Today is one of those days when I want to slam my head into a cement floor
or crack open a bottle of bourbon and down the entire thing in one take.

Fuck fuck fuck.....

4. Good for you
:hug:

Okay, then, copious amounts of chocolate? A long drive to nowhere? A bubblebath? A phone call to your best friend?

12. wow.
That's amazing, gray Warrior, just amazing. Congrats. I will have five years again if I make it to the 17th of this month. I had 9 years and 8 months 5 years ago and pissed it all away over a bad night on a couple of pills. Trust me, you do NOT want to make that mistake. Plus there's that thing of waking up that little monkey, lol. I did that and bought myself about 30 days of pure white-knuckling hell. I don't know if I'd even be able to come back again, it was murder to fight through.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time. If there is anything I can do let me know. :hug:

29. Know that saying "this too shall pass?" Well, it happened.
I'm feeling better after taking some action today. And congratulations on your 5 years. First 5 is the hardest. Get to 20 and you realize it's just a day at a time...that's it.

2. what's up?
will a :hug: help? I really can't encourage a bottle of bourbon. Unless you decide to make bourbon balls to share with everyone. Hope it gets better real soon.

5. Just feeling lots of anger over everything. I'm spoiled.
Broke my caller id phone cleaning. Now I can't answer the phone.

8. Get out a good book...
read all day while drinking tea and eating yourself into a stupor. Put in a movie you've seen a dozen times just for the background noise. Refuse to answer the phone or the door.

That's one of the reasons I'm pissed.

11. Can you just swim or go ride a bike instead?
Edited on Sun Nov-12-06 02:57 PM by KC2
That would probably be less harmful on your head or body.

Please hang in there. I have the same problem with food. After a bad day, there's nothing easier than reaching for that pint of ice cream. And, there is never a time when I don't regret it after diving into ice cream for comfort.

Hang in there!! Be tough...I know you are ;-) !!

Oh, by the way, I never made it to Florida this weekend :-(
There were step-monster issues I won't get into.
So, you'll have to "say hello" to the beach for me, ok?

15. Thanks, dude.
I just washed all the floors in my house and unhooked the kitchen sink where I found 5 staws stuck in it. Jesus, whoever lived here before was a fucking idiot.

18. I just figured out why I'm pissed off....
I'm supposed to be seeing Dylan in Boston for my birthday and instead, I'm here in a shitassed, red state where it is too hot and humid and there is nothing to do cept go watch the waves flap flap flap against the sand.

I'd go with you if we lived closer to each other.

But you know what? You just hit the proverbial nail on the fucking head. That's exactly what I need.

34. Well, technically it would be a concrete floor
It's only cement when it's dry powder - once you mix it with water and it hardens, it's concrete. Helpful, aren't I? :evilgrin:
