Hey there....I'm here us not feeling myself lately. So, I've been on the quiet side too. Seems to have hit quite a few of us here. I'm back on AB. Decided it would be a good idea to get really drunk the other night. So, after feeling like completely shit, I am back on the AB. Not even sure where my head is right now. But, guess it's better to not know where my head is while I'm sober.

What the heck is going on? So many of us are in the pits. I'm thinking it's that time of year, and the craziness will pass.

I need to do come clean with all of you, and I'm scared. Yes, scared I'll lose you. So, here goes....

I've drunk each night for about 10 days. Again, not falling-down-drunk, but drinking nonetheless. I haven' said anything because I'm embarassed. I haven't tried very hard not to drink, and that's not the point of being here, is it?

Life is so stressful for me right now that I can't fight all the battles that are going on around me, including my own. I guess I've given up on everything except taking care of my mother.

I need to find a way to put myself and my health first. I do not want to drink, believe me. I want to feel positive again, give it a go, and be happy.

So, may I stay with you? (My hands are sweating as I type this.)

Love,
Juja

This time of year is always dangerous, all the party's and the commercials about getting together and having a drink etc etc, I chose to get myself out of the rut on the 1st and working on being AF and NF. I have been just thinking about life's choices and my son, going to the gym and even of its just walking on the treadmill with my book it's a step in the right direction.
So far feeling better and have a clearer out look, thanks all without you all this would be even more difficult, still one day at a time as it always will be no matter if its December or January.

Good Morning to you all - Jan how are you doing? Hope all is going well for you....

Juja - at the risk of jumping in where i don't belong, how can i put this..... you NEED to stay here !!! Just my opinion but I know the others will agree. I shouldn't say anything 'cos I rarely post here but I felt so sad when I saw your post! When you feel as you do, this is when you NEED to stay close to here and never be embarrassed either - we have all been where you are - some of us still ARE where you are. It doesn't matter how many times you start again - as long as you keep being aware - I think, anyway !! I know I have to be aware - and sometimes it stares me in the face. :l to you.

Love, Sun XX

Sunni - thanks for jumping in!!! You know how I feel about things. Thanks for telling Juja.

FT- good job on you. I do think exercise is important and I need to get back to that. You sound really good.

JUJA - Of course you belong here. I would be hurt if you left us. We are in this together. :l:l This is One Step at a Time. I've been stumbling for the past couple of weeks. Take a couple steps and then fall back. But, I'm holding my hand out to you. Let's keep taking those steps. You are so right that you need to focus on you. That is my problem too. I think it's the problem of many people here. I think coming here & posting is a good step. Please keep posting. Please stay here. You are a great support on this forum. I'm sorry that you are struggling now. But, since you are struggling it is even more important for you to be here.
Loads of love & hugs going out to you right now. :h:h

Don't you dare go anywhere girlfriend! We NEED you to be here. YOU need you to be here! I can understand what you're going through...I did it for years. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming, but we all know that alcohol is not the answer...numbing our feelings does not make them go away, in fact they usually come back with a vengeance. Please hang in there and post whenever and whatever you need to...we are HERE FOR YOU!! :h

Nora - I'm glad you are back on the AB since you are struggling too. Just keep TTDP!

Dottie, Paula, FT, Sunni...stick close when times get hard. Hope you're all doing well!

Where's Mama?
