Better today

Hi,

I did post yesterday in Seascallion's thread. I am doing better today. I read some of the book last night. I still don't feel to great from my episode of drinking on Sunday but I did sleep some last night. I am working harder today. I ordered the meds. I am a little disappointed that I will not get them until June 28-July 7, but I am going to do the best I can.

I tried to talk to my friend about this yesterday but she did not really know what to say. I didn't tell my hubby I ordered meds because I don't think he will understand either. I have tried to explain to him that my desire for AL does not go away no matter what I do. I am trying to walk every day at lunch so hopefully this will help me.

I have been through a lot in a year. I had a hysterectomy, lost my job after 23 years (not because of drinking) it was a huge cut back, started a new job and still have it. I try to get active in church but just can't seem to commit. I need the spiritual interaction.

Any comments?

:colorwelcome: Tina! You have come to a fabulous place to get a handle on problem drinking. Good for you getting the book right away, and ordering up some of the great tools to help you get things under control - whether that is ultimately moderation or abstinence.

I am very sorry to hear about the challenges you have faced over the last year. Both of those events are no small potatoes - that is for sure. There IS one comment I will make that I know with 100% certainty is absolutely, postively true. ALCOHOL WILL NOT CHANGE THESE THINGS, NOR MAKE THEM GO AWAY. Whatever problems we have, alcohol makes them worse - not better.

Best wishes and I look forward to getting to know you better!!
