Hi to all,
I dont want to whine, so I want go into details. I wanted so badly to even call my therapist, Lucy Van Pelt, ()but did not have five seconds alone today. I am leaving tomorrow for a dreaded trip, so will be out of touch mostly, but as the Antabuse arrived so did a huge blow that mentally knocked my breath out and will take some time to recover from, thus the reason for this post. I will get past it, and I know drinking will not help. But I havent taken that first Antabuse, and today I just wanted to check out. I wont. In fact, I went to a "Relay for Life" Benefit tonight and got up and shared my Mom's story of her fight for cancer and her upcoming wedding! I have so much positive to hold onto, but today it just felt like I spiraled down a mental path that I feel I have to stay vigilent on.

Any funny stories, or kick booty one liners will be welcomed when I log on again tomorrow night. I plan to start the Antabuse Tuesday.

thanks for listening,
P4T

Hi Prest

Boy it sure seems like you have gone through some rough times lately.


The thing that helps me the most... and of course is the hardest...


Well, when things look bad, you look to others right? Especially women look elsewhere?

That is fine to an extent.

BUT the best, most reliable stuff you will get is in your own heart.

It is not reliable in the sense of totally accurate, but accurate for living life!

My advice to you is to trust yourself, in all its rightness and wrongness. You will sort it out later.
