i am selfish to come here and do this. there is much pressure right now with a (family) member, a close one. some big troubles, talking with hubby and taking me for drink and games makes it worst. i cannot keep everyone happy anymore. i did not have abundance although it messes with my emotions...thank you all. others need help too. sorry. :l

Dear Ripple
I am new (joined last night) however have been a serial lurker on the forum since March or so. Your posts have always been so honest, pointed, occaisionally nutty, kind, forceful and most of all- generous. I just wanted you to know that there is someone out there in the internet ether that benefits from your presence. Hope you are feeling better.

Rip,
It is your turn to need help.
You've given plenty.
We are all here for you if you need to vent, etc. Family pressure can get to us. Anything that makes us HALT, as you know.
Don't let this be a relapse, girl, just a slip. We don't want to see our Rippy get hurt. :l
Sheepish, :welcome: and how generous you are. You are more than welcome to post and let us know more about you. I love it, "serial lurker," :H
Love,
CindiAF April 9, 2016

Ripple, I am going to say this, one more time. You are not being selfish by reaching out. Who is to judge whose issues and struggles are more important than another????? Everyone is important. You have been here a long time.....much of that time, nearly 8 months you were not drinking and you really seemed to emabrace your sobriety. Let's get you back there!!A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes~Cinderella

Good morning Rip ~ I'm glad we got to chat last night. I feel you are reaching a place where you are going to pick back up and get on the track you want so bad. I know you will find the sunshine today ~ love yaAF since Jan. 1, 2008 .... It all began right here
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice, you made it now.

Ripple,
We are like water pitchers, we cannot keep continually pouring out of ourselves for others, without becoming empty. We have to refill ourselves. That isn't selfish, it's just life. Reaching out for support is a way of refilling. We need it and we deserve it.
So--- filler up! It's your turn.

Ripple :l
I am so sorry you seem to be overwhelmed right now. Remember that ultimately you come first; your sobriety comes first, without this you can't do much for anyone anyway.
Keep reaching out here. Sorry I couldn't offer any support last night. My Coach turns into a pumpkin 9pm my time most nights.
I was really wigging for a drink (actually to get smashed) over the weekend. I didn't, but I came very close. I didn't have a shower until late last night because I knew that would keep me house bound, and out of the store. I know how tough this is. Most of us do.
Hang in there. You can overcome this. Stop beating yourself up. Today is a new day. :h
