Hi most of you know me on here,
I havent drunk in 15 mths, but today I feel like one, I have just finished niteshift, my mind is working overtime, which is bad as I drive a truck for a job!
I am splittin from my partner of 21 yrs, only been sober for really 15 mths of those and now we see things differently (she isnt a drinker)
All thats been going through my head is f@#@ it I may as well drink, look whats happened now!!!!!
The problem is me Im moving on she dont want to go, I dont want to stay,
My psycoligist said I was happy in my old world , work ,drink work, drink work etc, This was my decision to split, but coming in now at 4.30am and seeing heaps of stuff packed up its reality, my old saying was reality is for those who cant handle drugs,
Sorry had to get it off my chest,
Bed time Ginge
Hey Ginge, sorry you're feelings so down. I don't really know what to tell you to make it easier for you right now, but i just want you to know i'm thinking of you and i'm praying for you. You are doing so great and you are such a huge inspiration to me! Hang in there Ginge and do whatever you have to do to not pick up that 1st drink. Sending good thoughts and wishes your way! You can make it thru this, i know you can! ;)
Oh, Ginge, I'm so sorry that things aren't going well... but I really hope you won't take a drink!! You have 15 months that I'm sure you worked so hard to get to. I'm also so sorry about you and your partner... you have changed your life, and sometimes when we make a change for the good, it brings other changes that maybe aren't so good. I don't know the right thing to say, all I can think to say is that the first thing you should do is get some good sleep... if you've been working all night and you're exhausted you can't possibly be seeing things as clearly as you should in order to properly evaluate them. And please, Ginge, please don't drink. It won't help anything. Please take care and stay in touch, OK? We're here to listen and support. Sending cyber-hugs and positive vibes your way...
Thanks for the support guys,

Feeling better now, you were right tired only 4 hrs sleep out of 48hrs,

Hi Ginge,
One thing that has worked for me in the past was, whenever I felt like picking up, I told myself ok I will. But, I'll do it tomorrow. It made me feel better, I knew I could pick up if I wanted to, but by putting it off another day, usually by the next day things were better and the obsession had lifted. If it didn't, I did the same thing. Ok I'll pick up but tomorrow. That sence of relief by telling my head I'd pick up was enough to get me through till that thought passed. Hang in there,
picking up sure won't make anything better..
Take care.......
