it's a girl thing: April 2010
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. A Day of Promise. I awoke at 9:30 AM this morning, ready to get up and greet the day. It was an especially beautiful morning, too. Full of birdsong, cool dry breezes, and huge yellow butterflies dancing among the trees and grass, putting on a private spectacle purely for my wonder and enjoyment. With a few simple words, the hope and joy in my spirit, the promise of the day were crushed. Did I suddenly fe...

it's a girl thing: Running To Nowhere
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2011/04/running-in-place.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. I'm tired. Slept until 3:30 PM. I know it's part depression, part exhaustion, too much running, not enough healing in between workouts, etc. When I awoke, I had a voice message from the HR person of the company I've now interviewed with twice for different positions. She said they had just posted another 30 hour position and I should apply for it right away. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel. Update: Di...

it's a girl thing: Heartsick
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2014/03/still-wide-awake-and-so-sad.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Still wide awake and so sad. It's 12:52 AM and I have to get up at 5:30AM. To get ready to go to a job that I'm beginning to hate. A job that saps my self-esteem and confidence. A job that makes me doubt myself, and makes me feel that I am worthless. I'm seriously thinking of calling in sick. After all, I'm sick at heart, sick in the bottom of my soul. So, it wouldn't really be a lie. The Edge of Sobriety.

it's a girl thing: November 2010
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Friday, November 19, 2010. I'm leading our 5:30 meeting this afternoon. As usual, I'm putting WAAAAY too much thought into this - how I'm going to do it, what I'm going to do and say, what I should wear, whether I should I wash my hair, or if it would be good to take in some "visuals," etc., etc. ad nauseum. Please pray that I will be STILL and LISTEN for the words my HP wants me to speak. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Baby, I'm...

it's a girl thing: Prayers (Please!)
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2014/03/prayers-please.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Everything pretty much the same here. Had a few good days after seeing the doctor and getting on new meds, but today, I'm back to where I was. Supposed to follow up with her tomorrow, and probably will, given that I'm barely holding back the tears at work. Either that, or I'm sarcastic and sniping at my coworkers. So much easier to be angry instead of sad, but that just hurts everyone around me. I will s...

it's a girl thing: February 2011
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. I'm Not Lovin' It. I am in a bog of quicksand, known as Resume Hell, and sinking fast. I have to find a job. My hubby is constantly stressed out because of all the debt we've amassed, and eventually, we want to buy a house. Plus, he's going to be traveling a lot with his job come spring. So, I need to start working again, both for financial reasons and to put some structure into my everyday life.

it's a girl thing: December 2010
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Friday, December 31, 2010. New Years Eve News. Hey, y'all. Haven't updated for a while, and just need to catch my breath a bit and say. Hello, I'm still here! Don't know why that's so important, except I guess having this blog that no one reads is at least a way to keep myself real and accountable in some way. I need a meeting desperately. I haven't been to one for at least 2 weeks now, and am starting to have really frighte...

http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Friday, March 11, 2011. Took a teller assessment test for a possible job with a bank yesterday and PASSED! Also had a call from HR about an hour ago, but we're playing phone tag right now so haven't actually spoken to her yet today. Did I mention I'm excited? So I'm just a LITTLE excited. The HR person just called me back! I'VE GOT AN INTERVIEW SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK! Please keep me in your prayers! Monday, March 07, 2011. So, I co...

it's a girl thing: Happy BirthdAAy To ME!
http://maniacallymenopausal.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-birthday-to-me.html
It's a girl thing. One alcoholic's chronicle of the journey called recovery. Sunday, April 10, 2011. Happy BirthdAAy To ME! My, my. how time flies! Today is my 4th Sober Birthday. Yep, I'm FOUR YEARS SOBER TODAY! It's been a quiet, good day. Hubby and I celebrated with Belgian waffles. Real maple syrup and butter, and Harney's White Peach Tea. Went to church this evening, so I missed the evening meeting and haven't had any cake. WOW what an inspiration! Congrats, I love the tea pot. Boots: Out of the Bag.
