Love you too, RC!!:l:l

Des - that is exactly the way I feel about it. Yes - sometimes I look back at some of the things that I have written and it is hard. But, you are right - it is healing. Also, I have been able to see that I have made progress. Sometimes, I don't feel like I've made any progress at all. But, I have. That's why I thought the name One Step at a Time would be good. That's what we all are doing.........we are taking it One Step at a Time.

Ah DR Des--core health is what we should all get back to....there would be far less addiction imo...

morning chaps, i hope this is a place where people can be themselves even if it means u feel like u r letting people down, im sure ur real mates would rather see u being real and down then wearing a mask and being happy as how can they see the real you, and if u wear a mask all the time , other people r friends with the mask not u, ur real friends will not care whether u r happy or sad or whether u have drank or not drank, they may be dissapointed but its only because they truly care and if there a real mate they will support u no matter what.

Morning everyone - yes, I agree, I think we all need to be ourselves here - in real life, I am always the happy one........which gets hard at times! here as some of you know, I tend just to be quiet when I am not happy. In real life, I think if I keep being 'down' then I just bring others down - yes, we need to be honest here - otherwise what is the point of the web site - I have had my share of being depressed and feeling low - and I thank goodness that you all have been here for me. I have some good friends here who always come through for me and care about me - they know that I am not always happy......even though darn it - I TRY TO BE. Life does throw some curveballs.

I have a meeting this morning so need to get going......

Love and hugs to all,

Sun XXX

lovely post LPC--thank you all for your support and honest sharing. Morning appointment cancelled - hmm that was a bit of mercy.

More laundry today - determined to not have a speck of it left by the end of the day! Best to all:l

Hi everyone, Hope your depression has lifted Nora.I also get depressed, but I am starting to recognise that the worst of my depressions are all when I have been drinking, if I don't drink I don't feel half as bad. Drinking makes me depressed, guilty, paranoid. Not drinking makes me happy and according to my family good company. I have done some heavy drinking over the years and I truly believe if I continue to drink I will not be around for much longer. I want to remain sober, I need to remain sober because my life is so much better, so I like this thread one step at a time, because it is less pressurising than saying I will never drink again. It is so good having people who I can relate to. Thanks everyone, have a good monday.
