My lost weekend started on Halloween and now it's almost Thanksgiving. I'm trying to pick up the pieces - I haven't done dishes or laundry in weeks.
Day two, not drinking. Thankful and not quite as sick.
I'm probably going to take a long vacation from all message boards. (actually I only visit two anyway) I don't think Babble is healthy for me. It was good for medication issues but online socializing, putting myself out there, is somehow painful. I end up feeling worse.
I have to take care of myself first or I'll be no good to anybody.

Take care, Verne. I understand how vulnerable you feel - I'm feeling the same way - and the only thing to do is be as kind as you possibly can to yourself, including keeping away if necessary.
Thinking of you. A big hug.

I'm back and drinking. Made it a week. I haven't given up hope.
I was so thankful every day I didn't drink and wonder how I could blow it after only a week, or have ever made it six months and two months within the last year.
I'm too isolated. I have no friends. I have so little interaction with people in the real world I'm surprised I can still speak English. Won't my ability to speak eventually atrophy?
I could write my own "Castaway" screenplay.

I like to read books aloud when I'm alone to hear myself talking. I really am that vain.
I haven't belone alone until now and it is so much safer here in the house, than out there trying to fit in.
