a drink isn't the answer. hang in there and hugs donna

Don't give them that power over you, here's just a suggestion Pray for them to get everything they deserve even if you think they deserve a big ol pile of flamming dog do!

Why let those people with small mind ever find a way to get to you.

Marie, there is no magic genie in that bottle to make you feel better - if you picked up tonight all you would wake up to in the morning would be remorse and a hangover. THAT is what alcohol does for you - and worse, far worse if you continue.

Meditation, prayer, working the programme of recovery and a spiritual awakening will truly set you free from your woes to make you strong enought to deal with anything.

Phone your sponsor or get in touch with a contact in AA.

Have a talk with God, He will be listening.

I spent years avoiding my problems by burying them in alcohol. Now I have to face them and deal with them. Each time I handle something like the day that you went through it gets easier. Hang in there.

I had a day like that yesterday and felt exactly like you do now...but i did'nt drink and you know what???

It was bloody hard but I'm so very proud I got through it and feel so much better about it today.

The bottle masks the problems for a while but they are always there in the morning plus a hangover and remorse.

Thinking of you. x

You're welcome. Keep writing. Mike

I just talked to a sponsee also having a bad day. I told her no one can make us feel anything unless we allow it.

It is a concept that took some time for me to understand and work.

Hang up the phone with people that want to bring you down. I stay way from negative folks today.

I have choices today. Hugs*

thank you all never had a drink i dont miss it iv gone though to much and need to get away from my country and start a new life thanks again hugs to all

Don't let people, get in the way of being sober.. You just need to tune them out.. Laugh at them, and how pathetic they are. Today, I am 1 yr sober, maybe that will give you encouragement.. May blessings find you..

hi marie, be careful with that valium hun, I found it is like a cocktail in pill form. It is so addictive. Good you are not drinking, just from experience though if you like booze you will like tranquilizers too.

valium and alcohol is a very deadly combination.stay away from both substances, I saw a friend of mine detox off valium, it was the most horrible detox, I have seen, had boils and everything kicking the substance out.
