I have such a freaking superiority complex, especially since I quit drinking, I am insufferable. So yes, put me in the bitch sector.Kary Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674442468925628974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-65785249566993832832014-01-15T09:50:46.409+13:002014-01-15T09:50:46.409+13:00hi mrs d. love your blog and the way you are able ...hi mrs d. love your blog and the way you are able to describe and articulate your emotional processes. it is really helping me unpack my anxiety and panic attacks. i think it is very true that being able to label and express the emotion, feeling, reason etc does rlease it and restores our equilibrium. i am noticing how disconnected i am from my feelings and tru responses to situations due to all my tears of self medicating to manage life. without the wine all i have at present is anxiety as a response. holding the space for all your men and being the go to person for all things for the move would be exhausting. i really understand how you described responding to life's situations without alcohol is like living with volume turned up LOUD. there is no quick fix to tone it down which is what the wine used to do very quickly. you are an inspiration and your family are blessed to have such a woman in their lives.gigimamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583270176891940549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-56007424827390873722014-01-15T04:00:26.421+13:002014-01-15T04:00:26.421+13:00I do my bingeing hovering in the dark corners of t...I do my bingeing hovering in the dark corners of the pantry, or maybe over by the sink. Always standing up and never actually in front of anyone. Gasp, that would be too crazy! I don't know what to say about sugar anymore because how I'm doing with it varies by day or stressor. I do think we are at a disadvantage, still, when it comes to coping with stress, and to that end sugar fits the bill. From what I've gathered from others with more time, it gets easier and we shouldn't be too hard or unrealistic with ourselves. Good luck with the move, Mrs. D. That's incredibly hard and I hope you are really happy in your new home.

Put thoughts and feelings into words and they become easier to understand and manage.'<br /><br />I've been thinking about this recently and its so true isn't it!

Amazeballs indeed.

"Brutal ...You KNOW I'm exactly like this! "Brutal honesty gives mr power". YES!!! I've been doing that since I was a child. If I was honest and upfront about how fucked up my family and life were, no one could hold it over me...I held the power. No one else.<br /><br />And isn't it amazing how just a look from our husband's can open the floodgates? And once it's out of my face and into the universe, well then I'm all better!<br /><br />I think it's just how we're wired. And I'm okay with that!<br /><br />SherrySoberMomWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845259535764391849noreply@blogger.com
