I don't have ANY big problems

I'm a white girl( mostly) in a first world country-
I'm healthy,-
I have enough money to live comfortably, travel and pay for school out of pocket-
I have a nice safe place to live, a new car-
I sorted my family issues and all is good there-
I live in a beautiful spot-
I'm happy-
I enjoy life and I feel like it enjoys me back-
I feel loved and I love people in return-
I absolutely love what I take in school and can't wait for each semester to begin

I have a drinking and smoking problem I'm working on; it may appear that I fail, but I'm pleased with my progress from when I first joined here; and I look forward to my future progress as a person who doesn't abuse substances.
I'll get there and I'm doing my best to learn and try to actually enjoy the process of being the person I want to be.
A woman who drinks too much and smokes is not a woman I want to be.

I am much better than I was when I arrived at SR, and I'm confident in my ability to transition away from my current issues.
I need a help from other people and that's why I'm here joining in- to make friends, learn from others experience, try to offer support and engage in this whole process.
Everyone has things they need to address and work on in life- this happens to be mine.

In my opinion I have a medium problem

lunar

G'night the other Jen, too.
LOL.

Night lunar xoxo

Afternoon, Suze!

lunar

I can't sleep now.

lunar

Might as well stay up way past my bedtime.

Soberpotamus

Good luck with that logic, Jen.

And I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically.

Soberpotamus

Lunar, you crack me up.

I was much like you Jbodhi - it was ridiculous for me to consider my drinking a problem for the first 10 years of my drinking...after all I drank like everyone else did...

but I lost the plot very suddenly after that and was never able to get back to that point where my problem was mostly a private one.

The strange thing is I look back now to the time when I was sure I was in control...and all I see is regret and wasted opportunities. I could have done so much more with those 10 years. let alone the madness of the following decade....

I understand your position and why you're thinking that way...I'm not trying to rile you up...but never settle for second best.

This thing is progressive...for everyone.

You deserve the best

At least it's Saturday night lunar...I hope you can sleep late tomorrow. I hate it when I can't sleep.
Soberpotamus. ...my dog is fine, thanks. I'm grateful that it was a false alarm. Give Lucy a scratch behind her ear for me.

Jsbodhi

Well in my humble opinion, my logic and I aren't doing too bad in life.

Soberpotamus

I should clarify and say that if you continue to minimize your drinking and substance abuse problem now, you are likely to spiral out of control in the near future.
