I've disappeared for a while. I got very, very busy both the good and the bad but am back now. Wanted to check in to see how all my pals are doing here? I must admit, that being away was okay at first however, I've hit a snag in my life that is causing a great deal of stress and somewhere around day 23 or 24, I caved and had some drinks. I think I clearly need better coping skills, however, I should have also come here for support.
I don't intend to kick myself all over the place, I had come here to find strenght to either be AF or moderate and didn't expect myself to be perfect the first time around. Heck I hadn't gone three weeks in a very long time. So, I shed my tears of anger then said, okay, day 1 again. Now I am on day 4 and feeling fine. Not going to do my self esteem (what there is of it) any good to kick myself all over and it will only make me want to go back.
So, my learning process has taught me to make the time to come here or reach out to someone when I am really in need. For me, it is when I am extremely stressed. I also need to find a ritual. So tonight I thought I'd say hello, wish everyone well and relex. I need it.
