Hi there, heads feeling a little clearer now. been to work today, seems ok, managers are as useless as ever but not too bothered! trying desperatly to save money as that is my latest addiction!
I was hung over yesterday, so I feel better today, for sure. Back to thinking this will be the time when I really do it for good. I have had so many dates that I thought would be my sobriety birthday, and I've let them all slip through my hands. Maybe this time, May 8 will be mine.
Hey Robert, Glad to hear that you're letting those managers slide off your back like that. I was talking to someone last night about refusing to allow the "power" to a person who sets out to be an annoyance. That if I react, that gives that person power over me, and nope, nobody is important enough to me (apart from some loved ones of course) for me to give away any part of myself to that is going to affect me negatively. Atleast, I try, I should say. I do have moments tho, LOL.
Today is a good day. I'm going into town, which is a biggee when one lives where I do. Pick up some meds for my blood pressure, do a bit of a shopping, and go to the farm where we buy our vegies each week. And the best part of it? It means that I can stop at our favorite burger place and buy this enormous, cholesterol laden, salty (that's for Toni, LOL) juicy burger. Town day, which is like every two weeks, is the only time I don't have to cook. If I time it right. And today I did. The weather is clear and warm, the air smells of ozone, the birds are out---today is all about a Disney outlook, right? You have a good evening. How's your recording going? a big hug, Wren

Sugartink, I had so many start dates they outnumbered my kids' bdays, and I have 6 kids. It did finally take hold, once I released the reins and finally admitted that this was a hell of alot bigger than me. Remember, we all just have one day, that moment in front of us, to decide what direction to go in. Be good to yourself, and congrats on this being your second day. That's alot of minutes strung together, as John showed in an earlier post. Glad you're here, Wren

I read in the big book something about not swearing off the liqure nither afraid nor cocky, the problem was just removed.
That is a good vision to have and the steps make that possible.
i am grateful that i had the diazepam incident, because I know that I can abuse anything if it takes away the pain. I know now I have no control over it, I do not take it. I sure as hell wish it was that simple with alcohol, but it isnt.
Just dont drink today, and hopefully I wont drink or drug either.
