Hi everyone, Ijoined last monthand have been lurking, reading, reading, reading.
Even jumped into chat one night (didn't really know what I was doing since I have never been in a chat room before) Two nice ladies replied right away but I was still getting my feet wet with this whole thing and feeling abit shy. I am comfortable with it now after so much reading and feel I all ready know you all and would like to become a part of this caring community.
I am what you call a sandwich child.....(caregiver). Taking care and making sure everyone is well and happy. Grandchildren, children, mother and stepfather (86-and 90) mother-in-law (87)....you get the picture. My grandson has autism and had a brain tumor and we walked through the fire with him for 5 years. He is doing better now and is my heart! Fixiing gin and tonics in the evening helped ease the pain of watching him suffer and help ease the knife that resides in my heart although nothing can remove it. Anyway, I knew it was time to take care of me and stop the nightly medication of cocktails because I want to be around a long time for him. He deeply loves me and spending time with me
So.....as someone said earlier this week, it finally justed clicked with me. I read the book, got the CD''s the All In One and started the program. Today is one month and all I will allow myself is a lite beer every now and then or a Beck's Ulta Lite (64 calories) learned this at Weight Watchers
I'm not saying it has been easy. The first few days were the hardest but I really think for me it was like when I quit smoking 20 years ago. I had been thinking about it for a long time and finally knew this was it. Period! I have had to change up my schedule in the evenings which has helped. Got out my paints and started painting again after a very long time. I would like to say thank you to all the wonderful people on the site. I have learned a great deal and it has helped me every day. Also, would also like to mention (for me) the CD's are very helpful. I guess I have so much stress in my life they have really done wonders. I agree with somethng RJ mentioned in her book. They seem magical. It is working for me I continue to listen to one or more daily. My goal is to continue this path of better health and coming here is part of of the plan plus taking each day "one day at a time". I pray it continue to work.............Beachmusic
PS I have never been a beer drinker in my life!
