Hi
Joined a year ago and called myself wrongwayup as everything was - 3 close family members died - 2 violent. rest of family, job, relationship all went into meltdown.

So now have 7000 Credit card and have been drinking loads to cope.
Have had to decide whether to allow myself to go down and join them or not - sink or swim

So I want to swim

I have changed jobs a bit and gone part time
Started therapy, hypnotherapy and acupuncture
Been to Doctor
Sorted a realistic budget so I can get Credit card paid off in 2019

Please watch this space and cheer me on

Hi, Rightwayup, I too have a thread on this board.
I know I don't know you as well as the rest, but cheering you on x

lifelongfrugaleer · 31/12/2018 18:54

You have had a shit year rightway. Well done you on deciding to swim.

Are you over paying your credit card?
Does the therapy help? You can do this...

AutumnLeaves12 · 31/12/2018 19:01

That's great Rightwayup! Swimming sounds like definitely the way. my dh calls it "digging up", which is what I am doing at the moment too. Good luck!

lifelongfrugaleer · 31/12/2018 19:01

Ah curvy, do you need a cheer on?

Not meant sarcastic but as a genuine care

AutumnLeaves12 · 31/12/2018 19:01

Love the name change btw.

Haven't seen your other posts but I'm here cheering you on too!

LuckyLou7 · 31/12/2018 19:25

You can do this. A positive mental attitude and realistic expectations go a long way. All the very best - may 2019 be your year. Flowers

RatRolyPoly · 31/12/2018 20:05

This is the moment you need to think back to when you need reminding to keep going. When you need to remember how bad it was going to be if you'd given up, and how good it felt to choose life. Keep this moment somewhere special, and remember who you're going to be when you get there. You may not always go forwards, but if you remember this you will get there.

Huge cheering from me and the very best of luck Brew

Wolfcub · 31/12/2018 21:05

Unescorted · 31/12/2018 21:36

MissConductUS · 31/12/2018 22:31

I was you 25 years ago. It worked for me and it will for you too!

SleightOfMind · 31/12/2018 22:32

Hey Rightway, I’ll be watching this space and cheering you on.

The first step in the right direction is the hardest bit. After that, you just have to keep going.

Love and strength to you and this time next year you’ll be a good way out of that hole.

PearlandRubies194 · 31/12/2018 22:42

I’m watching, supporting and cheering on. You sound strong and you definitely sound like you want to keep swimming, keep us posted

Grace212 · 31/12/2018 23:11

reminds me of a bit of a seminal moment I had - when you know you want to really live, it's exciting.
