Hello All,
Thought I would give Bessie a break fom it all and seeing as I am officially awake at 12.30am on Irish time it means it is officially a new day - Monday!!
Bessie, I know you want a break from being the first one to have to post every morning, I do not mind doing it for awhile mainly cause we are on similar timeframes and from a more selfish reason I think I really need it at the moment but I think it would be good to hear from others if they want to keep the thread going - does it help any one else??? - I know sometimes the thread can get very entertaining and funny and that is great but also for some of us that do not feel so good sometimes it equally needs to be a place that we can report that we are not so feeling so good or not doing well. If Bessie wants a break I am quite happy to start it for awhile allebeit it may not always be as funny as Bessie without all the lovely animal stories (unfortunately).
I personally am just back from a week away with my family and it was great but I have to admit that AL invaded every part and I drank like a fish all week. I feel that mentally and physically I have subjected my body to yet another unnecessary challenge and I will seriously pay for it. I am straight into a very demanding work week and feel very unprepared for it which I know is a double edged sword of booze causing me to not cope very well stress/panic wise and destroying brain cells not helping me to concentrate but at the same time complete lack of AL would send me into complete panic overdrive so I have used some Al over the weekend just to help.
For me at this moment in time it is a balancing act between the physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms and getting through what I have to do. I know it seems like an excuse but I cannot deal with total AL withdrawal unless I can clear some actual time in my life where I can release some work and childcare duties. I have one close relative that i can explain some of the reasons why who could possibly help me with childcare and I think that is what I will have to do. I am finding it too hard to cope with everything. To get some of my work stuff done I have to ask someone to help with childcare.
I would love to be wonderwoman but I am not and I have to learn to cope better and prioritise.
Anyway, sorry to start the day on a not so funny note but that is where I am personally at the moment. Certainly the week away has provided me with more evidence as to just what effect AL has on me and just how shite it makes me feel
Best Wishes,

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
