Blue Monday

[Allie]

Hello all,
You would think I could make it my one night to not drink. Well.. I was on track, but got sidetracked. I know I'm not coming right out and saying what happened, but basically an old wound was dug up with a really sharp knife? I am so sick of thinking I am okay only to find out that I am far, far from it. I wont share details because I got in BIG trouble the last time I did from several people here. Anyhow, please say a prayer for me today.

Thanks,
Allie

Hi Allie, I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling. I can't imagine why anyone would have been upset by your previous postings! This is a forum where all of us share our struggles; it is part of the healing process. If you would like to talk, just PM me.

But in any event, you are OK!!! I can say that unequivacably because I have seen the tremendous upward growth in how you have tackled things going on around you -- I think you are super!!! Try to remember that both overcoming drinking and emotions are rarely a straight upward movement, but an up-and-down process on an upward trend. You are doing a terrific job!! I think you should step back, take a deep breath and reflect on all the wonderful accomplishments you did in 2006. It may help you release the tension from this problem and continue to move forward and have a better day!!!

Hey Mike, how did Friday work out? Are you having a better day?

Love to all,
Monica

Dear, sweet Allie,

I am so sorry that you are feeling this badly. I understand the need to keep some things private although I cannot imagine whom you might have offended with ANY of your posts.

You might not know this but you are an inspiration to me. Slip ups and all!

You are so smart and so thoughtful and so funny that I have every reason to believe that you'll be feeling better soon. That being said, I do know how old wounds can be so painfully reaggravated that one backslides a bit. Pick yourself up, think of all of the people you've helped at MWO and give yourself a big hug from me!:l

:heart: :heart: :heart: E

Hi Allie
How odd that you posted that when you did. Today I am home, nursing a hangover myself. I dropped hubby off at the airport yesterday and decided I had every right to "go to town" with the wine...I guess....Not very proud of myself.
Sad...
Love you Allie, hang in there....is it a full moon or something?
Love Jen

Allie, I am sorry for whatever you are going through and hope it gets itself worked out soon. We are here for you if you need to vent.

Jen, I am trying to PM you but your inbox is full. Please empty it so I can get in touch with you.

Everyone else have a nice Monday. I am still under the weather and would like someone to remove my sinuses..................

Would you believe, that there is nothing about your life today, not even what hurts, that you won't eventually appreciate, with happy tears running down your face?

Nothing.

Chokes me up just thinking about it -

Good Morning all,

Gypsi dear, you and your husband were my first thoughts this morning as I turned toward prayers. I do hope you get to go to Seattle soon so he can have the operation. How is that going, care to share?

Sorry Allie that you had bad night. Beth, gotta give her shoes back - but I 'd say you don't HAVE to have them, it's not like you spent 15 minutes this morning chipping ice off your car! I hope you are feeling better as the day goes on.

Fan, you are too funny! always uplifting for all of us here!

Lush, I sure hope you feel better. It is awfully hard to feel inspired to clean up and do the samo, samo when you don't feel well. I have been living on Benadryl for a week now. Makes it tough to stay awake but at least I am not sneezing every two minutes.

Eustacia, good to see you back. I have a book from couples therapy days, I want to say it is called Dancing with Wolves, I will check back in on it at lunchtime as googling it didn't bring up the right one. It showed me a way to make sure I set the boundaries that were not going to be crossed. I have a guy who loves to find those boundaries . . . on all people, not just me. He pushes them every chance he gets, sometimes to the "spoiled brat" level. As a wife I can get really tired of holding my ground. I found it incredibly valuable in being able to find the right words, tone of voice and the strength to hold to my boundaries. That inner peace you are looking for is directly under the surface, let us help you find it. With that peace in place the triggers just make you more determined to stick with your plan.

Leslie, WELCOME ABOARD! Looking forward to getting to know you better.

MM, thanks for the PM, I hope you are having a great day today. You sound like you are over the hump a bit more from last week. Whatever works to make it easier to moderate.

Jen, I am sorry you are nursing a hangover. I know you can do this!! I have seen you do this before!! GO, girl!

Lori, hang in there. You are doing great.

Rachele, from this weekend's posts. WAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO! That is great. Removing the alcohol from the house is such a great idea. Out of sight, out of mind per se.

Hawk, hope all is going well for you. Finding the real estate market really weird over here in NM. Hope you are finding a boom biz.

2 drinks on Friday night, AF Saturday and 1/4 glass of wine last night. (Asked hubby to pour about a half glass for me, one of the many times I was up hosting dinner last night, came back to him drinking my wine the rest of the way.) Meh, that was OK. Still smoke free, though yesterday afternoon preparing dinner for guests, the thought of what those evenings use to look like made my cravings for a stiff drink and a cigarette before the onslaught of people arrived really overwhelming.

Hugs and Love to all here and the rest to come during the day,
Hope it is an Aqua colored day!

I like aqua, but sky blue is pretty high on the list and looking beautiful here today. Allie I hope today gets better for you, maybe a walk on the beach? I'm getting ready to go do that myself here in a bit.

Jenneh- Hope you feel better soon too. :flower:
