I'm sorry for freaking out last night.
I should have never brought that stuff to this board and I apologize.
I'm putting myself in a time out for awhile...until I can get myself help on a more personal level. I need it.
To anyone who has my phone number, please don't call today. I don't need anymore grief and I don't want to have to do any explaining about why somebody I met online is calling.
You guys have really been there for me.
I'm sorry.
Jodi-Why do you think you have to apologize to us?I thought you were pretty tame.Honey,,,,you should of seen some of my drunks.I would call up clients and friends I hadn't talked to in years and start crying and carryin on.It was more than pathetic.LOL
This is a disease.You're talking to a room full of people that know exactly where you're coming from.Don't get all shameful today.That is not going to help.Lets just start over.It's a new day.
Get some sleep and we can talk about.Nothing has changed with me.I'm going to push that women's meeting on you though.You need outside help.This BB is not going to do it.
I returned your e-mail this morning.I went to bed and missed it.
When you get drunk Jodi,there is very little any of us can do.No one was ignoring you.
Check in.
BTW............you do not need a time-out.When you said that I immediately heard isolation.not good

Jodi, No apology needed here. I think most of us have aired our dirty laundry on this board I know I have. I hope you find what you are searching for and peace within yourself. I know you will when you are ready. Take Care, Shantel
Jodi girl,
I don't need an apology...forgive yourself...move on,,,
You owe it to yourself to seek out help and get well...You owe it to your kids...
Today is a new morning, a new chance to start over...Regroup...Pray and Believe...
Prayers for strenth and peace for you,
Jan

Hey Jodi, do you still have my email address? I looked but through the computer changes, I've either lost yours or I'm just not sure which one it is.
Send me an email, let's talk.
Life can really change for the better even when we can't imagine it. Mine did. I'll share it with you. I always got it, remember? I even get what you're feeling today.
So when you get a chance, come find me. I'll be looking for you and thinking of you.
xxxxxoooo

I have been extremely guilty of coming on this board at my lowest of the low points and "telling all".
It's O.K.
You have so many people behind you cheering you on...if you could get us all in one room for you, you'd be amazed.
I am very proud of you. You have taken some huge steps in the right direction. You'll make it.
Lots and lots of love to you...

Jodi, there is nothing to be sorry for. Please don't go away, or not post your feelings. You need that support and honesty is crucial. You didn't do anything wrong...
I would call up clients and friends I hadn't talked to in years and start crying and carryin on.It was more than pathetic.LOL
LOL....so did I. It got to the point, that when I would start drinking, I would hide the phone because I ALWAYS called someone and make an a** of myself. I hated waking up and wondering "who did I call last night?"

Lb, Wondering who we called or what we had done. I always remembered the next morning my husband would be pissed at me and I had no idea why. I didn't let him know that I didn't remember but I would rack my brains for hours trying to remember what I did. I always would try to play dumb so he would slip up and give me some type of clue what inspired the night before. Thanks for reminding me of what I am not missing. Shantel
Jodi,
Weve all been there. Sometimes thats exactly what we need. To be able to "see" ourselves in action. We learn from ourselves more than anyone else.

Kerry....you made me think of my very best friend in the world...she was notorious for "Drunk n' Dial"......anytime the phone rang after mid night and it was her....I was in for some laughs....she was hilarious!
Hoping that your ok today Jodi..your in my thoughts and prayers again today!

Honey i dont want to freak you out, cus im very happily married and totally in love with my husband...
But i dreamed about you last night..lolol
Not sure if its a full moon but i had a heck of a time sleeping last night...and every time i dozed off id wake up with that really awful feeling that something was wrong.....UGH i hate that feeling....
i think i was absorbing some of the way you were probably feeling, or i thought you would be feeling once you finally went to bed...
Then i had an actual dream that i was hiding you and your kids out in our house and the president of the United States kept sending me faxes trying to fool me so i would send you home, I however KNEW it was a conspiracy and had to try to talk you into not faxing him back....lolol
i was so tempted to put my phone number on the board last night so you could call me collect, but also knew that at that point, there would be no real strides made until you had slept it off a bit...
You have nothing to apologize for...you were honest, you shared what was happening, and you vented....thats what your supposed to do here...
forget last night...its behind you and not at all important anymore...whats important is whats ahead of you....
Okay, Im throwing myself to the floor right now - im on my knees before you and literally begging you not to let any kind of self imposed guilt or feelings of "failure" over your few drinks last night...keep you from the path that you were so proudly walking down...
WE ALL make mistakes, we all fall...but remember its not how many times you fall but how many times you get back up and get into the game...
okay so thats my ex football player husbands analogies..but it works...and its true...
So pick yourself, brush yourself on, and get back out there on the playing field!!
lol
your loved
Your supported
Your not being judged
Anything else thats running through that wonderful head of yours is just next morning guilt and not worth a moment of your time...
Big strong hugs
Ali

Jodi...first of all, I am so sorry that I didn't get your message or calls on Friday night. I feel like I've really let you down. My cell was off and we were out to dinner so I didn't know you had called until late that night. I was afraid to call back...at your request, I didn't.
I'm really sorry honey. I wasn't in your back pocket where I was suppose to be.
Please..keep reaching out. Don't ever give up. No one said this was going to be a piece of cake. It's really hard. But you can't stop trying.
Big hugs
Lisa
