    Well I am going through a realisation that unless I get my act together I am on the road to self destruction. Of late after the break down of my relationship and dealing with infertility I have found myself abusing alcohol (binge drinking) and only this weekend in the wrong company I participated in drug taking 🙁 I am absolutely disgusted in myself and I was unable to go to work on Monday. Returning to work today I am feeling totally lost.
    All my friends are with families and children and I guess outside of my current job, which to add I am not very happy in, I do not know what to do with myself and I suffer anxiety and low mood. I have suffered anxiety, depression etc for many years. I find it hard to look to my future as I dont know If I will ever be a mother or have family of my own. I guess I feel scared.

    I know one thing though from this day forward I need to make big changes to my life. I need to focus on where I want my career to go and find something in my life other than socialising and drinking.

    Any advice of direction would be great right now.

    There’s a saying, “As the fruit grows the blossom falls off the tree.” Meaning, you don’t have to suddenly end or stop everything, you simply slowly replace them with something else. And gradually the negative influences will disappear.

    Can you go to AA? Get a part time or “hobby” job? Run a children’s program? Meet people at Meet Up’s? Go to a meditation workshop/retreat?

    Sometimes a lot of seemingly little things (or one little thing in particular) can “break the circuit” and get you back on a good track.

    Blessings, and Good Luck!

    I know it is a hard road ahead and I need to give myself time to focus on my Mental and Physical health. I have soo much to give and I get so disappointed that I do not let myself shine and share the gifts that I have.
    I do suffer anxiety and without alcohol over the years I have found it hard to socialise ie joining new groups etc
    Its like sometimes I hide the real me and cover it over with this mega outgoing happy person on the booze that really inside I am not. I guess I am thankful that I can stand back and say “enough is enough” but I have said that before and then on the roundabout again!!

    Thanks for your message Inky. Hope all is well with you 🙂
