    Urgh, I am out of control on the booze front, stuck on 5/21 for October, drinking like a fish and starting to feel awful both physically and emotionally about it.. so I'm on the wagon for the rest of October. I'm ok if I don't start but once I start I can't stop and it's a bit of a problem, so I'm stopping now. Not having a job isn't helping, as I have no excuse not to drink in the week.

    I have given myself a good talking to, and it's fizzy water all the way for me until at least 1 November.
    Say what you mean.. mean what you say... without being mean.

    Aww that's tough Annie - it's stressful looking for work...as somebody who's been through too much stress this year I feel your pain.


    It might sound mad but I took to listening to ambient / calming sounds during the peak of my stress (via Amazon Alexa aka the dot but you can buy CDs) waves, garden, seagulls, garden, etc. A relaxing bubble bath with wave sounds helped me a lot at points.



    Alcohol can be relaxing while you're drinking it but the next day it makes me feel far from relaxed - in fact it seems to increase my anxiety as I get older....
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
