    AF Anyone??

    Hello my friends,
    Just had a good read of the posts.So nice to see you all checking in whatever.

    New Life,love your spirit -glad to see you have found your coping mechanism,with the exercise.It sure does help.I know as a single mum myself who's been through the separation thing,with the kids spending most of their time with you then off to dad's for some specail time(because thats easy on a part time basis)how hard and hurtfull it can be.Yes you are right in that whilst we have them you can never get away from it,and just have to make the most of the good days.Keep going,you are doing just great xx

    Betsy,Sorry to hear you had a slip,but please don't dwell on it too long.Try to look forward.You have made progress and try to draw strenghth from that.xx

    Ripple,You are so right about this time of the year,for a lot of us its often dark,and dreary.Spring seems a long way away.We do need to make allowances for that.Well done for not drinking,and i think a few puffs is a great compromise.I bet you look lovely.xx

    Prose,Sweetie!Thats my girl, keep on trying.That hand will heal.Sending you some special healing xx

    Cindi,It was great to see your post.Always full of encouragment.Hows things with you?xx

    Cuckoo,I was so sorry to hear that you have been feeling sad.You are entitled to feel sad,you have been through a lot.You don't deserve to feel angry with yourself though.Just look what you have achieved,and how far you have come.Remember we are here for each other on good and bad days-you can't give all the time.I think you are FAB,and i am sending you the biggest hug my friend xx

    Fjones,Same to you.Its about being ready.Try to stay close.Always an understanding ear here xx

    Diane,It takes a long time to get here,so it won't get better over night.Its a journey.Sometimes we loose our way a bit.Just keep that dream in your sight and follow it xx

    Amelia,I miss you.Check in when you are ready.Please make it soon.Much love xx

    I am off to bed.My holiday/hormone blues,a distant memory.Making plans to look forward to.So pleased we have each other.Will be back again soon.Take care xx
    PS.Sorry if i have missed anyone

      Wakup, thanks so much for the lovely sentiment. I'm feeling much better today and as newlife says exercising does do a world of good. Over the holidays I had slacked off a little but am getting back into the habit. So I'm hoping between the St. John's Wort, Evening Primrose, and exercise the weepies will soon be gone. I'm glad to hear your blues are a distant memory.

      NewLife, glad things are straightened out with the boys. I've been taking evening primrose but maybe I'll increase the dosage. I think I'm taking the absolute minimum they recommend. I'm going to take your suggestion and get out when I feel sad. Even if it just to the mall.

      Hope everyone is safe and attaining their goals. Take care.

        Hey everyone,
        glad to read all the posts. Wakeupmom, you are sounding really great. I have to say that exercise has really been helping me, especially the weight lifting. It feels so good to be strong!
        I am looking forward to longer days, we are only getting about 7 hours of sunlight here.
        I will be away for a week starting tomorrow, so everyone take care, good luck and hang in there! P

          Hello everyone,

          Dusting myself off today, too.

          Had a bad one yesterday but it DOES NOT NEGATE all the time AF. Absolutely not.

          I do hate being a drunk but what the hell, I am.

          I am, however, a drunk who is going to do the right thing. Taking on the responsibilty cloak and doing it.

          Today I will be sober.

          Love,
          Cindi

              Hi Guys,
              Apologies for being a lurker for so many days.
              Not feeling the best, but not feeling the worst either at the moment.
              Just have so many stressful things happening at the moment.
              And,....yes drinking a lot.
              Was waiting till I had a really 'positive' day to post.
              But kept thinking of you all and felt awful not posting.
              I am OK. Just want to be rid of the booze.
              Love to you all.
              xx

                Amelia - glad to see a post from you! I've been wondering if you are OK. Hope things look brighter in the next few days for you.

                I'm struggling right now but am back to day one and looking forward to more. Life got so stressful the past week and a half and I resorted to what I know best (wine). I gave myself a stern "talking to" today and will need to shape up.

                Hope everyone else is having a good day/week!

                Take care,
                Betsy

                  So good to sit down this am and read everyone's posts. Sorry I haven't been about. I have been working way too much and still it never seems enough. Same with drinking. But I am dusting myself off. I had a bottle and a glass last night as opposed to a glass. And still, truly that is good compared to two bottles which I have been known to neatly put away in an evening. So it is not moderation. But it is not as bad as it could have been. And it is not where I want to be. So I am dusting myself off.
                  I think I am afraid not to be drunk on some level. That compulsion sometimes feels like fear. Anyone else?
                  so much good cheer to all and hope,
                  Diane

                            Hi everyone. Started to do a long post but just got back from the shelter and I'm quite tired.

                            Amelia so glad you are posting again but sorry to hear you aren't feeling quite up to snuff.

                            Welcome, choicemood and sisterwoman. So happy to have you join the thread.

                            Wakup, thanks so much for bumping us up dear. You help keep us straight and I love you for it.

                            Prose hope you are having a great time and look forward to hearing about it.

                            Diane, Socal, like you I am still having a bit of a hard time. I think I am going to heed my own advice and try to set February 1st as my get serious date. No more excuses. Holidays are done.

                            Newlife, hope all is going well with you and your boys. I do find the exercising is helping but I'm still in a bit of a funk. I'm downloading music to make a very uplifting, empowering women's cd for when I get the blues. Already have about 8 tunes that I love to listen to.

                            Fjones, if you are out there I miss hearing from you and hope you are well.

                            Cindi, as always love you and thank you for being you. Your honesty is a blessing.
