Inchy,

Two days after my last drink, my husband ended up in the hospital with a very scary prognosis. Then my mom in the hospital. Then my husband again.

Rather than looking at it like WTF?? I tried the AA trick of thinking of gratitude, helping to change my attitude.

I decided I was completely grateful I was sober and could be there for them. In fact, in the case of my hubby's second stint, if I had been drinking that night and passed out around midnight, he may have not made it. Really felt some gratitude after I finally got some sleep. :-)

Give thinking about something, anything, to be grateful for a whirl. It really helps. I now do it every day. Even thinking about the little things. Helps your view point, brings a smile to your face and in general makes the day go better.

Hang in there.

Cindi

Good one Cinders, even simple stuff like being grateful for having a place to sleep, roof over head that sort of thing can work too.

I always found I'd start to get panicky certain number of days after drinking, was all part of a cycle for me.
