Morning All.
Ma, when you have the Scottish met up, would you have room for a poor English refugee? I need to find a sane place to live. I believe in democracy, but this morning I am deeply sad.
Joey, I didn't realise you'd done 21 days, you are BRILLIANT!
*Elba^ it doesn't sound like you're faking it. We have a finite amount of emotional energy; if we spend it all keeping up a front, and 'giving out' to others, there's none left for ourselves. It is very much how I felt about admitting the depth of my depression, I went to work, I smiled, I laughed, I put on a performance, and I could maintain it all the time people were watching, but by the time I got home, I was empty. You are probably home by now, but could you consider delaying that drink? Try to shift your thinking, not "I will drink when I get home", but, "My first drink will be a cup of tea." Not big plans, but what I think sports psychologists refer to as 'marginal gains'.
Rarity, I hope you maintain that feeling of control, it's what many of us want but can't have.
MrsM borrow some of Joey's brilliant resolve, and start again today.
So, day five. Glad I resisted last night, As is often said, no one regrets NOT drinking the night before. I need to get my ass into gear and get the dog to the vets.
Have a good day Babes, be strong, and if you're not feeling that way, come and post someone will be able to lend you some.
