    Twitching toes

    OK, I had planned my evening to go to Yoga and fulfill my night with exercise and breathing, then I picked up the phone numerous times to cancel but didnt...so strong! THEN my friend rings to tell me that we cant go til Wednesday now... SO MY FIRST THOUGHTS ARE: YIPPPPEEEEEE, we can drink beer. The other half is away and will never know. Even tho I think he knows when I am telling tall tales anyway. I have spent the whole day anxious about it all and now I am like a kid at Christmas because I know I will go home and drink. I already have told myself thats what we are going to do, so we will start tomorrow, but tomorrow never seems to come!

    So I have failed before I have even began - woe is me.:upset:

    good intentions hey! u could always do yoga at home an not drink beer but it sounds to me like u have already decided 2nites plan, im really not judging in no position to judge, it s hard to re programe your brain isant it, as soon as the seed is planted thats it let the rollar coaster begin, i ve had a horrible weekend of not speaking to my partner, 3 nights on sofa an still not looking good, i think im slowly sliding down to rock bottom, hell i thought i was there already but obviously not,

    i hope tommorow does come for u, dont drink 2 much if u r gonna, keep in mind the plans u have made for yourself xxx

          Hi Finkle and TryingsoHard,
          I know what you mean about the 'mindset'. I too am often in that position of oh goodie, plans cancelled; which were put in place to distract me in the first instance; now I can have a few drinks and not worry. So, what I intend to try to do now is immediately make another plan to occupy that empty time and I figure that if I have to go out to do something I will not start drinking (until later) as I have to drive! Worth a thought?
          Sorry you have had such a tough weekend (TSH) and that the forecast not good for the week ahead. Try not to drown the sorrows, perhaps just dampen them if required. Thinking of you.

            Hey Finkle and All!

            Today is the day I had decided to stop. So far so good. My hangover from my birthday party is quite the bad one so it's not easy. Right now I think the only thing that would make me feel better is a drink but have not given in so we'll hang in there.

            Rachel, I have been following your threads and you sound like someone I could relate to. There just a few things about your posts that I really understood. You seem to be very hard on yourself, which I do too and it may feel warranted but it doesn't do one any good. You know what they say about guilt? It seeks punishment!

            Finkle, you taking your dog for a walk today? Try make plans that don't involve drink! (as I see Butterflybe said!)

            Hang in there girls and we'll see tomorrow if I got through my first day without alcohol!
            Full is not nearly as heavy as empty, my love...

                Thanks guys for tips...

                I only had six beers in fridge and was determined not to buy more! But I did, so any way, back to square 1.

                Tonight I plan to pamper myself :-)

                I have been follwoing Rachels threads too, and you are indeed very hard on yourself. I also love reading Rachels threads, you are a very vibrant person..

                  morning, i got 2 b hard on myself finkle, i been making bullshit excuses all my life so it s about time i got realistic an give my ass a good kicking,

                  bf actually didnt drink last nite, was horrible, i could see him watching everycan i drunk, which was 6, not counting the morning 1s, they never count, or the afternoon 2,! thats the morning medicine,

                  how sad is that drinking beer from a mug at 7am hugh,

                  not 4 much longer, belive me i ve tried not 2 but i cant work pouring with sweat an shaking like a giant vibrator! especially when im waitressing,

                  i have 2 go to the best bus stop in the world 2day after work, its on the doorstep of the pub, everyweek i say im not going in, we will c today?

                  i dont know if u read my story, it s under rachel28, i had a name change,

                  anyway have a goog relaxing night,

                    I read your story Rachel28. Soon, I should have the guts to spill mine. You have had some hectic stuff happen to you in your life. We all have different things and different ways of dealing!

                    Not going to the pub...yes, my dilemna which now has fixed itself in quite a negative way- I'm too embaressed to show my face. It's good not to be going as often (now hopefully not at all) but I feel disconnected from the world now. I got so trashed at my party that I don't think I actually had one meaningful conversation! Go figure. Alcohol has separated me from everything good in my life so it's now time to separate myself from alcohol.

                    You'll be so proud of yourself if you just get on the bus. Have you read Mags' post today? Just one small step. It's good, we make it out to be so big before we even get there, decide before we even get to point of decision!

                        I'll come back to read. Have to take my first step of the day and get up and start the chores. This is literally how it is, like I said in reply to Mags post, getting out of bed is a challenge at the moment. I left my job without thinking of the consequences and now feel guilty and am punishing myself with hopelessness! Round and round we go. I think alcohol has driven me into depression. Have to find a job and have no enthusiasm to do so.

                          Rach - you make me laugh out loud hehehehe... I have a good (not rude) shaking vibrator story for you, I iwll PM to you hahahaha, oh thinking about it is making my eyes water.

                          Anyhooo, I read your story and as del. said you have had a "rough trot". Do you do any meditation/ relaxation exercises. My BF also monitors ALL my drinking, it is so frustrating, but necessary I geuss. My on going argument is that he prefers to lay on the couch staring at the idiot box and I am happy to sit outdoors (even when its 2deg) reading and drinking... So he doesnt meet me half way! Thats my excuse hehehehe...

                          As for never showing my face in the pub again, that is a TERRIBLE feeling, hence the reason why I stay home...:H
