Whether or not you read the books. It's life showing up—life. I think you did great. We all have moments when the best we can do is not drink. At 9.5 years sober I still to take a nap to not feel sh*t I'd rather not feel. And Lord knows I never want to drink again despite what my f**king head says.

This is an incredibly inspirational read, also very motivating - and now I have a great tip up my sleeve for how to ride the next wave; retail therapy :)<br /><br />Thank you for the list of books that you listed in a previous comment, I was going to ask - but now I have written them down. I've never read a drunk book, so that'll be very interesting.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing my dear friend, take care! *hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-81440836052330861572013-09-10T13:29:19.763-04:002013-09-10T13:29:19.763-04:00Nope...always room for one more at Target!!!!

ELMO'S A VERY LUCKY MAN! lol<br /><br />Sobering up has awakened me to my own reactions that I used to drown in booze. I am very much a stress eater and now I have the pitiful, "I already gave up booze, what else do I have to give up?" mentality to go along with it. But it is great to be alert enough to recognize what is going on in this head of mine and recognize the bullshit I try to feed myself. This summer when I was living on my own, without the cap'n and his candy hoard enticing me, I found that if I made out the menu for the week and went to the grocery store and just bought the needed items, I didn't really have urges and I looked forward to what I was going to be preparing. I ate my three meals a day and didn't really have cravings between. Of course, now that the cap'n and I are done working and back to living under the same roof, all of that has gone out the window.<br /><br />I'm feeling a little girlfriend jealousy here, I want to go to Target too! I feel like the teenage girl that went away for the summer and came back to find her girlfriends have forgotten her. My own damn fault, I've got to get back in the game!Kary Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674442468925628974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-45513979562541750202013-09-09T20:39:25.822-04:002013-09-09T20:39:25.822-04:00Hello my sweet friend!

I am going to start on Monday so the 16th is my start date. I have started making a meal plan and snack plan, I'm going to have to be organised for myself and the family because I feed 4 other people all day every day. This is good, I really need this. I am even going to buy their newsletter service and get that every day.. Mr D is going to stick with me at home.. looking at the food blogs they recommend with lots of recipes .. it will be hard but good. xxxxMrs Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110933370498728198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-66687943850091065522013-09-09T18:13:19.560-04:002013-09-09T18:13:19.560-04:00Hi Bugs.. have you read Russell Brand's books?...Hi Bugs.. have you read Russell Brand's books? He was a heroin guy I think. My Booky Wook and My Booky Wook 2 I think they're called. I just read Kelly Osborne, her thing was vicoden. Also Ninety Days by Bill Clegg. His thing was crack cocaine. I just googled "memoir of heroin addiction" and a lot came up. xxxxMrs Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110933370498728198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-21591896402910900362013-09-09T15:05:42.113-04:002013-09-09T15:05:42.113-04:00Elmo's comment is very sweet.

I can guess who that is. ;o) <br /><br />Once I knew I was taking the weekend off, I ate everything I wanted....a small bag of chips, 2 diet cokes, popcorn, a Hershey kiss....ok 3, the wedding chocolate mousse pie, and a bowl of ice cream....not all at once or on the same day of course! Over my 3 days of cheating. But your right Sherry....I wasn't craving any of the above items....I just wanted them! Big difference. I am having a lot of feelings coming up these past couple weeks....I will blog about it in a bit, but food isn't among it all really. It was fun to binge, but I was really looking forward to this morning and getting back on track....structure and parameters feel good. Bless you for doing this!

There's no stopping you! <br />Second, Bless your husband's sweet heart<br />Third, I was asking in a post the other day (yet another one that I didn't even publish!) if anyone could recommend any good books by Heroin addicts who have got clean. I can relate to these sober blogs and I read and re-read them often . . . But I would love to read one relating to Heroin. Can you recommend one please? Just one would be fine. I can't find any Bloggers who have kicked the habit, so maybe a good book if you know of one?<br />Thanks Sherry, sending love x<br />PS I read "in the old days I would have taken the hubs for a ride up in our room" ;-)bugerlugs63https://www.blogger.com/profile/08598249255143939365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-60903034910263550422013-09-09T14:06:53.238-04:002013-09-09T14:06:53.238-04:00I didn't know about your reading, triggering t...I didn't know about your reading, triggering that feeling on Sunday....however, never feel that you don't want to interupt whatever is happening in my life to talk to me...I'm always there and here for you and I got your back even when you don't feel you need it...Love you baby...elmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245933883115491085noreply@blogger.com
