    One Step at a Time - July 2013

    Hey Nora,

    I agree the grudges do nothing other than make us bitter, letting go and forgetting about it is the way to be. I have a sister that still focuses on shit that happened 40 years ago and if she wasn't so damn sensitive I'd ask "Isn't there anything going on now that's more important?". The quote from Dr. Dyer about not letting the wake row the boat rings true with me. Just let it go!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend. Pauly, it sounded like yours was a bit of a challenge and glad you made it through okay.
    2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

      JDG, I am impressed with your daily tally. Way to go, girl! And, yes, it was fine that you told Allankay that I post here.

      pauly, what an accomplishment to make it through the celebration intact. You and JDG are making progress. I'm so happy for you both. Oh, and yeah, give yourself some slack--you got the AL gene from your mother, but you're the one doing something about it. Btw, I recently found out the AL gene is on both sides of my family. Lucky me.

      Nora, good for you on setting the boys straight. I've been doing that lately, too. Family members' problems with one another aren't my problems. Relationships go in a straight lines. Triangles never work, and only cause more chaos. Leave me out of it.

      Day 2 here, and started the US manufacturer's AB tonight Hope it doesn't present the same SEs as the Rx from India. So far, I'm not sleepy like I was on the other one.

      Hubs is on a 3 day fishing trip, and I've had a marvelous day. Laundry's done, as is ironing, things are put away, and I'm actually well into a book. I feel so relaxed. I wish I felt that way when he's here. My problem, I think, except that he needs so-o-o much attention I scurry around to get away. Need to work on that.

      Have good night everyone.

        Hi all friends!

        I have been away from the site for a while, had ups and downs..
        Now i have been for a week binge and feel desperate. :upset:

        I need support and help and already reading posts it makes me more calm.

        Day 1 and trying to cope with anxiety and muscle tension.
        My Diazepam is finished and i hate going to GP again and ask for another prescription so will suffer today.
        Rescheduled my appointment with hairdresser and will be grey and miserable today
        The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

          Audrey- it's day one again for me as well. The anxiety is rough and my blood pressure is high. I do have some Klonopin to help but I'm holding off as long as I can. Let's make this quit stick!

              Hi Shelby! Lets' s go thru this Day..I am taking relaxing herbal pills - not really a big difference, maybe..
              Drinking a lots of water, relaxing music. Will try to go out for a walk - it' s hard to start moving but i always get benefit from fresh air and walk.

              Thanks Nora for welcome:l and this thread because somehow i don' t feel newbie anymore

                Hi Audrey and Shelby , it?s lovely to meet you. :welcome: back!

                Juja, Nora - I know I?ve said this a dozen times, but I honestly don?t know how you cope with everything on your plates. I think you two are doing a tremendous job just getting through the day and if harm reduction is all you can manage at the moment then welcome to the club! :h

                JDG and Pauly ? you both sound very positive! That?s so good to hear!

                Mama ? Between my BGP?s and my bitch bra, I?m off to set the world to rights! :H

                Day 4 of a low dose of the Cymbalta and so far so good. A bit of extra insomnia and fatigue and a really weird feeling sort of as if I need to yawn but don?t, but no tummy troubles and it seems to be having the added benefit of pain relief which is a huge plus side effect.

                  Almost 7 p.m. and after a crazy fight with my HB and despite he' s drinking beer i think i am safe. A bit worried about night sleep but anyway i am happy that i broke today my drinking cycle.
                  I know tomorrow will be better.
                  My daughter is coming to visit me from Europe in 3 days so i have only 3 days to recover and look not broken mum. I didn' t see her for 11 months and i don' t want to mess up my precious time with her which i am looking forward..

                      Welcome, Audrey and Shelby. Most of us are struggling, me included, so join our kind, and loving group. We're all here for a reason--to listen and support one another, and offer advice if we can. We have one anothers' backs.

                      Audrey, you're so right. You don't want your daughter to see a broken mum. Do it for her, and have a good visit.

                      Shelby, keep us informed as to how you're getting along. We'll worry if you don't.

                      JDG, I went to the Newbies Nest and realized you confused Juja (me) with Kuya. We're not one in the same, believe me, and no offense meant to Kuya!:H

                      Mama, have you heard from K-9? What's going on?

                      Hi Nora, GHE, FT, allswell.

                      Beautiful day here, after much needed rain yesterday. Excellent night's sleep with the AB, and not overly tired this a.m. I hope, I hope, I hope......

                      Helping Mom with her shower today, while she's wearing a catheter. YS says Mom wants to see dr for a permanent catheter. Will have to explain why that's not a good idea. This will be another new experience in my life of elder care.

                          Morning all,

                          Juja - sorry I must have miss read the post. But you both are wonderful, inspiring people. Stay strong my friend. It is so hard to care for ill parents. I helped take care of my mom for 18 months when I was 16. She was in a persistent vegetative state. Basically brain dead, but had sleep wake cycles. Very traumatic.

                          Shelby, Audrey welcome. The first few days are the toughest, but it gets better moment by moment. Stay close and post any fears or questions. We are here for you both.

                          Glass happy the meds are working better.

                          Nora, allswell good to see you.

                          Praying for a sober, safe, and sane Monday. I am off to put in more applications, and praying the recent DUI doesn't hurt my chances. I am adopting the don't ask, don't tell policy.

                          Love to all,
                          JDG

                            Thanks for all the welcomes :-) Woke up feeling much better on day 2. My plan is to stay busy today and go for a walk when the witching hour comes.

                              Hi again! I wanted to share this blog I've found
                              About | Tired of Thinking About Drinking

                              I'm still reading through it but I LOVE it. I've commited to her 100 day challenge and she's following up with me through emails. I find her postings so inspiring.

                                Evening Peeps,

                                Hope everyone has had a great day.

                                Shelby you sound good.

                                Been a busy day. I currently have 9 applications/resumes floating out there, searching for a job.
                                Surely one will land an interview.

                                Just wanted to check in before kids, and hubs get the computer. Still got to cook dinner, laundry, clean up, bath and then bed.
