Hiya, Space!
oy. What a week!
How's your hand? And the keyboard? And your mood? And the insomnia?

Getting sober with bac still has some of the same e/affects as other methods, I would guess. The emotional roller coaster, the insomnia and mostly the doubt and the wanting and the frustration and the...rest!

Just wanted to let you know that it's okay. We've all been there. And it gets MUCH better. And smoother.
Glom on to those feelings of love and compassion and the lack of despair!!! Those SEs (or whatever) gave me much hope about the promise of what a future without booze would be like. And it's happened! (Though I'm still a cranky, mean, demanding/judgemental/annoying/needy Pain in the butt sometimes. Whatever. To add insult to injury I've got noone and nothing to blame. THAT is very annoying. :upset: I'm working on it...Someday I'll be peeeeeerrrrrrrrrfffffffect. Right? :H)

How's your day today?

You're so right!
I hope a bunch of people around here don't feel the need to start reminding me in how many ways that ain't the case.

And, so? The milk? The keyboard? The hand, insomnia, love and compassion? What's going on over there 'cross the pond?

Hope you're snoozing atm! I'll check back tomorrow! Bac(k) to the books for me!

Took me a bit to figure that one out! :H

Hope you are doing OK space. You and your coconut. I am sorry to hear about the insomnia and emotional ups and downs. I can for sure second what Ne said about that being part of sobering up no matter what the method. I can definitely relate to those "up" feelings of loving the world and being really, really happy. No amount of drinking ever gave me that good of a true happy feeling. But....I've also had those down sides too.

That will level out a bit with time! I'm also having to learn how to deal with emotional ups and downs that are just part of life. Instead of running for my bottle to "change the way I feel" every time something good or bad or happy or mad happens.

Oy. I can also relate to the sleep stuff. Valerian root and plenty of magnesium is what seems to help me the most. FWIW.

One day at a time together we can make it!

Hi Ne DG, an all, I have been shit:upset: for want of a better word, I have felt ill for what seems like weeks now (I know its not) and so today decided it must be the bac so stopped taking it, i have come to my senses now and taken it, my laptop keyboard is not funny I am having to cut and paste d's and other letters I have to press about 5 times:upset: I have ordered a new keboard on ebay for ?10 hope it works I feel so low m son asked me if I was ok the other night and I burst into tears, I dont want to do anything, cant watch tv, cant talk, if the phone rings I feel like smashing it, my cooking has gone awful I cant be bothered naking any nice food, even my coconut was shit:dang: it smelled yuk. I am not a happy bunny today but at least im a sober one

Hi there, I am feeling a bit better today, lets hope Im starting to turn a corner with m moods, I have been to the optctian and ordered new glasses so by next week I am hoping to have a new working keyboard and be able o see it. How great is that! I f this had happened when I was drinking I would have carried on with my pound shop glaases and binned my laptop, then used that as an excuse to feel sorry for myself even more and get pissed. I have been to see he health worker this week over m cholestral and she has given me a healthy eating book, but when I asked her why does it ell me to avoid coconut oil she insists is full of bad fats and never eat it I looked this up in my coconut oil book an that says health workers often say this an they are wrong, who am I supposed to believe? my brain is already confused whithout this sress of should I shouldnt I coconut or not oh well it makes a change from he question being to drink or not to drink

:H
I'm pretty sure that it will not cause impending arterial doom or immediate answers to life's persistent questions...
I still haven't opened either of mine, though, so who knows? I can say that I'm pretty sure that the others who are using it aren't dead. That's good.

Hang in there. Glad to hear about your glasses and your keyboard. Funny how much we get to take care of when we're not, what'sit over there? Pissed.

'course when I'm pissed I get a lot accomplished. It's very motivating. It also doesn't have anything to do with booze.
anyway!
Hope tomorrow's as good as today! or better even!

Felt ok today, been shopping in the market with my mum and went to get a reiki treatment an rune stone reading, I was not sure what the where and to be honest am still not sure whether the gu was for real or a rip off merchant. The reiki was very relaxing and then I had the rune stone reading, then he asked me if I want to go to the yoga and psycic develpoment groups there, they cost ?5 each so it would cost ?10 for both on a mon evening, then another guy came along who started telling me about his mediation an hypnosis he does there, then it was more hugs and blessed be's then I got off, maybe Im just a cynic, if I had gone to an ordinary place say a gym I would have expeced them to try and sell me classes, but as soon as this John guy mentioned money I immediately thought he was a scammer.
