I'm feeling private these days, and little exposed. I don't really feel like sharing all about my life right now. I will again, once I'm over my funk.
I am learning to rely on my God, more so than ever. I am changing and growing which is uncomfortable and amazing all at the same time. I am grateful to be able to feel it, to be able to feel at all really.
Hope everyone is having a good night! I am still going to post everyday, they may just be short:)
Don't go away right now PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteEmily, Please let us help. Please ask your BBFs to substitute-blog (e.g., Annette, Randy, mommaof 3, Ladybug, Little Peanut...). Give yourself a break, but please don't leave the folks who are reading you every day (maybe MANY times a day) without a life-line. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta run for now, but please know there is nothing wrong with asking for help. That's what this site is all about...

THANKS MONTANA. I NEED THIS SUPPORT. THERE IS NOTING IN MY VERY SMALL COMMUNTY I CAN RELY ON TO BE WHAT I AM, A LUSH, AN ALCOHOLIC.
ReplyDeleteMONTANA, THANKS FOR RESPONDING. I THINK THIS LIFE LINE WILL HELP ME, GOD WILLNG.
ReplyDeleteI hope things get better for you Emily. It's understandable to want privacy when you have personal issues to attend to. I know you will take the time you need to resolve this for yourself. Meanwhile please know that I will be thinking of you with humble appreciation for what you have done for all of us. My husband DID drink wine tonight. I was tempted but then just smiled and continued my sobriety thanks to you and this site.

I have been reading for a little while but not commenting-so I don't know how much time you ahve but I know that you will be able to get through whatever you have to work through without drinking; thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteYou mAy not want to know how I feel as I have only recently been reading and have never commented. I saw you on Dr Phil and then put it out of my mind for awhile. I only remembered the name of your website because my daughter is an Emily but a couple days ago I started reading your blogs everyday and have been inspired by them. I have never commented and still have not found myself ready to completely become sober because I don't think I can but you have given me hope. I am a mother of 4 and want more than anything to do it for not only them but for me. I don't consider myself an alcoholic because I don't drink from sun up to sun down but come on who am I kidding? I have cut down considerably since reading your posts and pray every day that I can someday become as strong as you and just stop. But i'm sorry your post tonight kind of upset me. You started this blog and you know what? I don't think you need to completely expose yourself but at the same time there are a lot of people who have become dependent on what you share and I think you will be letting a lot of people down if you can't continue? I'm sorry if that sounds really selfish but maybe that's because I'm still not there yet. I still wish you the best and God bless you but please don't stop posting now. there are still a lot of us out there that still need you!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is up with The Doctors today?! I was determined to stay sober and then they have a hangover discussion?! I love Jill, but come on. That's exactly what I need right now... And I was so hoping to get some useful pointers as to how to improve my health (or at least get some of it back). Won't let them break me though, as that would be the Devil's work, and I want nothing to do with him.

You know I'm here if ya need me to fill in Em! And you would have to read & approve any thing I wanted to post, of course. I'd be happy to help if ya need me! Sayin a special prayer for ya tonite!
ReplyDeleteBy the way - attended my 1st concert tonite sober.....HAD A BLAST! Roger Daltry (from the WHO) and Eric Clapton. I CAN do my normal things sober after all!!!......AND STILL HAVE FUN!
Emily, I finally figured out how to post. I have been reading your blog since Oprah. Thanks for doing this for all of us. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteEmily take care of yourself, you must behaving a lot going on. I know since a lot of us saw you on Dr. phil we have been all over your blog. Thank you for all you do!! You have helped everyone!! I know I have been busy and it's hard to stay focused on things for myself, so I could only image what it would be like to have to also care for your kids, take care of yourself and feel that you have to write all the time.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great day
Be well, I'm still trying hard!! Thank you!
Hi Emily. I know it must feel heavy to have so many rely on you. I know I'm grateful to have a very special Higher Power to shift it on to. Take care of you. Even if you just shared a word from a daily reader when you need space it would be uplifing to many. I like the idea too of a guest blogger from one of your trusted friends :)
ReplyDeleteI went to a meeting today where we discussed anonymity. You are very brave to give yours up. You are appreciated. You are loved. Hang in there.
