I've been feeling disappointed in myself recently. I haven't been doing as well as I know I could be. Not just with drinking but with eating healthy, working out, and tackling this damn webnair class I'm taking. Now I am about to have a crazy schedule and this will make most of these things even harder to accomplish. It should keep me from wanting to drink though.
Anyway I need to get out of this Funk and "buck up" . No time for self pity.

I think you'll do just fine :)

Sounds like you are being a bit tough on yourself. I know feeling overwhelmed is something that has been at the root of my drinking in the past. Just pace yourself on these various things and know that you will make better progress if you remain sober.

It is very difficult to harness all things together at once.

Don't beat yourself up. We all wish we could stop drinking, workout 7 days a week, and look beautiful, while crushing in professionally and financially.

But there's only so much we can control.

Have faith in yourself. It will be OK

Hand in there. It's hard to try to control so many things at once. Just try to make more good choices than bad choices at the end of the day. I agree with Dan about getting out there and making a bit of time for exercise. It always seems to help. Hugs!

I have a great bike and I jump on to clear my head. It takes me through the town and around some back roads where corn is growing! I don't take a radio, just enjoy the quiet and the scenery. A doe and her twins came out of a corn field one morning just in front of me!

Also, you can put on some great music and dance in your house! It takes away stress.

Wish you a great weekend.

I totally get it. I have a few things that I absolutely MUST be doing, but I am dragging my feet. Still have not taken a drink, however, so that's something.

I think I will follow coreen1's tip and put on some music. Always improves my mood. You might consider doing the same.

Hang in there!

Thanks everyone. I did go and exercise. Feeling pretty good about that. I even managed to get in 5 mins of meditation. One day at a time. I am certainly going to try and take your advice. Make more good choices than bad.
