The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for december

Swanny,it would be the most festive ever if you could join us. As insane and hectic as my life seems, even unbelieveable, it's the way it is, and has always been, so I can't imagine a quiet one. I love every minute of the craziness, especially this time of year, but it would be nice not to have the teens ask 'Can I use your credit card!:H'
You will be with me in spirit, throughout this difficult month. If I could message you, I would, to say things to you. And just know you are treasured here, along with the ones you've lost, by me and others. You'll be at my Christmas table one day, love.

Some of us can't spare a moment Rubes because we are WORKING!!!! I have just got in and I am SPITTING NAILS. My NEW doctor, in his wisdom, has decided that I should go down on my dosage of my AD! EIGHT years I have been taking it - EIGHT years. He comes along and decides that I should either switch to another one or come down on the dosage of this one. I tried THREE before I found this one. I love it. If it isn't broken, why in the hell is he trying to fix it - I am SO angry!!!!!!! he put in the Rx for me - at a lower dose. the first appt I can get with him is 4th Jan. has he EVER been depressed??? I think not. I am so worried that I am going to go back and have that black cloud over me - I have been HAPPY for 8 years - why does he want to change that????? I SO rarely get angry - this is so not me - but I am just SO angry. I need to vent somewhere. I can't believe he is doing this - he is my new doctor - what is he trying to do? Show me his Power Over me? Hells Bells. I can't go to another one 'cos of my insurance but I will argue this with him. just can't believe he is trying to do this.

Day 10 AF
The cravings are geting to me almost gave in last night but did not... Day 10 and still feel lousy! The anxiety has gone through at an all time high. The shakiness and sweating have somewhat subsided, I dont do this for a pity party but just to remind people how easily AL can catch to anyone. Went from drinking 12 beer or less almost everyday for years then last year was up to a gallon of rum a day. Just not worth it. Have a doctors appoinment next week to check liver function and overall health. What a good time to stop for anyone willing to do so. I am glad I found this board and the great support I have received from people. If anyone wants to PM me for support I am there or I can share all you want to know on here..

Thank You Thank You
I just wish to remain sober, I am glad to hear such words after waking up with the nastiest hangovers and losing the day due to AL the day before. Great to hear I have wonderful support on here... I had to go to sleep early last night, took a sleeping pill over the counter one dont need another addiction but it did help just to foget about the cravings. I wish everyone the best that is in this struggle!

I know - I quit AL last year for 8 months and sometimes I would go to bed early just so I wouldn't have the cravings - I know what you mean - hang in there - you are doing SO well! :l

NC Guy, you know what I've said to you before, and if the physical withdrawals are that bad, I'd advise you go to the ER or something. There are ways to do this without so much suffering. Just saying going cold turkey like you are after a long period of heavy use can hurt you. And always, before, WELCOME, and take care of YOU right now, OK? You'll start to feel better, but right now your body doesn't know what's going on. I don't know your age, but withdrawal gets worse with age. Don't want to scare you, and I am so proud of how you've toughed it out. Just take care of our 'Guy'. PM me if you want, any time.
Sun, I'd balk at your new doc's plan too. You have recourse. If nothing else, bombard his office with requests, but demand what you need, and I know you wouldn't overdo or be a problem. These new doctors - ARRRGGH! You know what works for you, and I've got a very young uncle with severe depression, and taking his meds away or even down would be catastrophick. Take care, dear heart. Call me if I can help.

I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. Daisy got to the kitchen table and jumped up and pulled down half of the 6 layer cake that I was making to take in to work tomorrow. Maggie would NEVER have done anything like that. I am not feeling happy tonight. Back to the oven.

Sunny love, BREATHE! My Wolfie pulled our holiday ham off the counter and was munching the bone in the ham. Take care, honey, you'll teach her better. And a lot of dogs (mine) love rabbit turds. And I've actually been buying food! :H

Hey, my dearest family! I am so sorry I have been MIA the last few days. We went and looked at 14 houses and nothing compares to this one! I don't want to leave the country, the peace and serenity I feel here. If it wasn't for my persistant daughter, I would stay here until I went to Heaven! I really don't think I am physically able to pack up everything and move again!
I did go back and read the last 25 pages, but I have forgotten everything! Damn, I hate being OLD! Jan, I have arthiritus in my fingers and the pain is unbearable! I am so sorry for you and hope the steroids help you. Kelly, I am praying about your epidural next week! You really need a miracle for all your pain and health problems! Sunni, you tell that doctor that you have tried other things and nothing works better than what you are on! Ruby, love and prayers sent up for you! Aguy, you are doing so GREAT! Don't give up or give in, things will get easier, I promise. The cravings WILL go away! Gina, love to you. Roger and Nelz, hope you're both doing well. I'm SURE I forgot somebody, so please forgive me. I'M OLD AND STUPID! I love you all so very much and I pray you all know how much you mean to me! Love to all, Vicki

OH RUBY I SO don't want to go back to my black place again. And Daisy is outside eating more rabbit turds and she can't hear me calling her in 'cos she is deaf and I need to go and make another half a cake mix to replace the half she ate. And I am feeling sort of bummed. off to the kitchen......

Love Sun XXx
