twitch!

that is cute!! I have this love/hate relationship w/ caffeine, it keeps me up when I need it, but I need to sleep and cannot, it is almost 1pm, and I need to get up and running again around 5:30-6 to have a productive night, will just drink lots of caffeine tonight, and stop and go home and to bed..................today was weird, I saw sil, she is a dermatologist, we hugged and talked and cried, and I am still worked up over that, and losing all the stuff that I have been used to over the past 20 years................which is mostly shit anymore..............just drinking and getting drunk and eating, all they do..............which I used to enjoy, but don't anymore, does anyone understand what I am talking about? Or am I just tired and talking jibberish? Cynthia(sil) said she could see we were growing apart a few years ago, but just thought that would pass, she is the coolest sil anyone could ask for..................

trying to sleep now, lots of love,:l:h:l:h

I understand completely..I have been in your situation. For me, it was hard losing not only the home that we built together but my ex's family - especially one sister-in-law who was like my own sister. I could go on and on, but sometimes it hurts too much thinking about it - better to move forward. Just wanted you to know that I do understand what you are going thru....and will go thru. But you will make it and will be much happier for it.

Tawny, good for you for staying away from the wine. I read something here a few days ago about how we think about alcohol. That we consider it a "treat" to have a drink when we get back from work after a hard day. How we "deserve" a drink after we've gotten the kids to bed, etc. etc. It really got me thinking because I had never thought that way before. That for us who are alcoholics, a drink is never a "treat" nor is it something we "deserve". It is simply our poison. Something that will slowly kill us if we let it. So again, good for you for passing up on the wine, good for you for cancelling the grocery order that would have put temptation in front of you when the bottle was delivered. You are being so strong and under such difficult circumstances. Good for you. :goodjob:
Keep it up :l

sweet

u r so sweet, I am totally connected w/ the feelings, i totally f'd up my Christmas due to this, when I should have been out seeing a movie or something, instead in bed crying, sleeping depressed..............

I promised myself that for the new year I was going to grow................I am moving towards greater things tho, I know it, and feel it, change is hard and painful at times, and I cry when in pain............but this too shall pass, like Eckart Tolle says in his books (btw I love his books, living in the now &n stuff)........good or bad, this moment will pass..................good night/afternoon(i hope.........)

love,:l:h

In the best cases, you may be able to be 'just friends' with those other people you care so much about, as long as you're careful. But sometimes, it's the worst part of the loss. Recently, I heard that one of my son's ex-girl friends said, tho she's happily married, etc., she still regretted I was not her mother-in-law. After 20 years, what a compliment! I still care about her too. It's another reason to think VERY carefully before involving ourselves with someone, because it's more than just two people.
