Pretty small, and didn't last very long (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID).

Er, sorry. Anyway, I don't feel quakes too often, because when the earth starts moving I assume I'm too drunk, or having an acid flashback, or just panicky/confused. So I'm just excited to know that I'm noticing/not caring about a quake. Like a real Cal native...

:H That's some funny shit, Stuck. No, I'm not still up peeps. It's just my usual 3ish middle of the night wake up. I didn't even get out of bed.

No reason to get out of bed, Red. Don't even need to get a glass of water after, considering how small and brief that was.

Girls, I'm not even comfortable in my own skin, wearing clothes just makes it worse. Having said that, being back in Blighty and the temperature so freaking low, I'm keeping covered up.

Well, I seem to be the only one.

What is with you lot, going on about tits and knobs? I'm shocked.:H

Oh, my! I missed a lot last night! I met a great new friend for coffee, came home and crashed! I do have to say tho that us as a collective group of people are pretty damn cool! We can talk, filter free, and not worry about being judged for what ever imperfections, fuck ups, tragedies, whatever. I was so nice to sit (stand) and talk to someone openly and not worry about what they would think about my drunken antics, failures, etc. It is the same on here, too. I can get applauded for AF days or picked right bac up if I fall and drink. Ok, enough with the warm and fuzzies so early in the morning!!

Just for you M, clothing can be optional!! What ever makes you happy, and keeping us all in line! I, too was very impressed with your insight and no mention of, um, knobs or other body parts or functions!

I was in an exchange program when I was in 5th grade and spent a month in France. Even the swimming pools were clothing optional! Suffice to say, it left quite an impression!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day, afternoon!

Oh, blood tests came back normal! Even my liver and kidney functions! Woohoo!! At least my innards are normal!

Yay, great news about the tests, Taw. I've just had some done too and was extremely surprised to be told everything was within the normal range, as I always am. It's amazing how much abuse some of our bodies will put up with. But I keep having to remind myself that might not always be the case: the straw and the camel and all that. Or indeed, a donut and coronary heart disease.

I'm pleased to announce my appetite is back. Not so pleased to report that the SSRI I'm taking (Zoloft) is having the same SE as Prozac had on me. And it is extremely frustrating! I won't go into details because apparently you all like the new me who doesn't mention knobs and R.E.* anymore. :H

Taw, great about your new coffee friend.:l

* I'll send a sugar coated jam donut to the first person to work out what R.E. stands for.

Rectal energy, M???

Glad your appetite is back...mine is not...Prozac takes it away for me so now I only take that every other day so that I have some sort of appetite...I wish there was some kind of magic formula to figure all these meds out! I think it is more havoc on our bodies getting them straightend out then the actual cause for taking them!

[Bruunhilde]

Giving up....in a good way!

RECTAL ENERGY??? OMG Taw! :H

And here I thought "real estate" thinking he might mean other real estate on the body. But then I thought, this is Mx so of course its not that tame. So I thought Rectal Evacuation.

Bye now, gotta go poo.




:H:H:H

Giving up....in a good way!

For the life of me I could not think of the word evacuation! That's what I meant! So, energy is what I came up with! Made me laugh out loud typing it tho!!

Why am I so happy my mom's naked solitaire playing came up totally independent of me? Shouldn't I be ashamed or something? Nope. I just think it's hilarious you guys remembered it. I was about to suggest that maybe the moms here (while none of you seem interested in parading around naked) shouldn't worry so much about your kids ending up in nudity-related therapy, because, hey, I turned out alright, didn't I? When I realized that, no, I'm not alright. So my mom and her nakedness must be to blame for my alcoholism! :H There are other downsides to being as "free" as my mom is. That woman has had more bee stings in her crotch than any other person I know. And poison ivy. That she tries to show you. (Shudder.)
M, is RE "rapid ejaculation"? I was researching the amino acid L arginine recently and ended up on a chat forum where everyone kept referring to "PE", and I couldn't figure it out. I was on a penile enchancement forum. Ooops. Which is funny, because I'd brought up L arginine a long time ago to the BF for some of his drinking related...issues. And he started calling it "LARGE-inine".
I had a great day off yesterday, did some things that were very good for me psychologically. And I had a wonderful time. But I didn't do any packing. Haven't done any packing at all, as a matter of fact. Sigh. I'm going to try to do one thing for moving each day, no matter how small. Today I'm going to call different movers. Compare pricing and see if anyone's willing to move on a Sunday. My timeline has changed since dad reminded me that I have a court date in my home state on Monday the 27th. For sentencing. Moving then sentencing. Gross.
I was telling someone recently how glad I am that I (re)discovered MWO when I did. Yes, learning about bac was a huge breakthrough, but I don't think any med would have helped me without the support that I've received here. In the first few days after I took an AB, I was definitely planning on drinking again. And I knew that I could come here and no one would judge me for it. But I also knew that if I came here and said that I'd stayed sober, people would be genuninely happy for and proud of me. You guys would understand what an achievement 3 or 4 days AF is after years of daily drinking. And that motivated me then and continues to motivate me now. I just feel so lucky to have found a place and people that I feel comfortable being myself with. There's no way I'd be sober today without you guys.
So....thanks!:l

Windy, we love you too!!! And you are a great inspiration and source of support!! You are right about the endless, non judgemental support here. It is a great help! And I truly don't think I could have done any of this without this place. :h

So between NN (my ex husband) and the igits I work with, I am at my wits end! And I want to drink!! Full on, screw all the AF time, forget the AB, and drink. But I won't. Can't. I just as I was typing this realized, it is not even about the AL at this second. I will not let them get the best of me. (So, I may be a bit of a control freak! :H) It has been such an automatic response for so long I really don't know how else to react. I don't want to react. I want to be able to deal, walk away and let it go until the next time one of them asks an insanly stupid, they should know the answer, question.

So much had been replaced by AL...free time, reactions, thoughts, all that time and energy planning drinking, hungover time...now all that is free. What to do with it all and how to cope...there is a whole world outside of the bottle.

Sorry, sometimes these realizations just hit me and it is kind of overwhelming, in a good way. And a scarry way. And an almost panicked way. I think I can face it all head on, without the bottle, a little bit at a time.

oh you guys are just so sweet. this is why i love mwo and why i keep coming back. plus its to find out about things like l arginine...where might one buythat btw

taw bummer about the prozac and appetite. my doc assured me that zoloft didnt have the prozac side effects i hate. specifically Retarded Ejaculation. thats what the RE stood for. no one wins the donut. tmi moment ... its retarded beyond belief. i mean the ultimate retardation. its causing BB. i have a fresh donut for the first person to work out what BB stands for.

[StuckinLA]

Giving up....in a good way!

I could have that donut right now, but I'll just sit back and watch.

Windy you rock. Packing is my least favorite thing ever. But just one piece at a time, just like everything else. Hey--maybe that's why I hate it so much! Anyway it great to hear from you. And of course it's always good to have as much information as possible about supplements.

[taw]

Giving up....in a good way!

That one I can figure out, M!! But I have to tell you that I was in tears on my way home today, for no apperant reason, thought of rectal energy and burst out laughing! People next to me on 290 must have thought I was insane!!

Hope you get some relief, M!!

[StuckinLA]

Giving up....in a good way!

M doesn't need relief so much as release, Taw. But I'm sure he appreciates your sentiment.
