I know what you mean about the stuff the psych says... i struggle to get my head around it too... especially when i walk out and my brain goes to sleep again...

Wow and doing well.. 26 days... good woman...

I just want you to know i think of you ... and hope you are doing well... despite all the stuff in your life...

i hope your family become more supportive... but i understand why you don't want to be with them a lot... no judgement...

take care

Hello,

26 days is great! I have been told by my psychiatrist that I shouldn't ever drink again until I am mentally well. I have found staying away and moderating is just another one of the hardest addictions to stop. I am impressed and glad to hear this from you :)

You are definately on the right track, chin up!

Take notes when you see the psychiatrist. I do that with mine - questions and answers so I understand what is happening with me.

26 days - go girl!!! That is great to read. That should be the diary and not an add on because that is a great achievement and you should be proud of yourself. Go girl!!! Keep up the great work.

Sorry the head is causing you problems but putting it down in writing is theraputic.

Go Nouse!!!

Hi Nouse,

If anyone here can appreciate your massive 26 day effort it's me - CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE - be proud of yourself.

Learning to handle issues and emotions without the usual crutch (alcohol) is a new beginning, and sometimes not a very comfortable one, but you're doing great.

I hope you're going to treat yourself to a reward at 1 month sober, I'm going to treat myself to something on or about the 2nd of each month, so just went into a massage therapy business up at blackwood where I live and got one of the "menu's" so I can pick what sort of relaxation massage I'm going to treat myself to. Do you like massages, or perhaps a manicure or pedicure. Do something nice for yourself and try and switch off for a while (I know it's easier said than done, I've been where you are... but know there is an end to it eventually... I think I'm just about through).

So you go girl, I'm so very proud of you and you are in my thoughts constantly.

Dear Nouse

I am new to DepNet, but was touched when I read your diary entry. You are so brave and have done so well in keeping sober for 26 days. Well done.

Because of everyone's courage, I am going to add my own diary comments. This from a very private person who struggles to talk about my ptsd.

You all seem wonderful to me - thank you.

Wishing you well
Dolly

Hey Nousie Nouse...its no wonder you haven't had much energy! Apart from depression and meds, your body's been dealing with some chemical changes related to the absence of alcohol. But give yourself a break! You're doing great. It won't be long before it's a whole month, then two months....

but one step at a time.

You're doing well, and in time you will sleep soundly.

:)

Hey Nouse,

Thanks for your comment on my diary entry. I would love to catch up with you one day, hopefully in the not too distant future. I think we have a lot to offer one another.

I go to an AA meeting at Mitchell Park on Thursday's at 12.00 noon, perhaps you'd like to come along one day. I should be at most of them in the coming weeks, except perhaps for one in about 3 weeks.

My name is Karen and again, I'd love to catch up with you.
