          The rant is based on this: EDIT: deleted for bull shit factor


          At several points throughout this journey people, my closest friends sometimes, suggested that I was suffering from some sort of collective hysteria and 'finding' side effects. pfffft.
          Also, it was suggested that I should just. quit. drinking. Even though that is NOT what the people in question did. Even though I couldn't have just. quit. drinking. Until I did. (look at photoman's response on page 2 or 3 of this thread. He'd been on bac for 4 months when he 'decided' to stop drinking! But he suggested that I make a decision to quit drinking at that point in my journey. pfffft. what the fuck ever. Hindsight being 20/20 and also really blind I would not so humbly suggest that people refrain from offering advice that is exactly contrary to their own experience. I don't include you in this category, bleep. Just the opposite.)

          The SEs bleep reported happened to me over and over and over again. I had to work, had to be present, had to manage the SEs and manage several lives. It was excruciating. Made worse when people suggested there was something wrong with me, or that I lacked commitment, or wasn't strong enough.

          I internalized all of that. And I think we can all agree that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with me that would keep bac from working. Or that I lacked commitment. And if you doubt whether or not I was strong enough, ha! enough said about that. I'm plenty strong, mentally and physically.
          So are the other women around here who are struggling. This rant was for them, mostly. But also fair warning for those that have an internal dialogue that suggests something other than the fact that taking bac is tough. I'll have to amend and edit all of this, I suppose. Fortunately there aren't that many who are up yet!
          Going for a run. Will reflect and assimilate while I'm sweating!

          EDIT: I really should've gone for a run first.
          Sorry.

                  (Just saw the ad -- I don't live in the U.S., as you know).
                  Weighing in the important goings on here, I just saw this. Is it true? The man is ruined in my mind if he's done that. That will doubtless ruin his day.

                      So let me say this loud and clear:

                      I WAS WRONG! PLEASE DISREGARD ALL THE DIVISIVE STUFF IN THAT POST!

                      I wrote it, I ought to be able to take it back. Period.
                      I said I would not delete but might decide to change it later, later was about 60 seconds. Perhaps you need to stop jumping so much.

                        to bleep, re. eminem:
                        I think it might be true.
                        A guy's got to support his habit, his baby-mommas and his entourage somehow doesn't he?

                        do you know chumbawumba? They sold an ad to GM (general motors) for a commercial. Then they gave the money, all of it, not just the proceeds, to a group that organized a boycott against GM. The group used the money to air commercials about how bad GM is.

                        :H:H:H

                        My kind of people. The music rocks too. Especially the song, Mary, Mary.

                        Every line rings true for me. Going to put that on repeat and run now. really. I promise.

                            I'm quoting your whole reply so there's an external record of it. I thought I was losing my mind during that whole little episode. Lots of fun though, thanks.

                            Any artist who sells his soul out for an advert just hits rock bottom, if you ask me. That Chumbawumba story is very cool though, they get 10 points.

                              Plus the lead singer dumped a jug of water over the Deputy Prime Minister's head at a gig, so they're OK in my book.
