    sunday 9 September

    Hello all, another sip. I'm trying to remain positive. I didn't smoke though.
    I think mayeb my mind is reqarding myself with the alcohol. I had 2 and a half beers and 2 glasses of wine. Not too bad but not none.

    I had planned none but got annoyed with OH. i thouht we'd planned to spend all afternoon with our friends. He spent an hour and a half and then met his other friend(he said he's always planned that but i don't recall).

    We were going out in evening. i feel he prioiritises thsi friend above me, e.g my mum was over ,I see them once a year and he was angry as i asked him to stick with us rather than see this friend in the evening.

    irrationally i wound myself up all pm about how after meeting him he would be late for our meal with other people in evening . he wasn't but i was already wound up. then he wanted to go drinking after meal, i didn't and asked him to come back with me but i wanted him to want to.he was a bit petulant about saying so and so will be disppointed. I said if he was more concerned about them not to bother and go out anyway. He came back with me, we were both a bit pissed but not in a nice way.

    We were both pretty drunk, he refused to discuss anything and I went to bed in tears.
    We go round in circles on this one I think other friend is ok but around when he needs something. His oh has been very rude, dismissive to me in past and my oh won't see it, denying it.
    So feeling confused and upset is another trigger.

    Sounds like my husband Bear! Men are from Mars and all that! I get so angry with him sometimes I don't know where to put myself. He also has a friend who he drinks with and somedays it seems like he might aswell marry him! In the past I would just drink more and chill out about it but I can't do that anymore. Anyway, The sun is trying its damnedest to come through the clouds this morning. Another Sunday. My whole life is ruled by weeks at the moment. I'm 25 weeks pregnant tomorrow....only 13 more to go! Please let them go quickly.

    Have a lovely day today everyone. Lots of love, Bella xx

        Good Morning Bear, Bella and all to come,

        I, too, was out of sorts with my husband yesterday. He wanted to go out to eat and with some trepidation I agreed. I had already decided that no matter what i would not drink but was very happy I made that decision because after 45 minutes or so of calm conversation the tension was diffused. I know that had I imbibed in wine the tension would have escalated and eventually I would have gone into attack mode. Later some friends joined us. They are big wine drinkers and ordered several bottles of wine but I stuck to AF beer and was just fine. I hope this is a sort of turning point for me as the whole situation could have gone the other way had I made the decision to drink.
        I spent quite a bit of time catching up with posts and must admit that we have a really great group here. As I read I sit here nodding my head as we all have so much in common.
        Hope you all have a great Sunday.
        Southern Belle/Nancy,my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.

        Kathy, I had to laugh at you wondering if your daughter was hiding nuclear secrets in her room. My son was exactly the same about his room. As he's a male I understand how he wouldn't want his mother in his college dorm room. My husband did go up to his room last year and when he came down to the car he had a cloth wrapped around his mouth/nose ,as if he had just viewed a dead body that had been decaying for several days. He said it would be a long time before he would rid himself of the memory of the odor. Since then I'm happy to stay far away from the room. Of course my son blamed the odor on his roomate.!!

        Almost 11am and I have accomplished nothing!!!!

        I look foward to checking in later

          Morning All-

          Bear-Janet touched on what I was to say. Sometimes you have to stand your ground & not drink in certain situations. Things only get worse. I used to use every excuse when I was angry or annoyed (my husband, my kids) when in reality it was me trying to find my alcoholic crutch yet again thinking I could not handle situations on my own. Bear-you can handle situations AF-you are strong. Just find it. It's in there.

          Bella-ooh-those last weeks are the pits. Just get it out already. Of course my last one-my son-decided to plop himself against my lower left side & stay there my last weeks. So uncomfortable. Hang in there!

          Hi janet-enjoy the day. I'm in you're neighboring state below & it's a scorcher today!

          Busy morning today-church & now about to go to my parent's church bazaar. My mom bought the kids ride bracelets so hey-free rides for the kids. They're expensive. We went to an agriculture fair yesterday & between getting in, food & rides~$80.

          Have a great Sunday everyone!

