New here and starting Topa and with a question
Oh, what a sad bunch we are.... WTE, you and yout Topa Cobana better swoop in and cheer us up. Even Houtx and her colourful words would do.
I had 2 glasses of wine last night. *sigh* I couldn't have more as I still had some Antabuse in my system even though I quit it a while ago. I didn't really feel anything except a headache - thanks for that universe! :durn:
It was always my intention 30 days AF, a break and 30 days more AF. Topamax takes away all my cravings so the only 2 times I missed drinking was once when I was REALLY happy and once when I was REALLY sad. So its not really alcoholic thinking, well it is, but I think with training I could learn how to handle my emotions in another way.
I probably shouldn't even have to say it but this but please don't let my pattern affect any of yours. I didn't have fun last night. It was nothing more than an anticlimax really. And all I have to show for it this morning is a headache. So to all your abbers, stay with your path and do what is best for YOU.
WTF WTE... It seems that the Topa is finally kicking yer ass. One of them days you're going to look at the wine in your fridge and say 'PFFFT, WHOSE YOUR MOMMA?' As in its your bitch not the other way around.
Oh Sun, you don't always comment on how well the Topa is doing for your drinking but I'm assuming its working for you in general. As for an extra Guinness or two after the week you had honey, its OK. I know other people will judge me for saying that but I *think* I know you well enough to know what kind of drinker you are and that you're not going to be totally irresponsible here. Were you ever in the past or is it not something you'd like to talk about? Its just that you sometimes sound to me like a *normie* and thats a compliment! :l
How is Mr Sun treating this, I take it he is being loving and supportive as he must see the strain you are taking as he is suggesting a puppy. All our animals are rescues but the two cats were kitten rescues so that way they are less emotionally damaged. The doggy is very damaged but we get on fine. Take some time out to heal and I think your DH is right, get a puppy that can last you a very long time. Or even better - get two! It won't help now, nothing will. Just perhaps try to think of this in a Winnie the Pooh kind of way (or read the Little Prince book over the long weekend to cheer you up) Perhaps dear Maggie needed him.
And you try to get some sunshine and daisies today. And a guest post on my garden blog won't hurt.
Wildflowers, wow, your story is intense. Never worry about soundy looney here. You are among kindred spirits. Well I know I have some strange ideas about how the universe works and Sunny also has some of her own concepts. It turns out most of us are open to various concepts of God and the universe which is great as it makes me feel more comfortable. You are safe here. We do not judge. I cannot speak for the lurkers but no one has ever said something here that was not said in the spirit of support, love and care. So please feel free to share whatever you like.
The story about your dog gave me goose bumps. I'm a bit more of a cat person, probably because I'm a bit more like a cat. I do like Spaniels/Bassets though, they are super cute. Perhaps you should work with animals then. That way you can be close with them without having to worry about bonding too much.
Space, like I said. I think the Gabapentin did make a big difference in your mood and your cravings and it worked for you like Topa do for us. I don't know you THAT well and this is the last time I'll say this but if you want to consider Topa or read the MWO book, let me know. Otherwise, be kind to yourself and please ensure that you speak to your doctor if you are feeling extra down.
So how is the annoying Mr Oliver treating you in his DVD's. Don't you just wish you had his garden though (even if it is in Essex) Remember that if you like tomatoes, peppers and chillies, just pop the seeds in some pots. I bought a bad of peat moss and now I use potting soil, a cm of peat moss, a sow the seeds, and add another cm of peat moss. The moss is super excellent for making ANYTHING grow but use it scarcely as I don't thin, its really good for the environment to use to much of it.
Also, do you know this website: Compare supermarket prices | Online supermarket shopping | Save and compare on Health and Beauty products - I signed up because I thought I was/maybe still am going, it seems to have quite a lot of savings potential.
Cheery bye everyone. And no, no news from the one we do not mention yet.
