Need to be more "aware"
Have been insanely busy this summer. We are usually pretty chaotic with three sports loving boys and a hubby that travels, but boy has it ramped up!!!! No time to think too much. I constantly need to get my head around my situation because I am CONSTANTLY in the line of fire. Recently at a funeral reception, an acquaintance made a comment about drinking....basically referring to a person who refrained for a couple of months and she wondered why on earth would anyone do that!?!? Well, I hadn't "prepared" myself for the reception and for some reason it felt like a baseball bat to the stomach and actually made me lightheaded. I am five months in and only a few people know I have stopped. But like my husband says, oh, they all know, they just aren't saying anything! Hahahah! I am having baseball bat moments, rug pulled out
Moments and I am not ready for them. Haven't gone to a meeting in awhile, I am a listener and actually missed a therapist appointment. I am realizing this is placing me in danger, my AV is at top volume and summer is rough for
Me. Heading back to therapist this week and am dedicated to getting to a
Meeting. I talk to my husband who is incredibly supportive and luckily he makes
Me feel safe. But the outside world is calling and I need to get back on the horse and get vigilant! Thanks!

Well done on 5 months!
I heard vigilance many times here on SR. I thin it makes perfect sense to need to pause sometimes and regroup. I'm on vacation with my son and it gets hectic. I sometimes just stop everything I'm doing to just sit calmly and slow down.
