'. Don't want to do anything, don't want to go anywhere, want to do something, want to go somewhere...

Sick of myself, but I'm still sober. Midnight will be day twelve, don't want to start all over so will walk the dogs and go to sleep. Watch old Star Trek tapes. Will do anything or nothing - but I will not drink!!

Thanks for putting up with my whines!:ghug2

Hi least!

I was just wondering; "Do you attend meetings?"

I found for myself, and even though this may be kind of morbid, that listening to other people whine would quite often make my own s**t not seem so bad in comparison.

:ghug3

Hi PupMum!

"On a positive note, I could not open wine even if I had any! Whine more productive"

Now, that's the spirit!

I'm such a whiner... I HATE P.A.W.S and its stupid sleep disturbances!!!!!!!!! All I want to do is sleeeeeeeep!!! All nite! But instead here I sit, eating salted peanuts and whining like a cranky little baby... a baby who's long overdue for her nighttime nap!!:c004:

Dee74 05-28-2008 01:30 AM

hope you got some rest in the end...and try eating something else than salty peanuts maybe ?

raw peanuts - any legumes really - are allegedly good snooze foods - the salt tho I'm not so sure about - those suckers tend to be pretty well seasoned - and any seasonings are probably best avoided IMO

here's a cool article I found

No Dee, I was not able to get even one hour of sleep last nite. I was stressed out and stress often makes me itchy, literally. So I couldn't relax enough to sleep cause of feeling so 'prickly' all over. Then had coffee but forgot to eat first, so the coffee acid is eating a hole in my stomach right now.

I ought to be able to sleep tonite if for no other reason than sheer exhaustion.:a043:
