Hi again Army!!

Jackie - hope you enjoy your morning at work.

Molly - off to google where you are. Hope the weather holds up okay so you can enjoy yourselves to the fullest.

Laters, Mario!!

Oney - how is Mia doing these days? I hope she's feeling better.:huggy

I just posted on Limers thread about sensitivity and compassion. In light of that, I just want to say something here. I came down a bit heavy the other day in a couple of PM's that I sent. I still stand by my original intention of asking that someone be shown understanding and compassion when they come here asking for support. However, I could have been lighter in my request. Then I got PM on Monday saying that I had come down too heavy in the PM's that I had sent and I snapped. I realized later yesterday that there were several factors involved and one of them was that I had been trying to be so strong and positive for Mr. Stirly during all of this cancer surgery and recovery that I had not given myself permission to let go of the emotional baggage I've been carrying around the past while. So in a way, getting my bootstraps pulled up a bit did me good as I snapped and got it out of my system and after I calmed down, I could see that I need to step back and not try to be someone else's conscience. We will all do and say inappropriate things at inappropriate times because we're human. And we will all have our feelings hurt, even unintentionally at times, by something said or posted because, as Oney said, us alkies are a sensitive bunch. Okay, enough said.

Now if only this fecking cold would go away....

Sorry to hear that, whizzy. I know you want to run in the London marathon next month, but maybe you should just concentrate on getting yourself well again?

I'm off outside to vacuum the car. This is a VERY rare event!

Morning all. Did not sleep a wink last night. I am afraid that I had a light beer last night with dinner and I did not even want it. I told my husband that there is not to be any alcohol in the house for a long while. We usually don't but there have been three family parties in a row and there is always beer and wine. I poured out one of those big bottles of chardonnay out that has been sitting in my fridge open - poured it right down the drain this mroning in front of my horrified husband. He does not seem to think that my drinking is a problem, but I told him that if I think it is, then it is! I had horrible guilt dreams all night and am disappointed in myself. I did not even really like the beer which is extra stupid. I gotta rethink something. Something has changed this time around. It's harder for me and its pissing me off.

Hi waggy Don't beat yourself up over one beer with dinner, especially as you did not even like it. I think you've got the right idea by choosing not to have alcohol in the house, after all it sounds as though you wouldn't have had that beer last night if it had not been in the house. Try to concentrate on the positive side, which is all the days you had alcohol free before you had that one minor slip last night. Put the slip behind you and start counting the alcohol free days again. Best of luck and remember to come and post here if you're tempted to drink again.

Yep, you were strong for everyone else and holding your emotions in throughout the whole cancer scenario so that your family could have an easier ride. And when you stuff your emotions, they're bound to resurface! (Usually at inopportune moments... lol...)

You know though, its not only Mr Stirl's cancer surgery... but you seem to be continuously on the go between the shop, the house, running errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. etc... there doesn't seem to be much in the way of "Stirly" time. Maybe you need to be a bit kinder to yourself my dear... and recognize and attend to your own needs as well as everyone elses. I could be wrong, but it's a thought...

Anyway, I hearts you muchly! xxx And I hope that bloody cold will bugger orf toot sweet... )

Agree with this :l:l said with the upmost repect for you stirly :l
