    A complete turnaround!

    I am tired and pissed off with trying to do what is right and what is 'expected' of me anymore. I have come to the conclusion today that drink matters no more to me as it used too. BUT I have been to a rave over the week-end that has shown me that my life does not revolve around absolution. I am happy with what I have done and this always going to be a part of my life. THIS IS WHO I AM!!. I love you all but posting this morning in out's thread made me realise that I cannot hide from this anymore. I am who I am and I will still do whatever it takes to keep me from binging etc but I cannot hide from the truth anymore.

    I'm not gonna get all sentimental etc. I've done what I have done and I stick by my rules and I just thought you should all know where me head is at at the moment. It has always been my intention to be honest and open with you all here.

    Love and Happiness and thanks for listening

    Hippie

    The only thing we can control is knowing and accepting who we are.
    Congrats, hipster.

        Det's, after seeing your pictures at the 'Burning Man' festival I have kind of felt a real closeness with you both and although I have kept my distance in the past I think you have both understood where I come from. OK Det garlic sauce may not be what I wanna smell on ya breath when I DO meet ya but being in that desert mate is what it is all about. I'm sure you both know where I'm coming from!!. Don't even try to tell me otherwise!!lol. Life is becoming too serious and less pleasurable and I really need to get back to a few festivals this summer and get in touch with who I REALLY am!!. I am fast becoming a 'norm' and less of a 'hippie' and it really scares me as to how I am becoming something I always professed I would never become.

        Love to you both

            these things sneak up on you...

            Hey hippie,

            Years ago I started doing work for companies I vowed early in life not to work for. They gave me huge creative freedoms and started throwing money at me...it was too hard to resist...a couple of years into this and a bit of a breakdown, led me to give up these clients...people thought I was crazy, but I had given up myself and am still finding my way back. I will not judge you for your use or non use or for who you want to be in the world as one of the best blessings I have had is to have people who don't judge me either and I want to pass that on. Yell who you are from the four corners of the earth and I will cheer for you. Peace.

              Hi Hippie.. Accepting who you are is very hard for many people. There are so many fronts put up. It's like that show I have been watching "How Clean is your House"...they put forward a good front, but what they do behind close doors is another completely different world. I've given up pretending to people. I have no use for gossip, or people who gossip to me. Life is too short to cut people down like that. If you don't have the courage to say it to their face, then they should just keep their mouth shut. I've also found out in my passings that whatever you do in the dark eventually comes to light..no matter how hard you try to conceal it. I am living now for my family, my baby girl, the ones I love and myself. I will do what I have to do to make their lives better, anyway I can. Life is too short to be miserable. Enjoy being you, and revel in it. People don't have to "get you"... as long as you're happy, not much else matters.

                hey

                Hey Hippie, (from a true fellow hippie!) Whatever you do is your own business, and thanks for being honest..............DEFINTELY NO judgement here by any means!! I think anything in moderation that is fun and not TOO bad for you is ok (sorta)...............I am babbling now, so I will shut up,

                You know we all love you and care, that is what I mostly wanted to say!!

                HUGS!!!

                You are cool!

                    Hi Hippie,
                    I and nobody here will ever judge you. Only you and you only will know when the time is right.
                    Love and all the best

                      Hippie,
                      Funny you would post this today. I have been doing REAL soul searching over the past month or so and what I finally realized is that I am SO OBSESSED with "doing the right thing" and alcohol, that I don't enjoy life anymore. Yes, binge drinking is NOT for me, but I do not want to think about alcohol 24/7 either. It is Spring now, so I am out in the yard, enjoying life again. BBQ'd last night and had friends over, they all had a few drinks....nothing out of hand. I was fine! I find obsessing over it actually makes me want it more. I have started making myself "TO DO" lists and adhering to them daily. That is much more positive than constantly being consumed with NOT DRINKING.....

                        its good to look in the mirror and see your true self, it may take a while for some, but it helps you be at peace with yourself
