Thanks everyone..just a couple rather large problems hit me all in the same day, and unfortunately money is the issue. It's got me really stressed out, no sleep at all last night and today I've got a pretty good headache going on because of it. Thank you all for being there.

(((BB)))

I can relate - my short term disability has ended and my long term hasn't been approved yet. I was expecting to get paid on the 30th and didn't. I am trying to get in touch with employment insurance but can't get through. So right now I'm broke. I am trying to stay positive and I refuse to let myself drink over it. It's tough. I know my situation isn't yours, Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and I hope you are able to stay strong and keep smiling your beautiful smile.

Love and hugs,
Uni

Good Morning Fabber Abbers!

CINDERS!!!!! So nice to hear from you. I have missed you. Are you still traveling with your job? Any changes in that arena? How was rehab? Tell us how you are doing.:l

BB, Hang in there. The most amazing thing is that you are dealing with and feeling your problems instead of drinking them away. That goes for you too Uni. You have done so well remaining AF. You both know that the alcohol won't fix the problem nor will it help with anxiety and depression; only makes it worse.

English Writer, It sounnds like you are full of good energy this morning. Keep up the amazing work. Exercise played a central role in my sobriety.

Greenie, It sounds like this is going to be a good year. Tell us more. It is a beautifull day out today here too. I love how the daylight hours are longer.

Bye for now. I am procrastinating on a huge project.

xxoo

Hello Again All,

BB - Hope the headache is slowly clearing. Thinking of you at this difficult time. Keep strong!

Hi Lav, AA, Uni, Greenie, and those I have missed. Wednesday hurrah to you all. Halfway there

Mom - Yeah exercise is my new 'drug' as it were. It does get the endorphins flowing and gives me that buzz I used to seek elsewhere.

Good luck with the procrastinating!

Hi I would like to join in. Im on day 5 too and planning to make it to the end of the month! I have to start exercising again too its the only thing that slows my drinking and sometimes stops the ciggs

Hi Daylight

Well done on your 5 days AF first of all! What kind of exercise are you looking to do? I've began running again and also taken on a Zumba class!

I'm also trying to quit the cigs, cut down massively today after having a run. Not only did I not fancy one too often, but I didn't want to undo the 'lung clearing' I had just accomplished!

Welcome!

Thanks I'm with you on writing the date - Im in Ireland and am always getting confused - which month????
Running is what I love - Im trying to build up to do a short triathlon if I have the nerves for the swim... Once I get fit again its so much easier to take controll fo drinking - I had a short blast of about 5 months of fittness - then I hurt my back and relapsed to drinking and smoking. Well the back is better so Im off again - fingers crossed.
A zumba class - deadly!

Haha, yeah it's OK when you get past the 12th day but before that I am always confused

Triathlon - that's what I call deadly, but good for you. Maybe I'll give one ago towards the middle of the year all going well!

Having an injury makes it very difficult to stick to your resolve on not drinking/smoking as usually you are layed up and bored out of your mind, but hopefully together we can make it through the month regardless!

Zumba is a lot of fun - you should try it!

Hello Abbers!

Great to hear you feel better now Uni! Just let out that scream and get it over with.

English/Day I'm also hoping to switch to exercise as my latest addiction. My body won't go along with me 100% but I'm getting there...!!

Have a great AF day all.

Another day alcohol free, I just wish I could feel more positive about it. Still waiting for my anti-depressants to kick in.

I'm currently using an old prescription for anti-depressants and I'm worried about getting someone to prescribe me more. I called the local hospital this morning and none of the psychiatrists are taking on new patients at the moment so I have to try and find a private doctor, which seems like an overwhelming hassle.

I'm also really upset about my weight, which hasn't gone down any despite daily exercise and a diet of mostly cabbage and apples for the past month. I just feel so uncomfortable in my own skin right now.

I just keep telling myself that as long as I don't pick up a drink, things will work themselves out eventually.

My life right now is pretty much sounding like a bad country song...

The engine in my car has blown and needs to be replaced (expensive) and paperwork was screwed up on Pension Funds transfer so the Goverment has nailed me for Income I never reported (because I never had it!) and then penalized me for saying I lied (which I didn't) and took away certain things till the debt (which doesnt really exist) is paid in full. This will all take a few months to iron out so I'll receive nothing from them until such time. My hard earned tax dollars at work... Uni, our government is completely fucked!

And here's the song I think fits...

BB - I hear ya - I have been trying for 2 days to get in touch with EI and I can never reach anyone on the phone so I can't find out why my claim didn't pay me. And my sister just called and her MIL passed away so I need to get on a plane to her asap so I'm trying to figure out how to do that and get my finances worked out at the same time. Screwy mess. So I go AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHh. And then I feel better.
