You're doing great, Alpine! Have a super day.

How did the AV fair after you punched it in the face? It’s not nice to lie to you, Alpine, and ITS lying. Glad you are being so strong. The nay saying will get easier, partly because you will get stronger, and partly because it will get weaker. On the daily.

You are doing GREAT! Yep, you got this.

Big hugs,

Your classmate,

Alpine

It got down, but now it is creeping back up. I am in kind of a funk and it may get stronger since Mr. A is leaving tomorrow for a week, I have to help my Mom with some things which is always a challenge and will be helping my MIL as well. My MIL has been all up in my space on many levels and also has been saying I need to get out and about with people and that it is not good that I stay home. Uhm..I like my solitude. Sigh.
I need to remain focused and play that tape forward, and also backwards to see where I have come from
I got this

The tough times help us appreciate the good times a bit more IMO.

Without them the great times would just be normal. Same ole same ole.
I like the contrast.
Not that I enjoy the low times, I really really don't, but when they finally pass and I get that moment of peace and contentment knowing I Made It through, well there is no drug in the world that has ever made me feel that good.
Seriously

You'll be fine. Just Don't Drink.
Peace and contentment are coming.
When is anyone's guess. Lol
But it's coming.

Yeah, self-doubt is a dangerous place to visit.

Alpine

I could not agree more Fishkiller, it makes the good times that much better and I appreciate it that much more. Once again thanks for your insight.
Bimi, I am the queen of self-doubt, always have been. I am getting better with my confidence. Not much, but I will take all I can get.
Made it through with helping my Mom, now on to helping my MIL out for the week while Mr. A is away. When he is gone she can be pretty challenging and kind of condescending. sigh.. At least I can now escape that situation by staying in the apartment most of the time. When Mr. A is here I can't because he is working and does not want me here which I understand.
No av for me, I don't have time for that, need to keep focused and push through. No setbacks.
There is always something to be grateful for

Feeling very on edge right now after a few dealings with MIL. I do need an escape...And drinking is not the escape I am looking for even though the av is ramping up because it was what I used to go to . Not today or tonight. Must stay strong. I did some errands today and did not stop in at any liquor stores. Will make my MIL and myself a nice dinner then hide away in the apartment with Riley.
Strength is needed
I will do this
And just because I need a little laugh

Hi Alpine

when threads get to 500 posts we usually open a new part 2 in the Daily Support Forum - is that ok with you?

D

Alpine

Sure!
And Thanks for all you do.

You can start your own new thread in Daily Support, too, Alpine. Then Dee can just close this one when he can. I like to start my own threads - then I still have my username in the forum list and they're still in my list of threads. (Plus it saves Dee a little bit of work.)

Up to you, of course.

Alpine

Hmm, lets see if my little brain can figure it out.

Alpine

Done..I think. Started a new one. Thanks Bimi. Dee works hard, so anything I can do to help.

biminiblue

Cool!

Here's the link to your new thread, for all your adoring fans.
