Almost 24 hrs AF

[Barbie Ellen]

Well I wrote my first thread this morning and havent gotten much work done today at the office due to being on this site all day and reading everyones stories and thoughts...what inspiration.
Now it is time for me to go home, usually I stop and see my favorite bartender and have a few glasses of wine before I go home, not tonight! I am gonna go home play with my puppy and get back here. I am sure it will be a stressful evening once my husband comes home and we discuss our relationship and where it is going. It is either over or in need of some major repair, I really cant say much as I have done all the damage, so I guess it is his decision. Whatever happens I will TRY and stay strong and keep AF.
At least I know I have you all to talk to and that is comforting!

Thanks so much,
Barbie

You can do it Barbie and you will feel so great in the morning. This site does get very addictive so plan your days around it!

I have two dogs myself, great stress relievers they are. All they want is for you to love them and to love you back. No matter how bad my day is when I walk through the door and they are going up the wall with excitement to see me, I smile. Have fun with your puppy and I hope it all goes well with you tonight. I can't imagine the pain of a divorce, so I definetely don't want to see you going through one of those. And congrats on the not stopping at the Pub!!! Yah for you!!!!

Hi Barbie. I hope things go well for you tonight. These first few days can be very confusing and difficult to manage, but soon you will be feeling so much better. Try not to burden yourself with too much until you are feeling a little better and more able to handle the stress. I wish you luck this evening. I will be waiting to hear from you.

Hi, real glad you made a decision to go and play with you puppy! Nothing like a puppy licking your face and its cute breath! Ya know, I was having problems with my husband and I have to say you think a drink will help but, no it does not. Alcohol needs to come out of the relationship and then things get better and start to click! It is happening to me right now. So, I am glad to see you went straight home....very good for you! Best of luck to you....

Hi im new here

Not sure how this board works yet so if im posting in the wrong section let me off this time. Ive never looked for help like this before but cant go to doctors and speak openly to anyone anymore. I wake up each morning feeling like crap but do still try to make a go of the day, i do well till about 3pm it slowly goes downhill from there. Im just so scared of losing those close to me coz of my drinking they dont realize how much i need it id be gutted if i lost all that for booze, hoping you guys might be able to help me through this:new:
