Watchdog on my A**
Permalink  
 


I had a close call last night. I got upset at something someone said and did. Didn't see it coming and my guard was down. Self pity started in....got a bit resentment for this and that....more self pity...and bam, next thing I know I was thinking about taking a walk to the nearest "wasted" receptacle to buy something to drink.

I contacted a member and shared my "plan" and we talked and I ended up not doing it. Thank God.

I talk too much too. As well as think too much. I am going to have to have a watchdog on my butt. Not out of the woods yet apparently.

You are welcome! Man, today has been a struggle. But I've managed to do two yoga sessions and just went for a walk. So glad the day will be over..lol.

Do a few more of those phone exercises also and maybe a coffee sitdown with another sober alcoholic.   In support.   (((hugs))) smile

Thank you, Jerry. Yeah...I cut back my meetings this week and I know I am going to have trouble when I do that. Also, I realized this morning that I have not been praying and meditating as much. Been really busy doing other things, though, just not taking enough care of my emotional sobriety.

Great for you, lashqueen. Yoga, I hear, is a great thing and I have told myself I should give it a try. (I used to be able to get in the --is it lotus position??--crossed my legs and I used to walk around the room on my knees when I was a kid! LOL! I am sure my back and flexibility would not allow me to do that now!
Also, I have started walking as well (just haven't for last few days, so another whammy on my part).

Keep it up, and I will as well, okay? How are you doing today?

Yep. Great day yesterday! Got a lot done and felt great as well. As long as I keep in mind that "this too will pass" I'm good to go. Glad your day is better, lashqueen. You're doing great!
