Hi peeps,


Can I just say, as a newbie, and on day 5, I think I am in danger of loosing my mind!!!


Do you know what... I seem to be going a bit 'dippy', I mean, I am 'dippy' at the best of times. But when I went to tesco today, I bought a CD to cheer myself up (a double). When I got to the car, I removed the cd I already had in, fiddled around with my seat belt etc.. then went to insert my new cd. Great. cd 1 was missing!! :damn: humpf. So, back into tesco I go, with my receipt. Tell the woman on the desk.. cd 1 is missing! I wait, whilst she goes off upstairs to get me a replacement. she comes back, minus my receipt! so I wait again, whilst she goes back upstairs to fetch me the receipt. I am getting seriously impatient by now!! ull Finally I get back to my car, make sure I rejected the cd in there already, and what comes out ??? .......... CD 1 !!!!!! Oh dear, ops!: mmmm, a bite my lip moment... would appear I'd already put CD 1 in. :blush: I tell ya, no way was I going to go back in. So, I apologise in advance, if anyone, anywhere near me (an I'm not tellin ya where that is), is missing a disc in their new cd.. cuz it's tough titty!! :H

That happens. Your mind/brain are doing a lot of work behind the scenes right now, adjusting, getting back to normal functioning! Just take it easy, OK?

Well, sadly 60 days later I still having real airhead moments. My hubby is constantly rolling his eyes and saying is this pissy voice "are you okay?", like I've f**king lost my marbles and he's about to have me committed...
wip, I appreciate the comment that there is a lot going on behind the scenes. I found that very comforting.:l

Hi Step,
Congrats on Day5! We all seem to be a little "off" for a while, but what were we drunk??? Do you think we were acting normal then??? I'd rather be a little absent minded than fall down drunk and slurring my words...wouldn't you? This, too, shall pass!! Kriger

Hi step in time

I think I know where you're coming from! I am nearing the end of day 3 - I'm off work at the moment had 2 weeks off on holiday - my hubby is away on a course and I'm just wandering round the house in a complete daze wondering what the hell I'm doing!

I've got loads of stuff I should be doing but I can't get moving - never mind hes back tomorrow so I might get my act together then! Well done on 5 days - I'm right behind you xx

Seen the light.... when I went AF before, for the first month or so, I had virtually zero organisational skills what so ever. It was as tho I had lost all direction. I would tackle anything head on, with a drink inside/beside me. It's like it was my motivation, but without one, I am lost. I am hoping, if I can stick with this, it will get easier. Also realised yesterday, you have to open a door, before you go thru it! stoopid!!! AND I was wondering why I couldnt unscrew the lid off a bottle of pop, (just wouldn't budge) until I was informed "it's already off!!" hey ho lets see what today brings. Hope everyone is well :l
