i would almost like to scream in frustration right now, but that takes more energy than I have available. I'm so tired and discouraged. I didn't go to my recovery group last night because i was tired and didn't feel all that great and now my husband is mad at me but won't acknowledge why.... argh.... I called him after i got to work and gave him a hard time about the fact that i got here safely in spite of a foggy am and that i knew he wouldn't really care. It was an immature slap back to make myself feel better. I don't feel any better. I know i should go to recovery group, but it takes too much effort. Why is it necessary to dredge up all of my past hurts and pain? i don't know what i think anymore.

Sorry Guiltier. I've been pushing myself to go to DBSA support groups, I'm having a hard time too but mine isn't because of content I'm simply too tired to drive in the evenings. I do benefit from them so that drives me to try to go when I can. If you think the groups are helping or are helping if you give them a chance then focus on that to try to motivate yourself to go.I think I said earlier that only you can decide if these are beneficial or not looking past the bad feelings they are dredging up... Is facing these going to help you move forward and be better or are they just digging up old hurt. If the former try to see the potential for outcome and push yourself to go. If the latter try to find something alternatively constructive to do?

Dexter,
I guess that is the decision I alone can make. Is all of this stirring just arousing old feelings of shame, guilt, anger, and depression? or were all of those feeling there all along and dealing with them in the group setting may actually be constructive? I understand the feelings of tiredness that keep you home at night. I get home from work at about 4pm and I'm done for the day. I am just wiped out. I hate feeling that way, especially since things have been pretty slow lately in the clinic at work. How do we keep up the energy so we can actually be productive after 6pm? I wish I had an answer to all of my questions, unfortunately I have more questions than answers today. I hope your world is a little brighter today.
