I can make up for your lack of whines...

can't sleep, can't focus, can't relax, can't keep a decent mood from one minute to the next, all the joys of PAWS... and to top it all off, my neighbor is giving us a free concert in his back yard! Too bad I didn't buy tickets cause I didn't want to attend. He's lucky my speakers don't reach to my window or I'd treat him to a classical concert of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on the organ at top volume! Actually, my van is parked in the driveway and tho I can't drive it, the CD player still works and has much louder speakers. Have they never noticed the volume control goes down as well as up?? How rude.

Having a depressing day and can't exactly say why, it just is. Headache that went away overnite came back this afternoon. Just feel 'down' and out. Had a craving or two but told myself "no!" and re-read my list of things I hate about drinking and the resulting devastation and feeling like dirt that alcohol always brings.

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

I think depressing days come to most of us...not always sure alcoholism is always a factor...except that, in the bad old days, we'd always instinctively reach for a bottle to 'feel good'....

Hope tomorrow is better for you!

I'm awfully new to this forum and I'm not sure I understand the "Whiner's Anonymous" threads. I'm no fan of holding back what's going on inside by I know that most of the thinking that goes on in my head is useless. In my experience, to verbalize and rally around all of this crap, just the same as picking up a drink or drug, shuts us off from the ability to be useful to others.

Welcome to Whiners, Dag. This is one of those threads where we don't take ourselves too seriously...actually we don't take ourselves seriously at all here. It's just a fun thread where we can let off steam and laugh at ourselves along the way. I've made friends here from several forums that I don't normally post on, humour is a thread that ties us as well as our recovery.

Here, have your own coffee mug, and if you find something worthy of a whine then just let 'er rip and we're all here to cheer you on.



P.S. I'm not really of royal lineage, just like wearing crowns and funning with the commoners.

I think the idea is to vent here...and leave it here....

and we, with or without whines, get to give support to others. Pretty simple really.

works too

Sprained thumb on Sunday and after two days of having to do everything for myself or do without (went bra-less and shoeless yesterday as could not do either up!) I WANT TO SCREAM. None of my friends have called me even though have told them am injured. No friends in this town to help me with anything. Can't walk dogs as need 2 hands to control them. Because dogs not walked, they keep barking while I am trying to distract self with TV. Shower blocked and could not do much except stand waiting in cold air for water to go down drain. Have to go to work tomorrow as have no paid sick leave so will have to use computer one-handed all day (as am now, but you guys don't care or know how slow I am!). Keep crying when trying to do things as everything is soooooo difficult with one hand in splint.

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

Ahhhh....I'm all caught up with reading what I've missed here on the old and newest Whiners' Anon thread. Whew! (that's too lame to qualify for a whine)

The wedding was wonderful! I left a thread in FFSA about it.

Just for today, I don't have anything to whine about. I'm really so very sorry to let you down. Oh well...
Live and Let Whine, & Take What You Can Whine About and Leave the Rest.

Remember folks, whining is as whining does and if you can't change it, whine about it.
