“How unlucky I am that this should happen to me. But not at all. Perhaps, say how lucky I am that I am not broken by what has happened, and I am not afraid of what is about to happen. For the same blow might have stricken anyone, but not many would have absorbed it without capitulation and complaint” — Marcus Aurelius
Yeah that’s the same with me, I didnt know if I was depressed because I was drinking or drinking because I was depressed. Being sober, exercise, practicing mindfulness and gratitude have really helped me. Hood luck at the doctors, hope it goes well.
I’m hoping this is the same for me. I’d like to cut back on some of my meds eventually. I’ve had to increase in the last two years and as I look back now I think it’s because of the drinking. Definitely something I’ll discuss with my doctor.
Have a get up and get on with it attitude even if I feel down, usually just keep moving and it passes. It’s possible that I need to take more time with it, acknowledge it, instead of just trying to push it out of my head. I dunno. I’m lucky that I can get out of bed even if I don’t want to… some people have it far worse … so I think … stop feeling sorry for yourself.
I did go to the meeting. Met a new lady with kids the same age as me. We exchanged numbers, she lent me her copy of Living Sober and we committed to meeting up at Wednesday night’s meeting. Processing a lot after that meeting… A good discussion on secrets and what it costs other people when you ask them to keep yours. How did your sports turn out? Any of your teams win?
Good morning sunshine family it is so nice to wake up with a cup of coffee of @dot.dot.dot
Off to drink some coffee and make some breakfast for my little monsters.
How many are you feeding !! . Do you need a special oven or whatever that is to make it ? Because I love the sound of it but only have an ordinary oven
