Thank you so much Hors , i just feel like it . i am going to pick myself up and take it a day at time but still with the same goal . i have done it before i can do it again ,
Ahh so i am feeling down on my self again as i posted here and said i had the goal of no alcohol and here i am again after a night of drinking . hung over with shame and all that comes . I so badly want to break this cycle but keep falling into it . i do recognise that i need tools to help with my anxiety as that is a big reason for my drinking in the past and why i switched to eating as i don't drink when i am at home but only at my family's . And its not them i mean they do say im fine and just have a drink but i could say no and dont . so i guess i will work on coping skills for anxiety and also work on saying no thanks ...but its hard to be around people who are drinking for many reasons . i dont know why i put myself through this .
Thanks Hors and Lyn i am so glad i found a place where i can get support and also share and hoprfully helps someone not feel alone . Thanks for the support
Thanks High Tower , youre right need to focus on me. yesterday they wouldnt stop , have a drink, loosen up, relax, i said no , no , no , but ended up having one . did go over board like night before but still caved . but again that has to do with me i could have stuck to my decision . so i have some goals to work on that i am setting for myself. that is sticking to my decision and trusting myself. no ddrink its a love hate relationship with alcohol ( hard to explain) and to find things to help me when i feel i need to run from my emotions through food or alcohol. ( i suppose find ways to handle them? ) no clue . Thank you so much i like the sound of that drink sounds yummy ,., will try it
I have been reflecting and I Have notice that in my career in drinking and over eating I have not really taken care of myself . I don't mean just the alcohol and junk food binges but everyday food choices , exercise , positive thoughts ..things like that . even things around the house , little steps . I have struggled with self sabotage and self hatred but I am and have been wroking on self love and forgiveness of others but myself also . I started painting this summer and I like painting I feel calm so I think will e doing more of that . What other self care things are there that anyone has done ? hope everyone is having a great day
Thank you Bassman , |I am grateful for this post . I woke up today hangover free and have a coffee and was going to check my emails but thought I am going to come on here and this is the very first post I read and wow! Thank yiou and that is great!! way to go!!!
Thanks Hors, I have been exploring more . When I paint the anxiety and worrying chatter in my head seems to get quiet . I posted about self care just because its something I have issues with . I am used to taking care of others but never myself and also struggle with self hate and am working on that . baby steps . That was me drinking and looking at the screen or doing other things but never took care of myself or my place or anything . I put up some paintings the other day and now feel good about it love looking at the wall . makes the place feel less of just a place and more of a home if that makes sense . I know we are all different . just something I struggle with . ever since I came back though I feel good , love all the support here , the posts , the resources . its great .
