...of tea! Strong black tea. I do not drink alcohol anymore.
It's not a good medicine for me. Anyways...poor me. What a mess I got into. My bipolar disposition is greatly responsible for getting me into this predicament...that and my PTSD. But mostly it is my HUMAN (head up my *** naughtiness) that gets me into trouble. That being said, I will not blame anybody else, but God. Yes it"s always God's fault I get into conundrums, perplexities, dilemmas, complications, cans of worms, hot water and eft up situations. God is responsible for getting me into this mess, but I am responsible for getting out of it. What a crazy Universe

I'm a black tea drinker as well.
 (I used to favor first flush Darjeelings. But prices for these have gone through the proverbial roof. So now I'm drinking teas from Sri Lanka & Nepal.) I also no longer drink alcoholic beverages.  I have mostly just withdrawn from the world at this point. But prior to that I always seemed to end up in one mess after another... sadly much of it created by myself, I'm afraid.  As the line from the Jimmy Buffet song "Margaretville" says: "Some people say that there's a woman to blame. But I know... it's my own damn fault."

What seems to work for me is if I blame myself (because it usually is my fault) and ask God to help me get out of it. YMMV

I believe there is a God but I think we all have to kick claw and fight our way out of a mess and make amends.
Least thats how I deal with my life when its messier. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

It's like this... There are more things out of my control than things I have control over. I have limited knowledge and a limited perspective. Therefore, When I get into situations I am practically blind. To clear up the mess that causes others and myself suffering, I am forced to gain the sight and strength to make things right. I understand what you mean though and I thank you for your kindness and support. I am feeling alone now and you and other people who reply make me feel less lonely. |

I agree...I certainly need God's help to get better and make things right, but it takes a lot of hard work on my part. Thanks for your support

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
