Long Holiday Weekend Alone - Suzyq0826's Journal

I have just decided that I am going to leave my office today for three days off and I am going to enjoy them if it's the last thing I do.
I am not going to be lonely, I am not going to be bored, and I am not going to be anxious.
I am going to relax, read a book, watch a movie, go out for dinner, get a haircut and a manicure, do all the things around the house that I can't find the time or desire to do when I'm not alone.
I am going to do whatever it is I feel like doing.
I am not taking any Xanax...maybe just a nice glass of Merlot when I feel like it.
Wow!..Feels good just saying that is what my weekend will be like. Now...to make it happen!

Hey deciding to do it is half the battle. I am learning we can change a lot just by out thoughts so you are on the right track with this.

I am getting a pedicure today and even though I will NOT be alone this weekend I am going to learn from you and make things great for myself. Congrats on not taking the xanax. I used to be on that stuff and it's hard to go off of sometimes.

Love and prayers

Yay, Suzi. Hope you have a great weekend. If you need the Xanax, so be it. Don't beat yourself up, ok?

So far, so good. Talked to hubby for about 2 hours this morning...2am Korean time. He has a hard time sleeping when he's travelling...sitting outside with my laptop getting some sun...about ready for shower #2 for the day, it's 100 degrees out here. No Xanex yet!

Still hot, still no Xanax, still feeling good. Got my grocery shopping done, laundry and housework. The rest of the weekend is mine! It's very quiet and peaceful and I'm going to just go sit out on the deck and relax with a glass of wine.

I am really surprising myself....it's Saturday night, I haven't had any Xanex since Thursday, and doing pretty good....except for a minor attack last night when I was trying to sleep amidst the fireworks and music from the party across the road...I told myself to just ignore it and go back to sleep and eventually I did, without meds....could it be I really don't need those anymore and could get by just keeping them in my purse? If I can go 2 days, why can't I go 3...barring any REAL crisis, what makes one day any different from the day before? I think I can do this! :-)))
