Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Wow, a lot of new friends here. Welcome, welcome, welcome. I look forward to hearing from you and your experiences. Thank you for wanting to take part in this wonderful thread. It has helped me more than I can say. If you get half as much out of it as I have, then you are going to be just fine. A lot of great people here always ready to lend a helping hand, an ear and a shoulder if need be.


Love, Me

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Sorry for not posting more often. I’m still doing my best to try and pull myself out of this horrid mood I'm in. Things are really bad with the other alcoholics in this house and something has to give soon or I'm going to snap mentally. I feel like a giant rubber band that has been stretched beyond it’s limits and I’m going to break soon. The only good thing is that they keep me disgusted with the thought of AL. The stories are too long to go into, and to be honest, just too damn sickening and depressing.

Anyways, I seem to be forgetting to take my supplements lately and this too could be effecting my mood. I have to work on this and see if it helps. I have no ides why I’m forgetting to take them lately except for maybe too many distractions.

I don’t know what I would do with out you guys sometimes. I think it’s time I tried to get myself back here a little more often. I just feel sometimes if my life sucks so much, how in the hell can I try to help and give advise to others?? So I stay off the boards for a while. Stupid, I know. I’m getting out of here for the next 2-3 days and I think that will really help me. I need a friggin break from these needy and selfish people. I just feel like crying all the time and have been this way for close to 3 weeks now. Please this is not a pity party, just feels good to type all this shit out sometimes. Lordy, I'm making myself sick with all this "woe is me" crap. Enough.

I have so much more to say but just can’t bring myself to do it. I’m afraid if I start I’ll never stop. I am so not looking for sympathy, please understand that. I just need to vent sometimes. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this outlet.


Love, Me

{{{{{{Thankful}}}}}}}}} I just want to come over there and rescue you!!! Living with a a bunch of alcoholics must be beyond draining......glad you are getting away for a few days, sweetie. You are truly amazing to have not only gotten sober yourself, but played a huge part in the sobriety of many of us here, me included!!

Perhaps your next step will be to work on changing your living situation. I know that can be difficult in many ways, but perhaps you could start putting the idea out there to the Universe! It is amazing how opportunities can come our way when we think that there is no way! And, by the way, never worry about looking for "sympathy", you wouldn't even know how to do that, my dear friend !! But those that love you will always send you Empathy and Love!!

Love,
XXX Kate

Thankful - Ditto on everything Kate said. I also think you should write everything you feel on this board. It will be a good way for you to look back someday in the future and see your growth. That is why I ramble on sometimes .... not that I think people want to know the "details" - but more for me to "sort it out". So vent on ..........

Thankful sorry your having a rough go at it....extra hugs for ya dear XXXX

Boots and Kaddy, big congrads on your days!!!!!! you rock!

well, this is our last night on the ship...you just cannot beleive how hard they push al on these cruises...it's like living 24/7 in a fancy bar. eeeeeeeeek! oddly I've found it liberating and interesting to be in this environment. I have done this entire cruise with no antabuse in my system....maybe reckless but a test I just knew I could pass. whew! mind you it's been in close proximity in case I felt the need.
we saw dolphins today by the boat and they were so playful and cute!
yesterday we saw a sea otter as well which was an unexpected treat.

be well friends!!!

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Just popping in to say HELLOOOOO!!

And what a nice warm surprise, thank you Kate!

Life is just grand right now. I am feeling very good, business is picking up the pace almost faster than I can keep up again. Good thing my assistant will be back Monday. She has been in Europe for the past 3 weeks - that was another stress factor on my plate. She is my right-hand gal and takes over all my backend stuff. So, I was trying to do all that, too.. SHESH, how did I make it through.. Oh yeah..

Well, I'm off to give myself a little weekend retreat. I am heading out for a little city getaway.. planned for myself... tonight when I get in it will be a night at a restaurant a freind owns - supposed to be really good, then off to see Sex and the City!! Tomorrow a day at a spa and then I have a freinds bridal shower, then I am meeting up with another old friend for the evening... Very excited! I haven't been away for a long time, so I think I really need this. I feel spoiled already!!!!!!

Hope you are all well.

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Goodmorning all. Thank you for your well wishes and good thoughts. You are sweet.

Kate ~ have a safe trip, hun. I would say have fun, but I see it's for work, so make the best of it anyway.

MM ~ you sound like you have a great w/e planned. Good for you. Enjoy!

Liv ~ saw your new thread about other addtictions. You are a real inspiration girl. I was going to respond there but a bit to fragile to commit to putting the work into another addiction right now. But I will tell you that I too need to cut back on sugar. I think I've given up the thought of giving up caffiene. I just can't do it. I can't believe how bad I feel on the days I don't have it. I just need to figure out a way that it doesn't affect my diet. Still eating only 1 meal a day and I've been forcing that. But however, I still manage to get my choc/sugar fix in. Always can fit that in! lol Now that I think about it, I think it's the 1 meal a day that's making me forget to take my supps when I'm suppose to cuz I don't like to take them on an empty stomach...hmmm. Anyways, I am going to look up to see if I can find a supp for sugar cravings (and then remember to try and take it ).

Det ~ so proud of you for staying AF on your trip. And to do so w/o the meds is fantastic! You rock, dude!

WW ~ ok girlie, you have to get back here soon. I had a dream last night that you (ok it was Susan Dey) were walking round looking for us and you could not find us! How's that for weird??!!?? You know I miss you when I start seeing you in my dreams!!

Teardrop ~ I feel for you, hun. I hate pouring my heart into a meal that takes a while to make only to have people turn up their noses. Hey, at least you tried something new. Give them a couple of nights of frozen dinners and they will be begging you to make something homemade (w/love) again!

Kaddy ~ I hope your busy w/e includes some fun for you!

BB ~ enjoy your w/e.

Believe ~ did you ditch us again? You figure we are good to go without your words of wit for another 2 months?? Hmmmm........

As soon as my niece is home from school today I am headed to my Aunt's house out on the lake. It is so peaceful there. I can't wait. Just doggie sitting until Sunday night and I will end up finding all kinds of housework/yardwork to do (they are elderly), but I don't care. A w/e of peace and quiet, doing housework will still feel like a mini vacation! lol
Can't wait to get out of the city and away from the noise.

Love to all ~

Love, Me
