Don't know how you do it Dreamy - I would be a real SLOB - proper trailer trash if I didn't have to go out into the workplace

Back from the doctors..........have to double up on my anti-depressants again and until they kick in got a teeny weeny dose of diazapam 2mg (valium) to take for now and only if really really bad...............
Mind you could have knocked me down with a feather when she prescribed the valium..............you need to have lost both legs and an arm to get a sick note from her.

just popping my head above the parrapet.

im reading, and struggling to get my mindset back on track. manana seems to be the main word, as it has been for the last few years. when i do get the right mindset, i can argue the toss with the al voice. but only for about 2 weeks. thats not good enough and need to be able to shove past that.

its never a day drinking either. 4 days so far, 3 of those i told myself i wouldnt. yep, addicted.

sober means i can venture out and do more.
do things i have been avoiding.
things i also have to do.
i dont want to do them.
easier to drink and avoid.
sooooo, not drink and avoid?

maybe.

i didnt used to avoid.
i drank and got stuff done.
when did this change?
when husband died.

ok.

i feel a pity party coming on.
avoid.
dont get anything done.


happy wednesday everyone!

and don't apologise to the dog -- give him a hug

Roxy what Molls said .....
But as we said yesterday - keep trying - one day it will stick.
Have you ever thought of taking Antabuse - Molls sent me some when I started out - it got me through some 'dodgy' moments .Takes away the choice .... "will I drink tonight" ? - you just CAN'T - so you go off and forget it. It's off the table.
Would you try that for the day you are drinking and you don't want to drink ??

Oh Roxy, me darling. I feel for you, I really do but the it seems to me you're recognising a pattern.............which believe it or not is good news.
Just off the top of my head Have you thought about a mood diary............just a line in the morning and a line in the evening..........then compare them.

Oh and I so relate to apologising to the dog. They're very forgiving aren't they.
