Hi all - the end of Tuesday down here,,Pingu - I hope your day gets better real quick. I woke with a headache this morning and by lunchtime I was vomiting - not sure what it was, must be just something going around, but it was SOOOOO very reminiscent of after a night tying one on, it was a grim reminder of where I don't want to be. Unlike if I'd been drinking, I feel a lot better this evening.

Thoughts are going out to you all to have a happy AF day x

Kapone, I am feeling sick and hungover this morning without the benefit of having had a drink.:H

It is a relief to feel yuk without having had a drink if you know what I mean.

Ahoy mario - and yes, anon - i know exactly what you mean! London Marathon - what an amazing thing to be training for - good on you. Well, I'm over and out already - I have a friend here from Australia and it's great to see her after 3 years ! Her first question after we hugged was. "wow - what was prison like" - it's rather easy to forget :H

Morning Guys.

Not caught up with yestees thread but Pingu, hang in there girlie, these periods do seem to come sometimes. The only advice I can give is see them through. Drinking is not the answer, it never will be for the likes of us.

Zen, glad you are having a ball in Ft Laud, hope it gives you a big boost that you seem to need just now.

Hope everyone else is tickety boo. Will try and catch up tonight

Marnin,

Happy Birthday Jackie.
Modding is a touchy subject Pingu, you are always going to get answers you don't like when you put it out there. Moderation is a myth as far as I am concerned.

Glad you are enjoying the holiday Zenners.

Good morning Army!!

Hope you have a smashing day!!!

Pingu, hope you feel better soon and you manage to have a nana nap. Good advice in the above posts and on your thread. Don't let someone who doesn't know you get to you, but do take into consideration that each person has their own style of posting. Some people mean well but come across as blunt and sometimes even sarcastic. I know you've been struggling but you'll figure this out at some point. Kind of like an emotional roller coaster. Lots of ups and downs. You'll get through this.:l:l

Troopers, I hope each and every one of you has a productive day with as few embuggerances as possible.



Off to walk the dogger. Laterz....

Yeah I know
I cut the Meds in half, literally with a sharp knife, and now I am having to deal head on with the issues, emotions and all the shit that's been pushed under the citalopram coated carpet for the last 10 months
And yeah I'm struggling
And since that shitty post, I can't stop crying
It's a relief tho, to cry again. I thought my emotions had gone on a permanent holiday

Pingu, I know feck all about meds --- maybe ya shouldn't have cut the dose yet? Jeez I dunno --- this is coming from one who flushed hers down the jacks! I don't think that post was aimed at 'you' personally -- it was a general response to the idea of modding really, and I know what you mean about bein able to cry --- I've always been able to cry, but feeling a happiness inside -- I'd lost that -- and now I get lovely little 'happy' moments every day - it's lovely:l

please pass some of that onto me
I have tried and tried to be happy and sometimes it is really genuine but sometimes I feel like it's a front to put on, I don't drink therefore my life is better, see I'm smiling (on the surface anyway)
but I haven't cried since Jun 2011 until today, meds block all emotions nicely and when you cut down on them then I guess they all come back.....
I was hungry, lonely, angry and tired last night, I remember someone saying that they were the triggers.. and why couldn't I see last night that was the case and get something nice to eat, find something to do, not chuck my mate off the phone, and take something to help me sleep
My eyes look like a frigginpanda this morning LOL

Have to agree to disagree on that one Oney. One size does not fit all - we are all not the same - good or bad !

Well Satz, that is my opinion based on my own experience and also on so many many people who have tried it.....it may work for a while but more often than not, it creeps back up to where it was. You only have to read the mod thread to see how they struggle with only having 2 drinks etc etc and how it is so hard to stop at that and how they go over their limit on a regular basis. Living with that constant battle of trying not to drink too much??? Hell on earth.

You then have to ask the question, why can you not give up drink? Answer= because you are addicted.

You can fool yourself into believing that you are within the limits, able to stop, moderating very well, not getting drunk, etc etc, heard it all before, but at the end of the day, you came here because you had a problem with your drinking, in that you drink too much and in my opinion, people with drink problems cannot moderate. Full Stop.
