Beth - so long as you continue to focus on the problem, that's all there will be. Are you even reading the suggestions that are being given? Think that drink through. You might feel better after the first drink, but I'm willing to bet that you won't. I'm here to help those who want it - and until you do, I'm going to step away.
My sincere best to you. I pray that you become willing to take action.

the bottle is empty i dumped it. my friend will be mad, but it wouoldl have been empty one way or another. better down the drain I suppose
I didnt drink. I kinda lurked around the forums and sent a few PM.
Im not willing to give up my clean time
Okay im uncomfortable, big deal get over it Beth
using would have been such a dumb thing to do.

Everyday is a learning process. Its just that somedays the lesson doesnt click I guess , or maybe im stubborn, crazy, depressed. I dont really know, maybe ..... Hmmmm...probably a little of all of the above.
I made it through another day.
I know I have to start reaching out more. I use to have ties with people here, but I couldnt keep it going. Depression= lazy for me anyway.
Somehow I have to force myself to reach out and share here and find some type of support group.
My minds all fd up, but im sober for tonight. One more day.

You know as bad as you say your feeling. You are sure making me proud of you.
Look how far you have come..Look at what you have accomplished. Look at these tests of will that you may struggle through. But dam it your making it.
That took a whole lotta strength to pour that bottle down. Especially when you are feeling like you are.
That is absolutlely to me..Amazing.
You are growing Beth. The Beth I met last year wouldnt have even thought twice about it.
Your doing great.

Reach out. There are people here for you. Find some groups to go to. People can and will relate to your struggles. Proud of you for dumping the juice 
I see my g/f struggle with a lot of the thigns you mentioned. One day, and one thing at a time. Maybe start a small routine of some sort. Like a 10 min walk every day. Some fresh air, being outside in nature, and taking care of yourself in another way (to compliment your staying clean). Keep yourself (and mind) occupied. It will get easier with time.

(((Beth)))
I'm sorry I'm late on this (major computer problems) but I am so proud of you! It took a LOT of strength to pour the bottle out.
I've been dealing with a lot of consequences lately, and have been feeling down, too. I just reach out more to my friends, here, and my support team f2f, which is small, but helps a lot.
Hugs and prayers!
Amy

I must have changed. Cause looking back dumping the equila wasnt that big a deal it had to me and I figure whether I drank it or poured it out it would have been gone. Now its gone minus the hangover and whatever other BS trouble I could of gotten into.
Its getting easier as time goes on.
I also see the things I get from not drinking.
I was introduced to a local band and Ive been sitting in with them at the gigs. One of the members is starting a seperate project and wants me to work with them. If I had gotten drunk I would have never made the meeting and at the meeting I met the bass player who it turns out I use to best friends with. we lost contact and havent spoken in a decade plus.
If I had gotten drunk I wouldnt have made the meeting I wouldnt have gotten into the band and i would never have come upon my old friend.
We never know what we might be missing because we were uisng.
I am very grateful my friend and I have been reunited. VERY
Just one more miracle to add to the list.
Thank you miracle maker wherever you are

Hey Girlfriend.........
Did you miss me? I know that you have been in worse places than you are right now and you made it through and part of that process was talking to us here!!! You have come so far to even look back now. Pick your chin up and look forward and if you need to go and talk to a doctor about depression then do it. You didn't get here on your own and there are just times in life when you need help and remember that I am always here. It may take me a little while to get back to you sonce I don't come around as often but rest assured I will be here none the less!!! Give me a smile and face the day head on, you are tough and I know that you can do it!!!!! You are a new woman and don't ever let the old one bring you down!!!!
