i'm tired...i'm tired of being the whipping boy...feel like i really aient got no one to talk with...other people laying their problems on y head....feel alone...a bit tortured and tired
tv don't work and generally i feel a bit disconnected
went to a grea meeting tonight..but like the drugs i used to do its all just temporary..now what
work tommorow and my girlfriend gets back tommorow..more drama to unsue?..i certainly hope not but once agin she sounds dicontent..like me..needy...somewhat like me and over l she sounds beaten..like i feel right now
just another sly night..again...waiting for something good to come but realizing i'm the one thats got to go out and make something happen...can't sit on my laurels..more will be revealed???..i hope so
just a bit tired..discontnet..lonely and emotional overwhelmed...hopefully tommorow will be better
Unlike drugs, this doesn't have to be a temporary fix. It can be a new way of life if you choose. Work the steps, make some calls to people at the meetings, go early, leave late. You life will get better.
I used to feel this way. Now I don't have enough time to do everything I need to. The thing that helped me most was to start taking classes at the community college. I had something to fill up all that free time. I also took a second job and made some friends. I always have something going on. Selling stuff on ebay, listing it, shipping it, etc. I go out and sing karaoke, go dancing, go to community festivals with the kids. I am very seriously thinking about taking a ballroom dancing class next month even tho I have no partner. Hopefully I'll find one there. Just keep BUSY! There are plenty of things to do, get out and go for a walk/run/bike ride, go to the gym, go see a movie, take a second job, draw, read, etc. etc. there is an unlimited amount of things to do - make a list of things you have always wanted to do and start crossing them off!!!
This is an al anon board. It is not an AA board. if you are newly sober, you need to be calling the people who gave you phone numbers at the AA meetings, and getting involved with AA. You need to get a sponsor, and work the steps. Your poor-me's will get you back into a bar and asking the bartender to "pour me" a drink. You need to take the action that's been suggested to you by other members of AA and stop playing games.
Ive found since I've been working a program I don't have time to be bored or lonely. Sorting through my issues rather than looking for something magic to happen to make me feel better is very interesting stuff.
