sad

[Célinefull]

Talk..talk to whoever you can (me, if you like) and start a blog, that is what I do when I am depressed, I just talk and talk until it starts to feel better.

[mazceline]

Yes talking is good if you can open full up, and not be embarrassed about what you say, guess you have to full trust in them too, then talking is defo the best medicine.

Hi Maz ... I know it's been awhile since anyone posted on this topic ... just found it and read it ... how blessed you are to have your son... when you feel overwhelmed ... please ... look at your beautiful little boy ... get down on your knees and thank God for giving you the gift of a child.

[mazceline]

I do every day, every time i need that drink or feel like there is no point i just look at him, usually when he is asleep and thank good for my little angel,

[celinedionsfan]

I'm so glad ... as you know ... I am dealing with an incredible loss ... at times it is difficult to do much more than just get through the minutes and hours of each day and night.

[mazceline]

i kinda understand what you mean, just dont start to drink or get too low, its a hard ride back up

CONGRATULATIONS on 3 months of sobriety, Maz!

One moment at a time ... one step ... one breath ...

I was diagnosed as depressive when I was 13, I've been an alcoholic since I was 15. I don't drink anymore but I will always be an alcoholic. I had several things all come at once and turned to alcohol to try and block it out. Later I moved onto drugs and ended up in huge debt which I couldn't afford to pay off. I turned to my oldest friend who lent me the money to get out of debt and helped me out with a place to stay. I am forever thankful that I had him there for me. I have paid him every penny I owed him and even helped him out when he needed it. He's the only person I've really ever been able to rely on.

 

Even today I still get down, I still want to drink.... I had to visit a client today who runs a pub and we sat at the bar while we worked out a few things.... It was so hard for me to walk away after we had finished without a drink. I have lapsed, but thankfully not often.

 

Depression sucks big time, especially when people claim it's not a disease but a state of mind when science has proven that it is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and sufferers brains work differently than those who don't.... stupid depression.....

[mazceline]

Well for the first time i agree with everything you said, I feel this time im alot stronger to actually keep it up, so i hope this is it, its a shame that i have made so i will never ever be able to drink again, like when out with friends, but it is not worth the risk is it

[mazceline]

the other night we had a wild west night at work , and the drinks were on the house, god how do you get past the temptation, i stuck to diet coke, but i found my self inside my head saying, "go on just have one you must be past it now" i felt like i was trying to convince myself it was ok. I didnt drink though i guess deep down i know it would not have been Just one, it would have lasted days if not weeks, dont get me wrong i never get drunk, i have my boy to look after, but what i can drink and stay sober with, would knock most people out, i feel fitter now so im gonna try if not for myself for steven.

Congratulations, Maz!

[mazceline]

not there yet, just waiting for something in life to go wrong then see if i can keep off it then

[1Celine12]

Maz, as you will see with my siggy I want you to stay in the light, don't go into the darkness. Keep up the good work. As I have read, I think you have been sober for 3 months? Correct me if I am wrong.

I believe in all of you here that has ever had depression. Keep the faith alive people.

[VanMerlin]

Each time you fight your demons and win, your soul and will get stronger.

[1Celine12]

I hate to dredge this up, but this next thing has something to do with what VanMerlin said.: I fought my demons as I was breaking up with my ex-friend Michael. It has been 1 month since I have been away from the phone and away from Michael's voice. Praise GOD the almighty.

[mazceline]

Maz, just remember one thing...there is no such thing as a step backward, and no such thing as failure. Each time we waver and disappoint ourselves, we learn. When we learn from each mistake, we grow. Growth is a step forward. Take this small lapse in your willpower and learn from it...learn about how you talked yourself into it and how you can stop yourself next time. You've been successful before, you'll do it again, this time for longer. You are not a waste of space because you make a mistake. That's why we're all here. That's why these spaces are made!!

 

You're a GOOD and STRONG person, Maz.

 

 

And Dana, praise yourself. You did all the bloody work, boy!

[mazceline]

thanks, i just can not believe i did it, i was doing the best ive ever done, but your right i will learn from it, i have to if i want to live long enough to see steven grow

[celinedionsfan]

Maz ... every moment that we are alive ... we have the chance to start over ... to change our paths ... your New day Has Come ...

[mazceline]

Yes but i have trouble with my health due to it, when will i learn, how are you, you seem a little better or are my trivial problems taking your mind off things

[celinedionsfan]

You are learning, Maz ... you're not drinking right now, are you?

[mazceline]

no im too scared too, i think

[celinedionsfan]

whatever the reason ... you are not drinking at this moment ... and really, Marie, this moment ... this breath is what matters ... forget about one day or one hour or even one minute at a time ... just focus on one second at a time ... one breath at a time ... and know that you are loved ... that you are a gift in this world ...

[mazceline]
