Yeah—that’s because I ate two canisters of Pringles in the last three days! 
My cravings are so capricious these days. I’ve almost lost my sweet tooth. Awhile ago I craved Lay’s potato chips with clam dip, so I made some—I ate little by little for three days, just till I finished the dip—then the chips sat there for a month!

I've been craving ham iceberg lettuce tomatoes and mustard sandwiches in proper sliced bread (not the brench sliced bread) France might have mastered the baguette but they are years behind in supermarket sliced pans.

Just finished day 1 of golf tournament. Shot a 78. Play so much better sober. Beat everyone in my foursome. They were all a little rough this morning after a Friday night out. I Striped them down the middle while they were sipping bloodys.
Off to float in pool. Nice 110 degrees today. I'm guessing that's above 40 C?

Welcome to Weekenders BP2!
Thanks bim, I thought it didn't look like a provider thing.
Good work VMan! I will watch me Tour tomorrow. Love the spectacle.
Congratulations on that 78 Bernie. Long time since I broke 80. Not sure if I ever will now as my arthiritis stops me from playing much golf which is a shame as I really enjoy playing without a hangover - It's a perk only available to recovering alcoholics!

Sorry for last night! I was just feeling miserable. I didn't really consider drinking, I was just having a moment of wishing I could still escape from my feelings for a moment. But I know too well where it all leads to, I have invested way too much and I don't want to destroy all of that.
I expect my mood to go down to that low point again in the next days. I have been sitting at home for too long and fighting the anxiety and depression gets harder every day. I just have to keep going somehow. 6 more days. I no longer expect myself to get through them well or gracefully, just get through them somehow.
I went to my AA home group tonight and even chaired. A friend from that group just bought a car two days ago which was a lucky coincidence cause she could drive me. Very sweet of her. It felt good to see some friendly faces. Generally I still feel very low though.
I'll do a little bit of painting now despite it being late already. But maybe it helps me to feel less anxious before going to bed.
And thanks everyone for bein so caring and supportive. You really save me sometimes. Much love to you all

sorry you've been having a rough time kevlar. hope you're able to feel better soon.
I just read your "1 year and 9 months" thread the other day & you've done amazingly - try to hold on to those thoughts when you're down. in your own words "as a little reminder that ... I am often stronger than I think I am...."
hang in there, you're doing great

It's hard to not lose hope when the depression gets bad. But I am getting better at it. I still lose hope for a moment or so but at least I can sit with my feelings of despair these days and I don't act on them. Which is a massive improvement. I feel so much more like an adult and like maybe one day I will be able to face the responsibility of being a parent and provide some stability.

I think you are doing fine, KEVLAR.
Posting here, getting a ride to a meeting- then chairing that meeting..all very good strategies.
And yes- booze just makes everything worse. Life still goes on without it and fronting our thoughts, feelings and actions is a difficult process.
United we stand.
Support to you.

I hope those are were grumpy are a little or allot less grumpy by now.
Thoughs of drinking have been plauging me today. Went to Grand Nieces 6th birthday party this afternoon, or better known as another excuse for an adult drinking party. Happy we didn't stay too long. Worked hard today hauling stuff off to be recycled and moving furniture about. Another busy day tomorrow so off to bed for me. G'night.
