Up North Girl is sharing

I know I have not been in the nest for a couple weeks--just popped in a bit after my last downfall--but wanted to let you all know that I am doing fine. I am on the Antabuse and the Topamax and lots of Vitamin Supplements along with the Antidepressants. I am keeping extremely busy and seeing my therapist twice a week plus attending two meetings a week. I am finally coming to an understanding that I am NOT a terrible person who deserves to have a bad things happen to her, :upset: and I am NOT responsible for others' behaviors and I can NOT let their behaviors control me (AKA known as drinking to make it all go away). There are messed up people out there and it has nothing to do with me. DUH!

I am completely physically healed from the assault but still have trouble sleeping. This too shall pass. No worries.

We had a scheduled vacation several weeks ago, which we extended several days to attend a weekend retreat, which was wonderful. I came back with a new attitude and seem to be approaching life's difficulties in a more positive way (of course, that could be the meds talking). My sense of humor is returning, thank heavens! I need it. :H

Take care all. Hope everyone is hanging in there and I promise to get back in the nest on a daily basis and check in--I like it here--to see how you are faring. Hugs to all, have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Pappa and Sunshine, special hugs to you. Will talk later. Take care.

UNG-I'm so glad to hear from you. Of course you are not a bad person. You deserve to have GOOD things happen to you. Other people's behavior is their own responsiblity. People choose how they behave and you are in no way responsible for that. It sounds as if you are working hard and pulling things back together. I've really missed you and your sense humor. Laughter is the best medicine. Come here and we'll laugh a lot!

I know the rest of the newbie's will be rustling their feather's and getting ready to take flight soon. Hope everyone has a great day!

I had the tunes cranking in truck this morning on the way to work, early I might add!, and I caught myself doing some drivers seat boogie! :alf: AngieUK - I love your, "snuggle up in the nest of protection", it's definately the truth, MWO and all of you have kept me 20 days AF and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :thanks: Oops, I'm at work and getting all choked up.....my sunglasses please! You all said it would get better and it is, everyday is better than the last. I'm off the supp's and meds, flying solo with you as my co-pilot!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!! :rays:

Well, nesters, it was kind of quiet here today! I am going to call it a night. It's been another really long day at work. I cam home in a grumpy mood and seem to be stuck in it. Probably best if I hop up on the GIT (grouchy irritable twig) and go to sleep!

Chops, I'm glad your Blazers won.

Leave the light on for PR!

Good night.

Good Morning, Just checking in, it looks like it's going to be another beautiful Spring here. I was stopped by the police this morning, I was supposedly60 mph in a 45 mph. But he only gave me a warning!!!! :happy: So you see...it's true...things do get better!!!! :H I was doing well yesterday, feeling great, really busy at work, and then about 4:00pm I started getting some real cravings. So I ate an orange, and opened up MWO, read and posted a bit, and I was ok going home 4:30pm, and I didn't drink!!!
Day 21 AF WOOHOO!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!!! Let's kick butt, and end April AF.:yay:

Hi All,

The stomach flu kicked my butt for 24 hours, but the upside is that I am on day 3.
