Operation October - week three

Congratulations for the end of week three! I have a hideous headache but can take comfort in that I did not do it to myself. I went to a non alcohol related funeral in the midst of it this afternoon, lovely funny lady younger than I with much to live for. There is a party for her now but even if I wasn?t half blind, it wouldn?t be wise for me given my recent history with sweet milestone toasts. Speaking of this, I really, really hope I have not ever served as a negative or confusing influence here. I hope that I never conveyed any sense of success due to curiosity, mood, or experimentation. I understand that reading about people drinking can make it harder and I really hope I don?t fail again in November. I don?t think I will. Love, Ladybird.

Operation October - week three

Hi everyone,

Lil, I don?t know that I?m exactly looking forward to the holidays, but I?ll keep and open mind! Hope we will all be here together through the season. :l

I do love Halloween though! Mica, I loved reading about your jack-o-lantern making night! I could use a shot of second childhood, or just plain old fun. Maybe I will get a couple o? little pumpkins and carve some scary faces.

Peanut, I copied the cookie recipe down and will definitely give it a try. Thanks they sound delicious.

Pam, yes, the L-glut works for me, too. Thankgoodness!

Go Em! You are doing great to have your beverage of choice chosen in advance. Enjoy your company and the games!

Red, I had those thoughts too, if I quit drinking things would be better. And I agree that for the most part they are, BUT?I drank to cover a lot of stuff up and of course those issues are still there and need to be dealt with. I don?t know, counseling? I drag my feet at the idea, but may give it another shot at some point. I do feel that at least without alcohol in my life I might actually be able to work through some things instead of just ignoring them.

Cyn, I?ve never been very good at taking pills, so getting into the habit has taken some time, but I?m better at it now. I do think they help.

Ladybird, your posts are always filled with insight and wisdom. Thank you for sharing what is on your mind. I am still learning about my feelings and thoughts about drinking and learn so much from everyone?s experiences. And this wouldn?t be a support board if we couldn?t share the whole aspect of what drinking or not drinking means for us at any given time.

Sooty, Lav, Dill, BeingPresent and all, have a happy AF Friday :rays:
