Also, the klonopin really helps me be able to go to a grocery store and not flip the gently caress out and become hyper vigilant or break down crying in an isle from social overload.

Or my psych can prescribe Jameson. That's a good idea.

If you screwed up you should try being accountable for once and start counting from zero again

No.

"being accountable for once"? Yes, I've never been accountable for anything ever. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. loving rude. I also hold myself accountable for everything. Too much. Even for other people which is just insane. Moving on.

I'm actually tired now and it's only 12:30am. I'm going to sleep now and hope that I don't wake up again.

Good night Neverland.

Hope you sleep well. I think it's a perfectly good idea to give yourself credit for the success you've had and not obsess over a slip. Dichotomous all-or-nothing thinking is a cognitive error, in any case. You're doing well, Pennywise.

This actually makes sense. All I do is beat myself up over the smallest things. Like, completely inconsequential things or things that haven't even happened yet. The black and white thinking is very dangerous. Also, I've had nothing but the most horrible and vivid nightmares the past month or so. Like, really bad. I don't think that's alcohol related though. :shrug:

poo poo. I can't argue that. How about we make it the DAD SOBER, SO WHAT thread?!

Seriously though, I really got to shut up and let this thread die. It's really not helping anyone else but me and that doesn't necessitate an entire GBS thread about a broke brained piece of poo poo.

If you're not even willing to be honest about how long you've been sober you're really not interested in cleaning up. Besides didn't you only made it like half a week or something? Who cares.
