Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site
Hi Girls,
Battling some emotional issues which stem at work. I had another run-in with co-worker this morning. Tension is really thick. I'm not happy with how i handled myself, as I yelled and did not act professionally. Lots of stressors here at work, and I need to let things go. I am trying to be perfect again, and it ain't gonna happen. I don't want it. Believe me. I want to be mediocre and love it. But then I push myself into this crazy state. It's not a good place to be, as I know where it's led me in the past. The rest of the day, I'm going to just pretend that I'm ok, focus on the present, and let go what I said and did. I'm not apologizing to anyone, and I'm moving forward. That felt good to say.
Pav, we tell DS to remember that he's a part of two sports teams. He would get suspended from those teams as well as school, and I know it's important to him. But I also know kids will be kids. We've had this really great assembly on drunk driving the past few years here. It talks about the legal issues if you're caught with booze, near it, drinking it...losing the opportunity to get your license. I almost feel I don't have the right to talk about it being wrong to son, because of how I abused it for so long, and he knows it. But I'm his parent and I must parent by warning him of consequences regardless of what I did.
Dot, glad you got past those urges and are getting to the gym. We are all in early recovery and we cannot get too comfortable. When we get an urge, we need to be aware and take it seriously.
SL, I was thinking...at least you're not drinking and can help her, you're not overly tired, not rushing through the assignment thinking that the glass of wine is waiting for you? There is something positive in this situation, although I know the frustration you're feeling. I'm not discounting it at all. Just trying to find a positive in this.
Ava, a coworker had twin girls. They went away to college and one of them drank and died of alcohol poisoning. So sad. What a story about K.
LB, what's the Sedona Method? I wanna giggle, skip and chew gum at the same time!
Daisy, glad you got through some difficult days. Keep taking it one day at a time.
NS - sister sloth! I love it. I just ate a Sarris chocolate bar that had 14 g of fat and 280 calories. I was feeling really shaky and needed it.
LC - congrats on 14 days! You're moving right along.
Jane, so sorry about the loss of your dog. That's so sad, and they are a part of our family. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
Marylou, what a lovely post that I need to reread as soon as i post this.
Moss?? Are you here?
Humble, miss you.
Nar, how are you dear? Are you still working out during lunch? Much better than I'm doing eating a 280 calorie chocolate bar with 14 g of fat. FFS!
Ok, ladies, I'll check in later. I really hope I'm not losing my mind. I'm feeling really shaky, just not myself. I keep crying and losing it on people. I'm going to smoke on my break and I don't care if I smell. Love you ladies.
