Good Morning everyone from rainy, grey Europe,
Welcome to any newcomers and hello to my "other Family", hope things are going well for everybody.
Thank you so much for your posts yesterday, we can all relate to each other can't we, the guilt, the panic, the black-outs, the checking the phone history, the hiding, the recycling bin, the shame, the hurt, the unexplained bruises, our tears, our families tears, the list goes on and on doesn't it? Anyway, just thought I would remind ourselves why we are here. Once again I feel so humbled to "know" you all, you mean so much to me that it brings tears to my eyes, thanks for being there all of you.
Start of day 11 AF for me and yeh, yeh, yeh, my package arrived today so I'm about to dive into it, can't wait.
Nancy - thanks ever so much for your thoughtful and helpful words, the get together has been cancelled but there are other social events on the w/e and next week. I have been avoiding anything social and it's great as there is no temptation, but that's not living in the real world is it? I loved your words "just think it's not permanent", I'll use them when I have to, thanks you were a great help to me. I don't really have any goals as yet - I'm just taking it 1 day at a time. PS Nancy I love the way you count your days I think it's a good idea not to put the counter back to 0.
Bird - how are you feeling today? maybe you should see the DR if you are feeling so tired all the time, are you trying to do a bit of exercise? Things will get better, they will and we are all behind you and sorry to see that you are not feeling your best. XXX from us to you.
Janice - how did you get on with your package. how is your MUM?
Amanda - where are you? Are you still opening the B&B? You must be ever soooo busy.
Retteacher - I can so relate to everything you say, such as from leaving the heavy drinker stage and passing over to the alcoholic drinker (hiding, drinking alone), and it happened to me about 6 years ago also, let's get this sorted out!
Aquamarine - I love the sound of your journal, and yes the stress of hiding the drinks, bottles etc. it's just not worth it is it?
Luckyone - Welcome to our family and congrats on day 2 and hope to hear from you today.
Ducky - you are doing great with your mods, let me know how you do it!
Julie001 - You are really getting back on track, imagine being able to go out for a lunch without alcohol, heaven, congratulations.
Zincityzen - You made me laugh so much telling us that your recycling bin "blew away", brilliant.
Kitty - Yes we all have lists upon lists of mad, embarrassing things we have done whilst under the influence, try to let them go they are in the past now. Hope you are feeling less exhausted today.
Lorelei, Brilliant posting, hope you found a punch bag at the gym.
I want to mention everybody because you are all so wonderful, but we are becoming so many it's impossible unless we spend all day writing one message, but a big thanks to each and everyone of you for your messages of support and love and for carrying us through yet another day of fighting this disease.
Love you all.
