Awesome August Abstainers
A good difference a day makes, just another reason not to drink when we have a bad one. I am having a lot less pain fortunately, and I was shocked at how big a trigger it was for thoughts of drinking. In the past, pain and certain kinds of sickness always called for a special concoction that was strong enough to numb and sedate. Even as a child that sort of thing was called for by my mother so the habit is rooted in my very bones. I am glad I didn?t drink, particularly when I was royally uncomfortable about the whole thing. Thanks for the nursing, Lav. Chill, I don?t think I have told you that I am fascinated and cheered by your efforts and plans. I am so insecure and such a control freak that I have never in my life moved anywhere without first obtaining a job (or, as a student, a funded program), after which I sort of make concentric circles around the work location looking for a home. I haven?t minded moving alone to a strange place but haven?t wanted to be too far from my employment/school and always have to be able to walk, bike, or use buses/trains etc. just in case I have car trouble or even no car. So much of my personal security has been in being able to support myself no matter what. The fact that you repeatedly have the expectation and conviction that things will fall in place (and then they always do!) is so out of my league in trusting anyone or anything. I think I need to release my grip a bit before my fingers shatter:H. Thanks. In the time being, while I am feeling better, sitting still remains not in my best interest so bye for now. Love, Ladybird.
