Good morning all,
Rabbit, Rabbit, first day of the month!!!! Thanks for the feedback on the name of the new monthly thread! Hope this is what we wanted. I too think of this thread and this site and the people on it, as if I know all of your personally, cause in some ways I do. What a blessing for all of us. To share our journey without judgement, but with support and help, if we are open to it.
Cyn, I had a bad dream last week, know it was related to the world turmoil, my heart was pounding and it was hard to get back to sleep. Sorry you are experiencing the same, it is tough. I am looking to make some big decisions, due to the political issues, like paying off my house, using savings, just because I am afraid the economy is going to tank soon, with the poor decisions being made. Not sure what to do, but want my house safe at least, as safe as anyone can be, honestly. We had a meeting at work yesterday and part of it was to process all that is going on and how we are dealing with it. We were able to discuss it with tolerance for all. I found it helpful.
Lav, have a lovely time with your friends, I treasure my friends more than ever now that I have lost a few. Right now I am grateful to work, as I need to get out of the house, get my mind off of things. It is just so necessary for me. My son is still looking for a job, interview yesterday, and sending out applications like crazy. I have been dealing with anxiety over this situation AF, and using deep breathing, positive thoughts, and asking my higher self for peace, making it through but wish he would work. I know he does too. If I was drinking it would be so much worse. I cannot believe I did that to myself for so long, the lack of sleep alone, the shame of losing control and being less than who I am, I love having dignity and not having guilt and remorse.
Pauly, what a good thing you did, asking for hubby to give a ride to the airport as a coping skill. I have had to reach out to my husband too, and he is always there for me. You are recognizing your weak times and doing something about it. 2017 will be a good year for your AF journey. I am feeling the same as time goes on. This month it will be six months AF, I am looking forward to it.
Abcowboy, you are a great addition, post anytime, love hearing about your journey and how it has affected your relationships with everyone!

my skin has been so dry with this cool air but I have a huge pimple by my nose so I don't want to irritate it with moisturizer grrrrr to old for pimples! Cyn and Lav,my sleep has,been weird too,dreams that make no sense,just thinking right now and it seems like January dragged! That's a good thing though cuz last year flew by too fast,time to plan Louie's birthday and his dad said he wants to do something different so I suggested an indoor trampoline place,found a few but $$$!they have a big family so I can't imagine how much it would be,looks fun though,think I need a tad more coffee,hope everyone has a wonderful first day of Feb