            Happy Sunday ABeroooos!!
            Sorry your having a rough spot Bear...you are being active in pulling apart this knot so you will be rewarded with answers.
            Very hazy here with fires in CA blowing in the smoke. Trying to ebay some junk I've amassed and continue the job search...not terribly exciting but truthfully a quiet day sounds perfectly fine.
            Bella, Janet, Breez and all to come you have a great day and be well

              Good morning, oops, afternoon (it's 12:05 pm) Bear, Bella, Janet and Breez.

              I'll echo the others here, Bear, and say that drinking doesn't help here, although Imore than understand. Please don't think I'm being critical, either. I've drank my way through a lot of life's ups and downs, and I'm only now becoming pleasantly surprised to find that it's really easier to do without. I NEVER would have believed that a year ago. You can only learn it for yourself.

              Is your pregnancy proving difficult, Bella? I really liked being pregnant, especially around the middle of the pregnancy. At that point, your body is taking care of everything for you. Obviously, it's not the same for everyone, though. Or are you just eager for your baby to get here??

              Janet, I'm so proud of you for not drinking; what a great job! You sound like you feel really good about yourself today. I think it is a turning point, because no matter what else, you will ALWAYS know that YOU CAN DO IT!

              You made me laugh with your story about your husband in your son's dorm room! I can imagine. And Of Course it was his roomate! There have been a few times here at home that Maddy's room has been more than a little ripe.:yuk: Would you believe this? Maddy's room at college was NEAT. Like, clean, neat, organized..... I didn't really think about it until I read your post. Harumph! Her room here never looked like this! You've gotta love em.....

              Breez, you sound like you have another busy day today. You're sounding great, though. I hope you enjoy your day. You sound like a great mom!

              Anyway, I just finished mowing the lawn, and now I've gotta clean some more stuff and start reorganizing things. One of the ways that I'm dealing with my sister leaving is trying to do all of the things I've been putting off. Also, I got my hair cut and permed on Friday. It looks cute, but my stylist cut it a little too long, so I will get another inch or two cut off next week. It will be so easy this way. Only about 5 minutes with the blowdryer, instead of 30-40. :yay:


              Anyway, I've gotta run, so everyone take care and have a great day! Smooches to everyone who comes later.


              Hugs,:l

              Kathy


              Oops, missed you there, Deter. Have a great, quiet day. Hugs.

                Hi everyone

                Hope you all had a great Sunday. Day 9 AF and feeling good, no cravings either yesterday or today which makes things easier. Have a wedding coming up next week-end so am planning ahead. Going to make the excuse an unset tummy that morning and I dont want to make it worse as I have a long journey the next day!! Thought of using the antibiotic excuse but one of my cousins is a nurse and it would just lead to too many awkward questions. As I was saying on one of the other threads, I eventually hope to be able to say that I dont drink any more. However, it is still very early days for me and as nobody even knows I have a drink problem, I dont want to get into all the gory details. I need to deal with my problem first and part of it is being in social situations where alcohol is everywhere. My hubby drinks wine and has no problem and I am getting used to him sitting there at night having a glass. At first it was very difficult but it's something I have to live with as I am the one with the problem not him.

                  Hi Rustop

                  Just shutting off pootas for the night - bit grand...only desk and laptop...! - but wanted to quickly say that at my daughter's wedding last weekend the being asked about drink just didn't happen! I didn't sip from the toast glass (just raised it), asked for water and was poured some and asked for some more of the elderflower 'fizz' we'd had the choice of on arrival when the wine came round.... nobody knew I had a prob either but not one soul mentioned it, questioned it, looked-at-me-funny (!) and I was so not alone.... I hadn't realised how many people don't drink before...hc...hm....! (And how quickly folk get to repeat themselves when imbibing...!)

                  So wishing you the best wedding ... I hope you have the same with the ol' boozo...

                  Love to all too...I'll hopefully get a bit more time tomororw to get on the Monday post and catch up on all the news!!...

                  Love

                      Hi all: Another first for me today. A sober Sunday football day. Football season used to be a huge drink fest around here. In fact, I used to plan my Monday schedule to start in the afternoon because I knew I would be so hung over Monday morning I couldn't possibly get up for work. Feels great, didn't think about drinking at all other than remembering how lame I used to be.

                      Be well.
