Took action !

Hi there
apologies for my navel gazing posts of doom and guilt yesterday !
Today I decided to do something positive
I am going to movies with a friend. No drink involved and early start so it removes my trigger time for drinking. Kids taken care of no stress.
I also have booked my induction at gym tomorrow. Its a female only one I went to before and enjoyed so despite feeling "blobby" not worried about it.
So with the initial counselling appt due in next 2 weeks am feeling more positive.
Thanks again for all your support guys

Good for you! There are many things out there that don't involve alcohol and it's great to see you taking positive steps towards them. Going to the movies today with a friend is fantastic! You'll have to let us know what movie you saw, by the way. Going to the gym is such a positive step too, a great way to not only work on your physical self, but it's a really good stress reliever as well. And I'm really happy to hear that you've made an appt with a Counselor. All very, very positive steps Daphne.

You do sound like some sun is shining on you today. . . no matter what the weather is like outside.

God Bless,
Judy

thanks for the encouragement
Film was quite good ..."its complicated" with meryl streep (great actress) and alec Baldwin (sleazy) and steve Martin ( he was in a straight role )
Bit close to home as some similarities with my own marriage crash!
Went for a coffee afterwards and a good chat
So off to work and the gym tomorrow
How sensible do I sound now LOL
