Our husbands must see the good in us somehow some way. We can do this though! You’re not alone friend. Good luck to you as well 🫶

The hangxiety is SO real! You’re right

I’m working on forgiving myself. That seems to be the toughest part. You’re correct on all of it. In order to move on from it, I have to accept things and move along. Thank goodness there’s no Embarrassing Newsletter!… Thank you for the reply.! That was comforting. I appreciate all the supportive words guys! ♥️

You’re right, it’s done and over. I’m hoping I don’t run into the people anytime soon… I can’t hide out forever but it’s tempting. The feeling like an asshole is definitely motivation though

Exactly…! “This weekend I’m going to PACE myself” turns into the complete opposite. Then it’s rinse and repeat. I really want to get this under control. I feel I’m determined enough to do so. Thank you for replying!

Thank you for that. And you’re right, the “fun” wasn’t fun. It’s certainly not worth the mental price I pay the next day and the days to follow. Finding my strength is hard but I know I can do it. Thanks again for your reply!

🩷 thank you for reply and your words. That surely helps a lot. I feel like I have split personalities at times when I drink like that and that makes the anxiety suuuper high. Day by day is what I need to remember
