Camiol, Hope you are doing fine. How about your dog? We are waiting for the news.
I have finished a glass of red wine, no intention to have another since I am so tired tonight and in down mood. The best way is to go to bed as soon as possible otherwise I will have another drink.
What happens if you get stressed and feel the need to drink more? How will you cope with the stress? Have a few concrete activities lined up in case of an emergency.
Camiol, thoughts going out to you. Let us know how you're doing.
Ashley, those are very good questions and I want to form a plan. Tea will be a big part of it. I'm drinking a lot of it here at the hospital. Green tea until afternoon, then herb tea at night. No alcohol until Bob gets home. One glass or none while I'm cooking. A glass with dinner. Now I need a strategy for stopping and switching off to delicious herb tea. Hmm...
Camiol, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. Keep us updated.
Spiritwolf, Loneliness
can be very hard; but as I am sure you know the temporary escape of
drinking tends to make it worse. It is so important that you pin pointed
the trigger of loneliness. You now can develop strategies to manage
the loneliness. How would you like to start?
ElizabethRRRR, So glad to hear about your little brother.
It's good that you recognize going back to work might be a trigger for
you. How will you handle this? What would you like to try as a coping
mechanism this week?
I too am an animal lover. It is so sad to see them sick or in pain as they can't tell us anything. You are a good mom to the dog so just enjoy the time you have left and I hope it is not a painful time for the dog. Hang in there. Time heals.
Camiol, I am so sorry about your dog. I am a cat lover, and have rescued purebred cats for years. Since I always get them as adults, they pass away far too soon. I am devastated each time.... Do you have a plan to help you through the weekend?
Good morning.....I am feeling very anxious today as I await a call from the vet. He is supposed to call me this morning sometime and then we will know the prognosis. I am praying for good news but preparing for the worst. BP it seems you and I are very much alike when it comes to animals.....aside from my daughter, I have more love for dogs, any animal actually, than I do for most people. My daughter is the same way, we are very sensitive to animals.
It is again the last work day for me this week....ahhh a three day work week sure goes by quickly. I am going to control myself this weekend and not let any bad news or stress control my behavior. It's within me to not let negativity influence me to drink excessively, I will hold on to that strength. I hope you all have a great day, I will keep you posted on things, keep positive thoughts for my baby.
As promised, I am reporting how much I drank tonight. I ended up having 5 beer over a 4 hour period...again I'm not drunk, but I'm also not excusing my desire to drink too much tonight. I am using my dogs ill health as an excuse to drink and that's not right. I need to be here to care for him and let him know he is truly loved.
There is life and there is death. Death is part of the life cycle. Isn't it? I feel sad about your dog and don't know why, I am down too. I will pray for him. Could you tell me his name? You know, I am a pet lover too. I have adopted 2 abandoned rabbits 8 years ago and one has passed away in May 2010. Since then I can see the one left behind suffering in great depression. She always sit in a corner of my kitchen. (I use a child stopper to divide the kitchen from the dining room for them to running around). So it is a reason why I bring her to my room everynight to talk and play with her. I can see from her, even animal could have a sense of lost when his/her partner has passed away. See, she is now staying next to me when I am posting in the forum.
I have 2 glasses of red wine tonight, don't know why, just feel restless and like to have some wine, but I will keep myself under control not to excess 2 glasses. Soon I will go to sleep and tomorrow will be a new day.
Glad to know that most of the MoGa Ladies are in good shape. Let us keep our faith for our sober even though we have encountered difficulties.
