Glad you had a good day...me too...and day 3. We will get there!

[paulywogg]

We will Daisy,glad you're here and great job on day 3 Mr.G "they" say its healthy to drink coconut oil, no laffs

Pauly, I bought some coconut oil when I was in the carribean last week. Not sure if I'm going to like it but it's supposed to be so good for you in so many ways! Do you use it for anything else?

[paulywogg]

Hey Liz,yeah I use it on skin,hair,when Louie used to get diaper rash,etc,don't care for cooking with it though,too expensive and sometimes food picks up the flavor,trust me coconut flavored scrambled eggs are gross haha

[starty]

Well of course I want it to stick,looking back on all of this, I realize how lazy I've been about allowing booze back into my life again and again, a bad day,full moon,pms,it was Tuesday etc,I drank this last series of relapses a lot!the most I've drank since May and I tell you the fatigue and foggy head made me realize just what the hell I'vebeen ddumping into my body,in the past withdrawal would only last a few days,this time Istill feel weird aand its been 10 days,had a shitty day today and every psycho on a state check got paid and came into my shop just to piss us off!!and I'm tired,stupid clock change and I'm pms'ing but I'm breathing through it,I can do this crap!

Pauly that post has given me the kick up the arse I needed this morning. I am on day 10/11 and still feeling the effects. I keep expecting it to be all over but in reality how can it be? PMS, knackered here too with a shitload of work to get through Lets just keep on keeping on as they say

I'm on day 21.. Wow that number looks pretty good! I can't really believe I'm going to make 30 days in over a year and a half. I'm still feeling the effects, and went through pms last week. Brutal. I think I saw where Gman talked about the danger in a session. That's what happened to me. I actually was going to take the night off, but my daughter had a tantrum on the way home from daycare. Reading what I just wrote doesn't really look like mother of the year award stuff! And here I just meant to chime in on coconut oil! I use it for skin, hair.. I do for cooking if I'm using soy sauce.. Takes the coconut flavor away. And I use it instead of butter on my toast if I'm in the middle of a health kick. Great stuff.

Day 14,damn I was a tired grouch to hubs last night,total bitchlips! Just went to bed and watched"2 broke girls" pretty funny show been reading a lot here and on soberrecovery,getting my arsenal for when the heebie jeebies start,which I'm not in denial,they will come,its how I deal with them that matters,sleeping kinda weird but I think its more the time change and being so busy at work all week,cripes I still have Halloween decs up that I need to take down,positives today: I'm not hungover,me and hubs still love each other he forgives me for being a witch last night,haven't been craving sugar(weird) get to spend the day with Louie,have money to put in the bank,have money to pick up some small Christmas (bleh) items,yeah making it stick

[paulywogg]

Sunovabich,Kellie got fired!! She's been having paralyzing anxiety lately and I guess customers started to notice, feel so bad for her cuz I understand, anxiety for no reason is such a useless emotion,itl be ok,she'll find another shop quickly I'm sure,I'm pretty certain that the particular shop she was at was triggering the anxiety in a way anyways,too slow and too far to drive

[paulywogg]

Keeping on keeping on,yesterday kinda sucked!that's what happens when I allow al back into my life,it becomes a preoccupation again,goes for a bit then comes again,took a glutamine in the afternoon to calm my mind seemed to help,I'm a little irritated by the drama in the meds section,I'm glad I don't hafta go there for support cuz right now its a zoo!jeez,just let people sort themselves out,its none of my business but if I chose that route and I was new here,I'd head for the hills after reading around there, anyways,lazy Sunday here but that's ok,getting some equilibrium back and keeping it

[Guitarista]

Top of the arvo/evening to you Pauly. It's a beautiful Monday morning here. Just trying some coconut oil in my coffee. I think I like it.

Have a rippa my friend!

Iam a late comer to the thread and didn't read all the posts, hopefully we are still on this topic. Not saying I am out of the woods yet but I have a good feeling that I am on my way unless I choose to subotage myself as I have done before. What is really working for me is associating drinking thoughts with the devil whispering in my ear, I rebuke the thoughts and remind the devil of all the bad things he has done to me and iam not about to give him anymore opportunity to hurt me. yes I believe in angels and demons. Demons tempt us and drag us into drinking. I know God is on my side and saying no to the devil is a victory for God. When I refuse to cave in, in obedience to God, he supernaturally empowers me even more. Addictions is a battle for a soul by good and dark forces. Choose God, and watch what he does.
My protein shake, regular exercise also helps my body fight the physical cravings.

Maybe stay away from the med threads Paulwog? For a little while anyway? Know exactly what you are saying about it. No idea WHY i am reading there anyway, never took meds in the first place. Better take my own advice :moonwalk::moonwalk::moonwalk:

[paulywogg]

Me too Eloise! I'm just nosy Iguess
