Losing it

[Waves 2]

I lose it when I drink too much. I get jealous and make stupid accusations. Well I did it good and proper last night and hubby slept downstairs and won't speak to me this morning. 22 of us went to a restaurant and someone kept filling my glass. Three times I asked for water and the waiters didn't bring any. I couldn't get out cos I was in the middle of the back row and you guessed it: ended up drinking too much and then losing it altogether. I am so disappointed with myself after doing so well for the past few months.

I didn't even want to go in the first place but was pushed into it. Feel weak in the head, foolish and stupid this morning- oh and very hungover!uch:

Hope this post make someone else more determined to be strong. otherwise it feels just like a moan.

Hi Waves 2,

It's happened to most of us. It is a rotten feeling. I hope you can patch things up quickly and get back on with us.
You are such a lovely person.

Hi Waves,

You're not on your own ..............

It's the silly season, I'm not saying that that makes it OK, but it makes it easier to break good habits ........

Love & Hugs, Paula :h :l :h

:l Dear Waves,

It is indeed "SILLY SEASON." I completely lose track of how much I'm drinking when the wine is free flowing and a waiter's hand is pouring it. Your hubby is possibly nursing a bit of a hangover himself. Me bets that come evening time, he'll be over being mad at you. Just don't stay too mad at yourself.

Be kind to yourself

Hi Waves
Sorry to hear you feel so bad today.
I have really admired how well you were doing with your Mods programme.

We all know how dissapointed you feel today, am sure everyone of us has been there.
BUT
it's just one little slip - not a relapse - just get back out there and do what you were doing before.
You are a good, strong, person who just got a little overwhelmed by the silly season, and I note that even when feeling this low, you still hope to empower someone else to resist the same fate.
Bless you - get back on that horse.
Look forward to your progress.

Believe me, we have ALL been there, even most people who don't even have a drinking problem. Yes, 'tis the season indeed. Don't let it affect you too much. You are allowed to have yourself a pity party but, don't let it last past this afternoon. You were doing great and will be doing great again tomorrow.

Much love and support coming your way!!

Hey waves, I don't know if you take the supplements but they are great for a hangover - try upping the dose a bit. Sounds like you tried but were forced into the position so don't feel bad about it :h

Oh Waves, I am sorry. You have been sooo good and you need to remember that. As everyone has said we have all had similar nights. It is as if they purposely will not bring you water when you really need it. I hope you start feeling better soon. Really. Sending hugs your way.....

Be easy on yourself. Think of how few slips you've had since you've been here and compare it to what you were doing before. You've come a long way. Remember that.

Waves, Sorry to hear your feeling down. Sounds like a bummer of a an evening. Nothing like being pushed into going somewhere you don't want to be... and then being blocked in where ya can't get out! I can totally understand feeling like a "caged animal"... I know I'd be ready to bite somebody! And I'm pretty sure it'd give me a case of the "F**k- its"

Like everybody else has said, you have been doing so well. And this is just one night. It's over & done with. New day today to start over with. Hope things start to feel better soon.

Bummer, but that is all it is, not you for good esp. since you were doing good. I think that it was just something that happened and you right away got here for support. I will not have a drink today to honor your wishes of helping someone else. All of you help me.

Dear Waves,

Ditto to what the others have been saying here. You are doing super well, just remember you needed to show yourself how far you have come! What a frustrating evening.

I have slipped along the way only then do I remember what I have been doing here! I am sorry you don't feel well today and E is right, maybe this evening hubby will be just fine with all of it.

It is a crazy, silly outrageously tough time of year!!

Love you,
Mary

Waves,
I had a bad night last week right before Christmas, but unfortunately it was not a waiter's hand pouring the wine, but my own. And I wasnt trapped and asking for water, I was deliberately choosing to not drink water inbetween the wine. You feel better now? In other words, I am more evil than you. At least your were TRYING to be good. I felt crappy the whole next day and was so down on myself. Its kept me in check since.

Hope you are feeling better now and I think your hubby will be forgiving very shortly if he hasnt already.

Dear Waves:

I am with everyone here when I say that EVERYONE has been through this!!! For me, the only thing that works is to grovel, and say that I am working on it and plan to do better. You have done great. When hubbie calms down and realizes how much better you have been doing of late, he will love you all the more!!! Keep up the great work. One day is but a grain of sand in the eternity of time. You have done spectacular!!! And greater things are still coming!!!

Love,
MM
