    Yeah  imagine  the state of my pants. With 5 stages of breathing. The last one was fire!!! Now fire breathing is an art but through your pelvis.  Wow.

    Rob being thinking of you and glad things are going well. Same with TA.

    After a horrible week with the change in meds , my doctor just put me back on my old script and it has been good since then.

    Also I love seeing that someone dragged out to the gym , it is so helpful with your mental wellbeing , even if the day you go you feel like shit or don't think it helped. The next morning when you wake up you can always feel it in your brain that you accomplished something the prior day.

    For the past two weeks, I've had this thought running through my stressed out brain: All I want is to lie still on the floor. I'm carrying so much tension in my shoulders and hips and toes and every body part in between. So tonight I just did it. I got out of my rut and stopped. For a full hour, I put my yoga mat down -- first time in about six months -- and I just lied there. I moved some, stretched a few things, but mostly just paid attention to my body connected to the ground. I feel so much more relaxed.

    True. Ive always had  a vice so find it very very hard to invent myself.  I have healthy things i try. So i will do that.  Im unravelling fast though its how to stop the inevitable. 
    I really took what -what dreams-said on board the other day about not ruining people around me with my constant down talk and obsessions  with symptoms.  It really does kill love. And it will ruin all relationships  and one may not notice until its too late. But from that day im holding it in. Its bursting but i do not want to lose anymore people. I look back and can see who felt that  way and could not take anymore of me.
    So thank you WD for the insight  and HFD i believe you said a similar  thing. 
    Knowing and trying  is important  to me
    It sounds like the doctor was trying to do guided imagery with you. I've run through audio versions of that kind of thing:  breathe in light, breathe out darkness, etc. I've never heard anything like what you describe though. That is straight out of central casting.
    Glad you're working on some other outlets. To be fair to you, the constant down talk is not good for you, either, not just the people you love. I'm sure you're noticing a lot of different things now that you're not drinking/smoking the way you were. I can tell you that I used to be a chronic pot smoker who at one time added the alcohol on top, for about a decade. I was forced through life circumstance, not by choice, to stop smoking pot, as I moved to a new town and didn't have a dealer anymore (not for long, anyway)  :-). However, it turned out to be a great thing because I didn't understand how much the pot was masking my unhappiness until I took that break. Don't feel like a failure or a fake if you quit the group. It's not for everybody. Keep trying to figure out what works for you. It's a never ending process with this illness. Every time life hits us with a new challenge, we have to adjust our coping mechanisms.

    I smoked pot age 16-18 then never again for 21 years.
    Started  again 9 months or so ago. Stopped a month ago.
    Started again 3 days ago. 
    Its not good but better than alcohol at the moment  nothing is not going to happen. 
    Yeah the guided breathing  i have tried . Its nice enough. And the mindfulness body scan
     Can ground a person sometimes. 
    Keep trying  thats  all i will do until i crash again which is a daily affair.
    Whatever underlaying  thing  im dealing with i cannot fix with any amount of talking or breathing  so i make an hourly choice as to what i do.
    Far from a good place . I am going down  another bad path but i by now can't  change it.

    That group i attend is odd as fuck. Nobody is sober even for one day. Im the only one and they are all just hiding and making excuses. 
    I cant really deal with it. Yesterday the guy who said i was an inspiration  because i get up . (As i am now) with my 2 year old at 4 a.m . Was crying  to me about me playing with my daughter. Although  he is obvs in pain it just annoyed me a bit. 
    If i am an inspiration  what does he mean. He drinks litres of cider every day and is never sober  . Nothing has changed. 
    I see my kids  as my life and my job to educate  and nurture them. Is that not normal?

    That is normal, but some people in the throes of addiction can't provide basic care to their children. I've seen that with my sister and one of my brothers. It is rather heartwrenching to see kids emancipate or take custody of a sibling because of such parental failure. 

    Good on you for taking the 4 AM shift. It gives you a time when everything is still and quiet and just you two. A special time to bond. 

    So, yes, an inspiration to that gentleman because you aren't ignoring parenting or just phoning it in, but participating when many don't or can't.
