Good night everyone who's headed that way.
The skies opened and rain is blowing sideways across the roofs. Trees swaying and bending. I can hear thunder. A giant crack of lightning. One cat is cuddled next to me

Last I checked I said that I have a drinking and smoking problem that I needed help with; I understand it's progressive and that's why I'm here- to deal with it before it ruins my life.
I think I've acknowledged that quite a few times.....

Hi, Weekenders)
Been missing you all, but lots going on in life right now.
Had a bad panic attack yesterday - first in a quite a time - which threw me back in old days mentality, and I was just scared.
My job is in jeopardy now - because of some "political games" in upper level management all my bosses left the company, the department is under re-organization, and my paycheck for the previous month is already drastically cut.
I don't think I will survive another round of harassment by banks if I am not able to pay loans again.
Hate myself for whining.
Of course , I am not a tree, I can change the situation. But paralyzed by fear right now.
Anyway, great to see you all.
Have a great weekend)

Try again, morning everyone
SUID I agree with Dee - don't suffer alone
MidnightBlue good to see you, your work situation must be very worrying, hopefully you can speak to the new boss or bosses about it soon. The good thing is you have a track record of employment to fall back on and I am sure you are an asset that they would not want to likely throw away
Jen (bohdi) you are doing great, i'm sure everyone can see that
Welcome to the Weekenders thread Dame
I ran west along the canal this morning, I don't usually as to go any distance involves leaving the towpath because of the Islington Tunnel but today I just ran to the tunnel entrance. It is a marvel of Victorian engineering - over 3 million bricks used in its construction

Hey Y'all,
Just checking in. I had another kidney stone drop on Wednesday evening, so I spent most of Thursday and Friday doped up and watching TV. I hated doing it, but it was necessary for pain management. That put me way behind at work, so I spent all day yesterday in the office trying to catch up.
I'm also double-dosing on stool softeners trying to catch up on something else the narcotics put me behind on. It's shocking to me that some people abuse those pain killers. The side effects are so dang unpleasant! If I don't get some relief from that soon I may have to go for... the apparatus.
OK, sorry for the TMI. Just wanted to share. Hope everyone is well!

Are you all kidding me???? 100 or so posts into part 2 on a Sunday morning???? 
No exercising today. Relax. Maybe beach. Making the ragu this morning to put in the oven all day.
Also the weasel has made a rather large decision. I am going to buy a home sometime over the next year. I am starting with open houses today. It's time I had something of my own again and settle in for the remainder of my time here on earth. I was one to move and change and rearrange my living quarters. I have had 4 other homes over the years. But now I want nothing more to stay put and enjoy the solitude.
Hire me some nice young landscapers, snow removal, and handyman. You know how many projects I could have for him / them.
Anyways... I can afford a nice one and if not I can afford to fix it up the way I want it. Weasels are quite domestic!
Bacon in the oven and laundry running. So let me go and prep for the day.

Good Morning and Happy Sober Sunday everyone!
All caught up except ones I missed in the last thread. A few things stood out.
SUID, odd how it works but the times that you feel like you need to stay silent are typically the times when you need to post more. Why do you think you need to stay silent?
I'm also seeing discussion about withdrawal and how some of us never went through it. I was surprised to find out on SR that a hangover IS withdrawal. Sure, it's not having to physically go to detox but it's still withdrawal. We just didn't get to the stage where it was bad enough for us to need medical help to get through it.
I have to get moving but that's ok, for once my post isn't a short novel. I hope everyone has a great day!
