I often obsessively pursue feeling good, no matter how bad it makes me feel.
When I was a newcomer, I didn't think I had any obsessions until I started thinking about it. Then it was all I could think about.
The good news is you get your emotions back; the bad news is you get your emotions back.
Women (or men) in Al-Anon can find men (or women) that the police can't find!
I never got that bad,at least i did not fall out of a car.Passedout in some bushes yes.
ReplyDeleteDear Syd - - - When I first saw the photo on this latest post, I thought, OMG, Syd has been in an accident. Then, I looked again --- this picture is that of a woman! Can't imagine what her problem is, other than it appears she may have been getting out of her car in a bit of an inebriated state- slipped and fell on her face (thank heaven). Hope she's okay now.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was not you.

I hope the photographer would have taken her car keys before she tried to drive off. I hope she doesn't think this represents the achievement of a goal. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteOH MY Mike's comment was almost as funny as the "heard in a meeting" list today!
ReplyDeleteI love the we can find people the police can't ... that is SOOOO true....
pursue it to the gates of insanity and death I will... both the alcohol and the people...

Thanks for the funny (and gut-wrenchingly true) lists today!
Thank God I have a sense of humor about these things!
No matter how painful it sometimes is, I am forever grateful that today I have feelings, I am in touch with them, I can feel them and react to them. I no longer stuff them where the sun don't shine which made me sick, sick, sick.
ReplyDeleteSo for me getting my emotions back is always a good thing.

ReplyDeleteSyd, that's about the funniest line I've read this week. Obsess over my obsessions. Priceless!
I can't stop staring at that picture.
ReplyDeleteVery clever Syd! Did you snap this one? Have to go back and look to see if this is a topless woman...you really hang out in the FUN places!
ReplyDeleteNow I see...that's her top around her waist. very sad.

ReplyDeleteI am obsessed now with crown green bowling occupying my every waking thought but at last I have won my first match this season
ah yes, those pesky emotions. Can't live with them, can't live without them.
ReplyDeleteA picture says a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Thankfully, the one time I remember being so drunk I couldn't properly enter my vehicle was a time when I was surrounded by caring friends who removed the car keys from my car and hid them from me until I sobered up. there, but for the grace of G-d, go I...
ReplyDelete*Blink* I have a similar picture of my daughter that came off her MySpace page. Thankfully in her case it was just a phase. Those were some scary times. (Hugs)Indigo

ReplyDeleteAlso Bill Collectors & Process Servers....
Yes ... the emotions. It took me years after coming off heroin to be able to cope with them. Still sometimes think ... omg what's that now!!! And I am a sucker for pursuit of feeling good as well, so I know what you mean about feeling bad when trying to feel good. Lots of Love Fishy x
ReplyDeleteLove the last one. That is so very true and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. I bet she didn't feel so hot the next morning.
