I've enjoyed complete freedom from having a drinking problem for three years now, and I want to keep it going! The minute I noticed any kind of returning problem with my drinking, I quit completely again. I give myself a lot of credit for this. But the very last thing on earth I ever need again is a drinking problem! It's Easy to say NO to that! I love sobriety so much, and I love having control of myself.
For many reasons this month has been really hard for me---and I'm turning 58 on the 31st. I drank more than I planned to last night, and more than is good for me.... So I'm Done! It was a nice escape for the most part, but I'm not messing around with booze; it's potentially dangerous for me. And I'm too precious for that! :)
I feel great, albeit this hangover... first one in three years. I definitely did not miss hangovers!
I'll keep my medical cannabis, which I have never abused, and which I have never used more than sporadically, and only at night. And I get to start taking the sublingual CBD drops soon, which will heal more of my health issues! Without the high.
Getting high isn't as fun as it used to be when I was a youth! And I'm no Bill Maher! Although, the THC is a God-send when CFS symptoms are acting up at night; which mercifully for me isn't that often.
So... am I making sense?? I am, huh!?
Here's a new blog post from a friend who is successfully treating MS with CBD drops: http://msquill.com/?p=529
Mostly About My FOO (family of origin), And My Recovery From Them -- "If you know your mother doesn't tell you the truth, don't keep acting like she does." ~ Iyanla Vanzant "If you know that your father has a tendency to not honor his word, don't keep trusting he's going to do what he says he's going to do (just) because he's your father." ~ Iyanla Vanzant
2016 Update: I care more about this blog than I do that "they" can read it, otherwise I'd stop writing it and create a new one. As long as they finally leave me and my little family alone, there should be no problem, even though I requested that they don't read it. Since they have no interest in my writing, I'm probably safe. I hope so hard they will finally respect our wishes of no contact. I care so much about telling the truth and bringing healing. I fought my entire life to bring communication, truth, and healing to my FOO. There's nothing left to fight for so I have given up, at age 59. I can now only bring healing to myself and other survivors through my words. I finally went back to work on my heart-wrenching memoir that I wrote in 2012 that I originally wrote for them as my last Hope of getting my beloved family of origin and relatives back. But, There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See
