Hi folks,

I supposed I should have posted this in the "Question" section, but I was hoping to catch your eye. I haven't seen any action around here, except for a couple of people, in a few days? Is everyone okay????
Brenda? Are you feeling better? How about some of the "oldies/regulars? Any newcomers lurking?
Wherever you all are, I hope you are well, sober, enjoying spring, and basically doing okay! Please check in to say hello - it's too quiet!!
God bless,
Leslie

Hey Leslie


I am here...I am on vacation...which means that I am spending quality time with my girls. The littlest one turns two next week and has been in the terrible two stage for a few months now.


Thanks for asking!

I'm here, just not doing so well.
High stressors and the calendar have made this couple weeks not a lot of fun. Teetering back and forth. I had a couple drinks this week during the week, but didnt get drunk. I am basically just waiting to though. ugly but true. All I can think of is blessed numbness and not having to feel like I am in my skin for just a little while. Apparently some issues I thought I had emotionally under better control, I dont and I am hoping to just ride it out and that tomorrow will be better.

One day at a time, sweetie, one day at a time. Sometimes its one minute at a time. If we don't drink today, the days begin to add up. When they add up, life gets better. Really!
God bless,

Hmmm, I'm having the same problems. Extremely high anxiety and the shocking revelation that I haven't worked through all of my issues. By 5pm I also crave numbness. I'm realizing that alcohol isn't my problem. Honesty is. I've got a lot of work to do.

Riding it out, too.

Hi Ladies..

Stress seems to be going around!

I have been very busy lately. It has also been a bit of a transitional time since
my Dad passed away. Mom is doing fairly well. One of my sister has had a very rough time.
Easter was Dads favorite holiday, and she missed him terribly.

I am heading out to a retreat this weekend with my children. I am soo looking forward
to getting away.

Hang in there gals....

Peace
Rose

Please, somebody, talk to me! I think I'm in real trouble. I recently had a breakup of a long-time relationship, and haven't been able to leave the house much, except to buy beer. It's kind of slow and steady at the moment, but I get really nervous if I don't have it in the house, whether I drink it or not. I think depression has a lot to do with it, but I'm losing hope, which I know makes everything worse. I would appreciate the chance to talk with someone who's been there. Thanks!

well its spring break for school this coming week, and my kiddo had said he wanted to go to dads, my brain instantly jumped to planning a week long binge. He has since changed his mind. So thats off. Monday is my birthday actually and I wanted to get really slammed and take tues off to recover. but I guess thats not going to happen, I have a business meeting tues, anyway. sigh. I know once april is over I will feel much better. and as far as drinking during the past week , its been a couple nites but I havent had more than 2 any nite, and its more like 1 and a half and it was about 3 nites this week. I tend to think this weekend is going to be a hard drinking one. annnnnnnnnnnnd I am pnsing so its just fun all around over here.
guess its better that my kiddo will be around, a week long binge would probably not help , but boy does it invite me.
