Whatcha doooooooin'?

Eating dinner. I listened to an 8 hour stop binge drinking hypnosis last night. So far no desire to drink. Yes it's probably just putting a bandaid on things but some relief from the need might help me get perspective on why its a need right now. I have to solve the underlying problem which is my symptomatic response. I need a break from it all so I can keep myself going.

I drank when I was undiagnosed. I had 20 something years of sobriety at one time. I drank again for 4 months before getting diagnosed ( beer was about all.. And not my drug of choice. I did do some whiskey but it wasn't the same) I don't drink today and would have 4 1/2 years of sobriety. Alcohol quits working. It dehydrates humans including me and doesn't get a human high like they think. Me included. You my dear, need a meeting! Call your sponsor if you have one.

I worked today and started shopping for cats. Found an 8 month old female, that is up to date on shots, spayed. She doesn't like cats, people and kids. Purrrrrfect cat for us!?. In the meantime, I'm watching my cat get sicker.

Sitting in bed with my cat listening to music and reading this forum. I had a good t appointment today.

eta: sorry Deanna, just support her the only way we can in times like this. Happy you found a potential 8mo female.

Well, our application was denied on the 8 month old. This organization doesn't believe in declawing. We declawed our cat at the front paws only. So forget that. Bummed. Maybe we are not meant to get a cat for awhile.

Well, actually we got another 8 month old just now. I saw her last night. Its been a rollar- coaster all day like this for me. First we will get a cat.. Then it will fall thru .. Or won't be exactly right for our situation. Did this about 4 times already today!????

Yeah, I think just cutting their claws monthly is better these days.

We're relaxing after dinner. Watching an older miniseries Blackbeard and going to have dessert soon.

What happened to Bellbird? She's not active anymore?

Hey @DharmaGirl - yes doing the mother thing. :wtf: But I've escaped and driven home through a huge wind storm. Wasn't so good.

I'm shutting down the helpful side of me for a while because it's all getting out of hand.

I am supposed to go and help out another family member later this week but I'm not feeling so well now. So going to cut and run on that. Anyway I've got a power of chores to do in my own home which I have effectively neglected for almost the whole year. Better do that and oh yeah I want to sleep!

Up at 1:30 in the morning again, not surprisingly. Maybe I will Google something interesting....

I remember Bellbird saying something of the sort that she was spending too much time online and was planning to cut back. Been there; done that. It helps. As far as I can believe, no worries. This is in response to someone who asked back there somewhere.

Curled up in bed, meds taken, watching a bit of ben fogle : new lives in the wild.

I'm waiting on J, he's picking up Chinese food on the way home from work. Gotta love the man! Then we'll probably watch a movie and hit the hay.
