...I had a real 'mememememe' bout of self pity. Why can't I have a drink? Why aren't I like other people? I was raging at the injustice of it all, blaming everyone else but me, hating everyone who was out having a social drink..until I had a moment of clarity and made myself think that, ok, I can't drink, I can see, hear, walk, smile at my beautiful children. I live in a nice house and drink clean water, eat enough food - and more...and kiss my husband. Who wants to wake up feeling like death every morning anyway?

So, I had a cry with my husband, explianed how i felt, had a good meal, went to bed with a book and had the best nights sleep i've had for weeks.

I hope this may help someone else.

Day 36 has started with a smile :ghug

Sounds like you had a wonderful moment of clarity.
It can always be worse.
I watched the Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants last night for the first time.
And there was this little girl who was being a smartass to one of the sisterhood girls. And later on it was revealed that the girl had Leukemia.
That made me think alot on those same lines.
I know sappy. Its just a movie. But it did have me counting my blessings that there are always worse case scenarios. And alot of people have way more problems than not being able to get wasted.
It is a very humbling feeling.
I am glad you got a good cry and got some good rest.
Keep up the great job.
