I think alcohol is one of the harder ones, as it is ubiquitious. Even cigarettes aren't everywhere anymore. Around my part of the world, weed is more socially acceptable, and I depend on that one too much as well. I wish you luck, hold on to your sanity, and I sympathize about bro/sil.

(this is all free association.)<br /><br />karen; i always love to hear from "normal" women. you've often been a gauge for me. thank you!<br /><br />i keep realizing that i haven't written about being engaged. i think i'll do that. i'm thrilled. we're going great. and me, the least traditional of gals, well -- i worship my ring. (i come from a long line of hippies. i think my sister and cousins think it's a little goofy. i prefer to think it's because they don't have sparklers of their own.)<br /><br />so karen, love comes at any time. my guy is adorable, faithful, loyal,smart, funny... we've worked on a lot. he's more patient and communicative. and is a very good man. that's what will be there for you.<br /><br />now.is.now: well, i like you too! thank you. <br /><br />these last years have been something. i wasn't always a particularly nice person. i was so angry and miserable and self-protective and scared. i've worked so much on being a better person. it's extraordinary when someone sees that i am. your words are the greatest gift.<br /><br />hope you're having a great day too. it's very beautiful here in NJ today. i love, love, love the sunI Hate to Weighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241064340434705588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-90232472596182110782009-10-04T15:40:40.793-07:002009-10-04T15:40:40.793-07:00Hey, there.

And I can feel your energy through your writing and I can tell that you're just a wonderful person through and through.<br /><br />Congratulations on all the hard work you've done to free yourself from wine and drugs and get to the place where you were able to have a great time in Pittsburgh in a really authentic way.<br /><br />You do have a challenging, event-filled bit of time coming up. Try to stay connected with yourself, your core and just be real with your wants, needs, and limits. <br /><br />Hope you're having a great day!now.is.nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102652111745735039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-10398717862655362232009-10-04T07:20:56.179-07:002009-10-04T07:20:56.179-07:00I think you are doing very, very well.

Even we non ED sufferers relish a smaller number on the scale, and feel just a twinge of self reproach as we scarf down something rich and heavy on the calories. But we still do it. And live with the tighter pants. <br /><br />I'm glad your fiance is such a great source of support for you. He sounds like a very good man. I'm also glad to see that he has gone from Boyfriend, to fiance. Congratulations, to the both of you.Karen ^..^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05197114237324824217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-50747442937523999432009-10-03T20:01:15.616-07:002009-10-03T20:01:15.616-07:00Whoa Nelly that sounds like a busy few weeks ahead...Whoa Nelly that sounds like a busy few weeks ahead of you.

I think it's great that you are thinking ahead and coming up with coping strategies to deal with these people and situations. I so admire you for getting off the klonopin, the crack, the wine - everything. That's quite a feat and you should be proud! You're definitely not so bad, quite the opposite.<br /><br />I also wish it was a little easier.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151061142781327531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-66607763175514108172009-10-02T11:58:51.830-07:002009-10-02T11:58:51.830-07:00thank you, linda. you're wise indeed, as alway...thank you, linda. you're wise indeed, as always. <br /><br />i went to the bookstore yesterday and started loading up. when i travel, even for long business trips, there are always many more books than clothes, and that probably includes underwear.<br /><br />eating alone; oh you made me laugh really loudly at work. thank you!<br /><br />i do need to look at my eating. i forget to properly "fuel" my body and start thinking about the weight thing sometimes.<br /><br />working on everything IS hard. i also stopped taking klonopin at Christmas AND, drumroll, have been off crack for over two years. <br /><br />Hey, i'm not so bad.

The night before was a similar feast. I enjoyed every bit as I now know how much to have (as opposed to a BINGE).<br /><br />But today the urge is ignored and I am just back to eating healthy food. For most of the time I am mindful of what I eat - for health reasons. So, a few days of munching randomly is fine. <br /><br />The wine thing is hard. I never drink (social outcast) as it makes me very ill. It took a long time to get used to being the non drinker in a group of drinkers.<br /><br />Take some good books with you. Do some writing. Allow yourself a bit of indulging. Everything in moderation. You are doing so well.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.com
