Stressed
Feeling stressed at the moment,lack of sleep and worried about my daughter.Sometimes I think it would be easier to have a drink than deal with life,Right now I feel as if I'm in a continual fight in my own mind,trying to do the right thing but my brain telling me I need something to relax.Why is life so hard,
I know the reality of what would happen if I had 1 drink,but my mind is trying to convince me if I only drink when stressed it will be ok.
The war in my head rages on.

She's a trooper she was working part time and only stopped yesterday,because I sort went off at her,oops,
I just thought she was silly still pushing herself with only 2 1/2 weeks left,and with everything else that has happened I told her to grow up and stop trying to be a hero,I'm bad.so when she picked Aden up yesterday afternoon she told me she'd finished up,I was so relieved.
She has a Drs appointment today and a ob gyn appointment on Friday,they should know then if she can get the MRI in time.

he says worse when we awake girl.....it would just get bleeped out here if i typped it!:)
I have a feeling the devil thinks that about a few of us!! lol
Narla, keep us posted on how she is doing. I am sure by now she is ready for this baby to get here. You cant believe the flood of emotions that will come over you when you 1st lay your eyes on this precious bundle now that you are clean and sober. It was different this time when my granddaughter was born. She cried, i cried, she layed there and slept, i cried, she would make a noise, i cried, you get the drift!! Am still sending prayers your way for your daughter~~~~~sara

happy cat day.....Bastet came thru!:)she's lucky some varmint didn't get her...she got her front claws?
Well wherever she was hopefully she wont do that again. I am just glad she is home safe and sound. Is Narla better now?
She's fixed,she's very subdued today and a bit skittish,didn't want to go out all day,
I'd love to know where she was.
I'd love to know where she was.
Oh YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Is she fixed? She must of been out "catin" around!! LOL
The prodigal kitty has returned,looking great,no injuries,I'd love to know what she was up to lol
she was gone for 48 hours,she was starving when she came in and just sat at her food bowl. I think I'll change her name to the wanderer.
Thanks for everyones concern,one problem sorted.

me 2.....lotsa prayers for ur daughter and all in my house have their paws crossed for the prodigal kitty!
I hope your daughter can get in before the baby is born but if she cant then they are doing the right thing by doing a c-section.
I have everything crossed that i can cross that kitty comes home safely. hugs my friend, sara

My daughter is been booked in for an MRI but we don't know if they can fit her in before the baby arrives,if not then it's a c-section.
Simba the cat that is missing hasn't turned up yet and her sister Narla is going crazy looking for her.We live in hope.

oh jeez lost kitty!i'd be upset too...may Bast the eyptian cat goddess be watching over her...don't chuckle readers....narla needs all the help she can get!!!!
No,it's been 24 hours since we last saw her and she has never been out at night before.
Her sister just keeps miaowing and running to the door she misses her already,we just have to hope she's safe and not hurt somewhere,

Did your cat come home? Take some deep breaths. When it rains it pours doesnt it?
I accept I can not change what is happening
I can change my attitude to what is happening
The difference is
- not been able to change the situation is reality
- the courage to change my attitude comes from within and I can do this
Thank you Sara,sometimes you need perspective on a situation,as long as our long awaited for baby and my daughter are both alive and healthy that's all that matters.

I am currently in the process of quitting right now. Maybe I’m in this dark abyss right now for a reason – maybe to remind you that it’s a disgusting and painful process! I have taken the advice to slowly get myself off by drinking a ½ glass of wine a night to lower the withdrawal symptoms. Thankfully the most I have experienced is a little night sweats, lack of sleep and some terrible nightmares. I have been experiencing different things in my health that I’m not sure of what they are yet. I’m scared to find out. Actually today I promised to set an appointment with my doctor as I haven’t been in for a while and I need to have that dreadful discussion with her. I have to find that moment to just make the call and set the appointment and then go ahead and deal with this.
I seriously feel your pain Narla! You always seem so upbeat in your postings and generally happy. I actually envy your sobriety! Don’t make the mistake by going back to where I am today. Maybe you could speak to your doctor about this. Maybe just get yourself outside for a walk, try deep breathing or something that usually calms you down. Two days ago I had another blow that would normally send me running for the booze and I actually didn’t that time. I got out of the house and took my dogs for a walk and for that one time regained my sanity. Keep posting and keep strong-best of luck to you!
