I've been gone for awhile. Now I'm back. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
I found another stash, and I'm not at all surprised by it. I want to leave, but I honestly feel like I can't. It's the holidays, they'll be ruined. I don't have a place to go at the moment. He's going to go to the therapist and get tested for adult ADHD, maybe meds will help. I have a lot of excuses.
I'm a lot braver and willing to take action when I'm angry. But I'm not angry, just tired. I have all of next week off of work, which is great. Maybe I'll just take care of myself, plan, and try and figure it all out. Because I really have no idea what to do any more.
Hi Spidie, welcome back! I agree with Betty, some meetings can start you back into perspective. Also, reading past posts of yours would be a great thing to spend your time on next week, remind you where you were a year ago.
Hi Spider .. welcome back .. glad you are here. Sometimes just getting sick and tired of being sick and tired doesn't require anger .. it's just knowing enough is enough and things need to change.
Hugs S :)

WB Spider - the door is always open....sorry for what brings you back - and I agree with above me - meetings and one day at a time. The answers will come.
I too am not good at processing when I am tired - it's just the way my brain is wired.
(((Hugs)))

I understand. Welcome back. Be gentle on yourself and let go a bit. Sometimes we just need to rest and just let things be....even if they're uncomfortable...just to give ourselves a chance to step back and breathe. HUGS

This is a awful disease and maybe you will be able to help another new comer to find recovery. (((hugs)))
Great to see you back Spider.
It's a demanding time of year especially for we, the alcoholic entourage. Be kind to you!!
