    lol, x-posted Dottie, great minds think alike! But then simple ones seldom differ haha
    Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
    Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
    Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

      Thanks! I have decided that if I'm still feeling this way next week, that I will go ahead and take the AB. If the anxiety has gone back to normal, then I will just carry the pills with me.

        SKendall sent me this in a PM..I am not sure why I am being attacked yet again...
        "No boo hiss" Dottie, I refuse to engage in your
        romantic whatevers. B/C I remember you on the
        loamers thread, always complaining about your
        husband, when you joined subs, the same thing. I would never post against you, just acknowledge what you posted about DH honestly."

          As a response to the above this is what I have to say..
          No my husband wasn't perfect...yes he upset me and so I came here to vent rather than use alcohol to cope. I thought that was the point of this site. To have that thrown in my face at this point makes NO sense to me at all.
          He was not perfect...what husband/wife is???? Was I planning to divorce him..HELL NO....did I want him dead HELL NO....I defy any of you to lose your spouse suddenly and not drink to cope...I loved him and wouldn't have wished him any harm.
          I think I have accepted the things I can not change and exhibited the courage to change what I can and that is I am moving forward with my life and I know that is what he would have wanted.
          Attacking me here because I have created a new life only shows me that you really dont get it....

            Hey all,Dots,don't let it bother you,I think you've dealt with your hubs passing brilliantly tbh,I know that I'd have crawled into bed with AL for who knows how long,I know Skendall hasn't been feeling good lately but that's no excuse to pick on you,almost reminds me of that"madame" chick a while back,just brush it off and know that we all admire you and you are doing the right thing by living life!!! Nora,I was gonna say just have the AB with you just in case,its no biggie to need a hand if you need it,trust me you don't want another day 1 Mama,how's the job search? Fen,you too,find anything?wish we were on vacation with Liz,grrr,more coffee needed,much love to all

                    okay ladies, we all have things to gripe about but as Liz says, let's keep it classy! No one wins in a pissin' contest, everyone just gets wet... some things should be kept between each other or to ourselves, posting them publicly doesn't always help...

                      Nora, are you on any medications that address anxiety? If so, you might ramp up the dosage first, with your dr.'s permission...and I would take the AB along with as a precaution. Maybe some soothing zen-like music on your phone or ipod or whatever so that you can relax a bit?

                        Nora - keep the AB in your purse as a back up.....and call or text or post here....when is Casey's court date?
                        Dots - I admire how you are coping and care about SK.
                        I wallowed in bed and watched movies all day. I am meeting someone for coffee next week who has already made me an offer but I am mulling it over.
                        Narcissistic Bitch sent a courier to my house with my personal items and I had a crying jag, but I am absorbing that this is a good thing and I will be ok.
                        Hubs just walked in..I'll check back in
                        I love my family more than alcohol.:h

                          Mama, you deserve to wallow for a while. :heartbeat: What is the offer you received already?

                          Sorry about the courier delivery...karma will come back and bite your ex boss in the butt, trust me.

                              Is there a full moon or something? Hubby & I had a spat yesterday and I was in tears. Over something incredibly stupid. I saw some hurt feelings on here. Some friends have mentioned their moods too. Already had an incident between two employees. Very strange!

                              Anyway - I do not know if there is any history between SK & Dots. I care for you both. :hug: I am sorry that there is a disagreement.
                              Dottie - I also complain about my hubby but I would be devastated if anything would ever happen to him. I am so glad that you are getting out & meeting people, doing things. I am like Pauly that I would have crawled in bed with the covers over my head.
                              SK - I hope you are feeling much better.
                              I really hope that this misunderstanding can be worked out between you both.

                              Ok - thanks for all the advice about the AB. Casey's court date is next Thursday. I leave the next day to go up to Oregon. I will have AB with me at all times. I do have med for anxiety that I rarely take. I will have that with me too.
