You make me laugh Barbara. tonight at work that's how I'll describe the chardonnay. And if you want a red, try this decomposed rancid skunk blood?
It's really helping me too. It seems we have similar patterns in regards to swamp juice and patterns, etc.
I feel the more support we can get into place the better. I think since I'm on the medication, I'm on that diet plan and with support from you and friends, I can stick to just one (at a time) for months now. I may be overly ambitious; but I feel strongly about this. I went about three months last summer with nothing and about 6 weeks in the spring/late winter with nothing. And what I've found is once I start drinking again after abstinence, it is very controlled, but it really just takes time before the pattern comes back, re: regrooving the pathways in 30-90 days. It's great we have so much awareness around it and try not to beat ourselves up too much. The awareness is big. I have improved so much in the drinking dept. over the years.
And sometimes, it's harder to abstain (it is harder) when i'm on the higher end of things. CELEBRATE LIVING!!!!
It's something about needing an outlet, an expression, a celebration of life and ourselves and how much we love and are enchanted by it.
Maybe on a regular basis doing something of an outlet for this? that is healthy. When the urge to drink it there maybe try and find another outlet. If i had a boyfriend, mine would be sex. So maybe it just transfers from one "addiction" to another.
I understand that alive energy all too well. It's just what to do with it; it almost feels like depression is a natural follow to this energy. Because for me it's often plugged back down and not allowed full expression - it's depressed. It feels like BP is so much about energy - maybe transforming that energy in life affirming creative expressions? It's so difficult b/c the energy sometimes takes on a life of its own. You know what I mean.
all for now!
