Hello on Friday

[Happy Now]

Greetings to all-

I just finished reading Sober is the New Black--excellent book. I could have written it, very similar story to mine.

I was thinking earlier about what alcohol does to a person. This is what I was thinking--
It makes:
A respectable person shameless
A quiet person loud
A kind person mean
A shy person promiscuous
An otherwise healthy person sick sick sick....


I hate being the way I am. I hate being among the people who have a real problem with drinking. I wish I was "normal". Not sure where these fellings are coming from but today they are there.

On a different note-no baby yet. My daughter is large and doing well.

I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend

Hello on Friday

Hi Ann, and Happy Friday to you too! Sorry you're having feelings that trouble you; hope they pass quickly and quietly.

I think I recall you mentioning that you're using Antabuse as a quit aid? Asking because I am too, and like to hear others' experiences.

If you care to share about that, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Pie

Hi Ann,
I am sorry your alkie brain is focusing on these thoughts, they are so unproductive. They too easily can lead you back to drinking because the don't make you feel good about yourself. Maybe some kind of meditation is needed? I can't remember how much AF time you have, but many successful people here have shifted their focus to gratitude. Perhaps the tool box thread contains a tool you could use when these thoughts surface. Or maybe just stop by here to read and post on the gratitude thread.
