Thanks so much KY, TT and YAH - your comments are really helping me.
KY, I am also very strong and determined and totally frustrated that this can get the better of me - not often that I can let something I don't want to win win!!
YAH and TT - so sad - and not sure if I am depressed - I have managed to get my daughter a therapist, she starts on Friday, and I am wondering if the three of us (have two girls) need some therapy - I will get her on track and seriously consider what I need as well..
Thanks for your care and concern, it really does make a huge difference - one day I WILL be AF just like you guys....

SL ......people with healthy attitudes get therapy, sick people in denial don't! Hell GF, MWO is therapy.
I went to counselling with my son as a teenager.....it saved our relationship.

I went with my daughter when the ex and I split.

To me therapists are the modern equivalent of the village elders.......there is NO shame in needing guidance. It is rather arrogant to think we never would. Life is hard

Hi SL,

Hang in there. It does get better, but there is no avoided the road to recovery. Thank God, we don't have to do it alone. You're not alone. I'm going to send you my cell # by PM. Call if you like.

hidy ho cats and kitties!

had a fabulous day target shooting with friends (definitely an AF sport)

Lav, thank you for the link. I like the movie review very much and will delve in more. I'm such a nutrition junkie that I literally listen to an hour podcast every single night on the subject from those that are true pioneers on the subject.

Scottish Lass, have you had your B12 levels checked? there are also a number of androgen sterone hormone tests that may indicate a chemical imbalance that could be mitigating your success. just a thought. sometimes when I'm having a bad craving I'll take a swig of balsamic vinegar. it really helps me as weird as it sounds.

Mick, I might add there's no time of month where you can't eat chocolate.

oh dear, that was bad.

be well my friends

SL, please hang in and don't have a drink. I remember when I was so desperately sad. It does get better. I think I forced myself to go for a walk. Everyday I did something outside, rain or shine. I just had to break the cycle of sitting at home during my regular drinking time. The more time I spent outside the better I felt..... I read, I walked and I kept both hands on the steering wheel as I drove past one of my regular liquor stores each night. And I slept. Getting a good night's sleep helped me deal with everything better. Even the feeling of aloneness.

Thanks everyone - Det and CT for checking in.
nope Det - I have not had my B12 checked, and I do actually think this could have some hormonal element too.
I have not had the day any of you would want for me, but I have done a lot of introspective thinking and reviewing - I am more sure in my choices.
I realise that I have tried very hard to maintain things for my girls since the failure of my marriage and the financial problems that occurred during that. I left my husband Jan 2011 after 17 years and ended up short-selling my house in 2012 - the problems that have occurred trying to right everything since are nothing to be sneezed at, and I have not taken a moment to consider my emotional health during this time. I have chosen to try to stop drinking whilst all this is occurring, which is a good thing, but a tough time to do this. Also dealing with menopause hence the hormonal factors.
I am going to get back on track and will take care of my inner self so that I am able to continue to take care of my two precious ones.
This weekend has not been a good one, but not necessarily a bad one as it has made me take stock.
Tomorrow will be day one again, and will get further along the road in my quest.
I need to slow down and smell the roses as I travel this path, thanks for being here for me today, love SL:l:l
