Cyber mom,
What happened to make you want to escape? Even the most together people have moments of unbearable pain.
I don't want to pry, but I realize that you've got plenty of hurt on your plate to warrant an overwhelming need to get away from the pain.
Don't feel bad about posting. You're not obligated to address the concerns of others. You've got plenty of your own. You need the support now.
We're here. And you're NOT old. You related to me on a much needed level today. You gave me some GREAT news. And you have to have been feeling bad then, too. You're still the selfless lady who empathizes with every person whose post she reads.
Please share if you're comfortable with that. I'd love the opportunity to talk to you about this.
I love you always.
Nikki

Hi Grasshopper!:wave: Don't feel bad!! I'm in recovery personally and I can remember the reasons I drank were severe clinical depression, but also just because. No other reason but just because. It's just that something comes over you and it spills over and you just feel like it. Something just wasn't doing it for you that particular day and that's all there is to it. You've got a bunch of people here that love you and care about you unconditionally and you don't owe anyone anything. Just come back and yack with all of us! You are so cool:cool: and you are a blessing to so many:angel: . Let today go and you'll by the grace of God be on track again. Take care and have a good night--Hopeto--

And it is YOUR decision to make. (I drank and drank without having a reason for years. In hindsight, it is so easy to see how I was escaping 'my lot', x, then son). You got drunk and it is now in the past now. Try to learn a lesson from it. If you search had enough, you'll find the reason as to why. I thought you may like a list,

Dear ICC,
I am trying to type softly....I am trying to think softly.....I am trying to giggle softly........I am trying girlfriend honestly I am ....... But having a hard time.... YOU are going to be sorry this morning..... Especially if you wake up with a hangover...... As far as the drinking goes.... Hey you probably had 2 or 3 drinks and were smashed. No tolerance... It's ok......
BUT YOU ARE ALSO A DIABETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I am YELLING AT YOU!!!!!!!! What in gods name were you thinking??????? Booze if nothing more than liquid sugar....... You should have just ate a package of cookies, or a plate full of brownies....ICC you are smarter than this... Having a few drinks in no biggie....UNLESS your diabetic.....
People with PTSD use booze, drugs, and prescription drugs all the time to numb the pain, avoid the flashbacks......ect. ect....So I have no problem understanding this.. I did it too for years. It's WRONG... It doesn't work. It makes things worse... But we do it...
Hon......Don't drink again......Get you numbers back down today, cause I know they are going to be off the charts...
Hugs,
Sid

Drinking only makes me sleepy. I never was into it or found it helpful.

morning all-----thanks for being here. i read everyone's posts yesterday and thanked God Sid was typing softly. was in bed all day:dizzy: Isitme---thanks for the list. Nikki it was missing my sister that hit. Here's what 's going on. I just had a new kitchen put in, had my caprpets torn up and the floors finished and am planning a 50th surprise party for hubby. that not being enough you all know all the hurts that have come out recently. just plain old burnt out. tired. physically and mentally. hubby and I were beat on friday and decided to go grab some dinner at a club a block away from our house. Ordered dinner and though I only have a drink on occassion, sometimes it's 3-5 years in between i decided to have a couple of beers. well 2 is my limit and since a few couples we are friends with were there i was talking away and I guess drinking away and dind't realize it until a few hours later when i looked at my husband and said "time to go I'm plowed" He was glad I had relaxed but knew I needed the bed. Got home and knew I missed my sister even in my drunken fog so I opened my phone book and started calling everyone and anyone :eek: thank God no one answered because i didn't want to talk to these people anyway. Came here ,let you all know i was plowed and went to bed like a good girl. the phone calls were all about being in the past an dI knew that. God how does anyone drink all the time. I had a hangover that could be put in text books. Not quite right still this morning but functioning. Yep SId it's all about the diabetes. It will take me a couple of days to be right again but i will. glucose was good this morning so i'm on the road.
thanks for caring,
Grasshopper

Dear ICC,
I giggled all through reading your post......I remember those days, hungover to the point that I could hardly function. And the night with my arms around the the kings thrown, and my head IN IT!!!!!!!
So how are you numbers today???? Are we going to have to be a good girl now to get them under control again?????
ICC,
I know how it is to miss someone, so I understand.....I hope that things are better this morning and you are thinking a little clearer.....
Hugs.....tons of love sent your way......
Love you girlfriend,
Sid

Morning Sid-----I'll bet you laughed:jester: you know I have never been much of a drinker but on occassion at a good party and the fact that I have no constitution for the stuff I'll have a drink or two. most of the time I don't even finish one because it makes me woozy immediately. I also have so many darn allergies that there really isn't much I can drink. Am allergic to the preservatives in wine and do like a fruity, frosty mixed drink once in awhile when it's hot out but can't do the fruit juices anymore because of the diabetes. Well I guess i figured beer is meant to be guzzled so boy did I guzzle. hangover like no other. too old for this crap. numbers are good today. thank God I know how to get them down. it comes with being diet controlled. I know how much I can cheat and how often and how to fix the damage quickly.all i'm left with today is cotton mouth. I think it was the combo of the drink, the oldies music and just being plain old tired that made the missing start. I know you understand and am glad we met.
Love you lots,
Grasshopper

ICC, "next time" drink plenty of water while you are drinking. I have heard that it is the dehydration that makes you so ill the next morning (because alcohol is a diuretic). This works for us really well. Drink a whole glass of water before you go to bed.

You know sannah usually if I think i'm going to have a couple I will drink bottles of water all day. It has just been so hectic with all the work in the house that I hadn't eaten all day ( sorry Sid) and the main reason for even going out was to eat. I did but then , welll you know the rest. I am glad I let my "hair down" it's been a long time coming. Were with good people who I enjoy. And it acutally slowed me down which is good. I'm not as concerned about getting things "done" right now. it will all happen in it's time.
