Sharons Victory's Journal, 20 May 19

Sorry to hear you are feeling down. Concentrate on health. Maybe you'll find someone who is also interested in health, and avoiding drinking. 

Finding a partner that shares your ambitions is important. If you’re not drinking, I’d advise against dating people who do. It’s a slippery slope, believe me... 

Breath Sharon breath and take one step at a time 

You got this 

Hugs Sharon. Hope you feel better soon. I am not an expert or anything but I think maybe try working with your councilor and concentrate on good things about yourself. It is way too easy to dwell on negatives. We all have both.  

Given what you posted on a prior post, I wonder if you've ever had a counselor who has fully helped you to address your traumatic youth. It seems like maybe you hate yourself and don't feel good enough because people made you feel that way by abusing you when you were growing up, no matter how hard sweet Sharon tried to be a lovable good girl. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. You are smart, motivated, hard working, compassionate, insightful, and capable of many things. One night/weekend of bad decisions is one night/weekend of bad decisions. Every day is a new day. You are amazing. Maybe you could find some volunteer activities that would interest you, where you could meet people who could be new kinds of friends who share interests in positive activities not bad decision activities. {{hugs}} 

I pray things get better for you. Don’t give up. 

Sharon, you're intelligent enough to figure this out. Keep moving forward. Do something else when dealing with disappointment that doesn't involve putting yourself down or sabotaging your accomplishments. There are many here that know you can do this and we all can't be wrong. ❤ 

Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help for my friend, Sharon. She is in crisis and needs a supporting hand to keep her on the right and just path. Her heart is troubled but she will strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show her the right way to a just and right resolution.  Thank you for hearing her prayer and for staying by her side. Amen! 

{{Hug}} Sorry to hear this. However, all we have is right now. Right now we are both **Blessed** :)  

Had a couple of drinks a few months ago, and great hunger followed. Hated it. Felt like a wreck. Not worth the deep dive. Went back on track with fresh determination, and the wellness came back fairly quick. 

Sharon— go back and read and reread your bio. That girl is still IN THERE and needs you to help her. She can’t do it alone.  

what kpw said is spot on! you are in my thoughts. Call your counselor for an emergency session. Don't suffer. Call 

Praying for you! 🙏💞 

Oh sweetie, I am sorry you went down that path...private message me if you need anything. I care. 

Putting the booze away will help, and you're right, it just make thing worse.  

Stay strong you can do this!  

I’m sorry that happened. There is hope! You recognized where you went wrong and know what change the next time. You know that disappointment in dating is a trigger for drinking, maybe try to figure a way to rethink your reaction to the disappointment. I drank too this weekend, first time in months. :( message me anytime!  

We’re here❤️. You got this💪❤️ 

We have all done this and felt like this. Doesn’t make your situation better, I know. Have a good cry after a binge and pick yourself up again. All we can do is keep pushing forward and hope God has that person who can come alongside us even when we can’t stand to be who we are. 💐
