Sorry for the AWOL Guys

Had a mad few days, Dad in hospital for an op, and just generally down in the mouth over things. Tomorrow is day 11. Feeling fine physically just dealing with emotional gremlins.

Thank you all for your support. To coin an English phrase, you're all the cat's pyjamas! (Good folk).

Hope Dad will be ok, K8 - sorry to hear that.

Gremlins will eventually leave. Day 11 coming up - you're doing great.

I learned something new today, thank you.

Hi Hevyn

Thank you, Dad's okay, it was a planned procedure and he's through and out the other side.

Thank you for your well wishes - have a great day.

Congrats on day 11, K8Fazz. That's amazing!

Congrats on day 11 K8 & the good news about your pops procedure

Hi All

Today would ordinarily be my day 14, but as I fell off the wagon on Friday evening and last night and sent horrible messages to my ex, I am back on day one.

Never putting myself through day 1 again, the gremlins are harder than ever to work through!

Hope everyone is doing okay out there.

Welcome back K8

have you thought about what you might do differently this time?

K8Fazz

Thanks Dee

I just keep getting caught up in the upset of the situation with my ex and it is easier to try and block it out with alcohol, but all it does is make me angrier and then the next day, sadder about the whole situation.

I am putting a plan together today for the next month, going to build up to getting fitter, doing some running and swimming and hope that the pain fades with time and keeping busy.

That's the roller-coaster we all need to get off of. Good for you on creating a plan.

Thanks everyone for your support, I feel like I have let myself down beyond belief, I had come so far and ended up falling down the downward spiral again.

I've realised I need to fill my days with activities which lift my mood and make me feel better about myself, so I am going to start exercising more regularly and have also ordered some self hypnosis downloads.

I hope I find myself again

Soberwolf

Stick close to SR K8

K8Fazz

I will Sober Wolf, thank you.

Just feel like such a sap!

Soberwolf

Your not a sap you are amazing

Definitely not a sap K8. This is a tough battle and you have a great outlook. You can do this, you know that you can and just have to believe in yourself. Tweak your plan, learn from stumbling last week. Don't let this one relapse beat you twice.

Like Soberwolf said, stick close to SR. That helped me tremendously in the early days; and even through to today!

Lean on us when you feel down or weak. We are here to help each other.

Great job on coming right back to SR and continuing to fight.

K8Fazz

Thank you both xx
