Slipping into Complacency

I feel it happening.  I am edging towards drinking.  I feel like I am in free fall with nothing to stop me.  Life is not bad.  I am relatively happy.  I can't put a finger on why this craziness is starting again.

It's like I am planning it.

  1. Debbie....🙏. Do you really want to slip into a spiral again...or is that your mind playing tricks on you.....please stay with me...I need you here Debbie....you need you here. .....
    Be still for 5 minutes before you take that first drink....don't listen to the voices in your head... It's not who you are....
    Bless your day....I'm praying for you deeply.
    Xoxo. Hugs

    1. Thank you Jeanette, you have really given me food for thought. I will think of these words when I am at the edge of the cliff. For now I am still sober and hope I get over this hump. So far I am with you,hand in hand. xoxo Thank you.

  2. I know you don't know me, but I know this feeling. I've been there. I also know that if you can hang in there, you'll turn a corner and the craziness will slip away. The important thing is not to indulge the craziness, to feed it and make it more real. Distract yourself. Pamper yourself. Be extravagant with yourself.

    I'm cheering for you, and hoping you don't end up where I am now. Starting over.

    1. Annie, you've been with me all along and I appreciate your ongoing support. You are absolutely right of course. I am feeling like the crisis is nearly over and hopefully will be able to hang on to my sobriety. I'll have to remember this time as a near miss. Thank you.

    1. Yes, I had forgotten. Thank you so much for reminding me. I may get through this crisis unscathed thanks to you and the others honest comments. I don't feel strong yet, but I am not planning on drinking anymore. Scary alkie brain I have.
