I read somewhere on here that being stressed and thinking we are ok is a red flag.

So, are you supposed to fall apart when stressed?

Ignore it?

Acknowledge it? But then what?

Ffs, this woman owing me Money has been 2 years in the making, that's been a good length of time to build to the crescendo it has become.

I acknowledge that. I accept it. People deal with this sort of thing all the time.

But it has made me drink. Another ffs.

Thanks for the rant.

Re. worries ----- mmm -- like Benjy I sometimes don't know I'm worrying about something -- but most of the time I DO know --- then I categorize them --- the ones I can do nothing about --- I absolve myself -- mainly to do with the 'kids' -- and I just let it go --- and I'm able to do that now --- then there's the ones I can do something bout but don't --- now I do..... (do something) - in the past I let things fester or stay in the background (can be little things like finances or even just paying bills) and I let them drift on -- always in the back of my mind --- now I grab a hold of them mostly ---- and get them out of my way

That's it really --- imvho - there are only two kinds of worries - ones we can do something with, and ones we can't...... had to learn to know the difference tho

Brilliant:goodjob: but need to do Satz's meditation too

Perfect sense Off to bed to sleep now. Thanks:goodjob:

Nighters MrsA - hope ye have a peaceful worry-free sleep:l

What ye say makes perfect sense to me Molls. Can't think of one situation in which having a drink would make it better!

I remember when I came home from the treatment centre -- someone posed the question 'if you had 3 weeks to live would you drink?' --- and despite intensive therapy an all down there I had to say that posed a conundrum for me --- and on balance I did think well 'why not?' ---- and someone just asked me how I could even dream of wanting to spend the last 3 weeks of my life in a bottle when I could be spending it with people I love and enjoying them for my last time ---- thought that was rather 'worthy' at the time --- but NOW --- not in a million years would that be my option (to drink) -- it's probably the last thing I would want to do --- just a change of mindset I s'pose

Oh I dunno Molls- think we discussed this before here.

Hafta be honest and say if it were definite that I only had 3 weeks left on this earth- I wouldn't spend the whole time bladdered but part of me would like the idea of cutting lose one last time- Tell my childhood sweetheart that I always loved him:upset:, tell work (management) were to go :yay: go see Canada, tell all my family, even the nuts I love them!! Ah here! I wouldn't need to be drunk to do any of that, would I?!

Edit- think have totally contradicted myself here! Good question Molls. Really does set one off thinking
