Mmmmmm don’t mean to be a buzz kill but husband just told me to stop talking about cancer because it’s new year…… odd how someone so supportive can completely fail to get how you can’t pick and choose when you think about cancer. Gosh…… it’s a very lonely moment realising that even the people who love you need a break from it. And you can never have a break from it!!
and if one more bloody person tells me I need a drink!!!!
Desperately trying to be alcohol free and would quite like to feel supported not like a weirdo leper…… especially when I’m apparently not allowed to talk about cancer which is after all the reason I’ve chosen not to drink….. am o just meant to make some spurious reason I’m t total just to make everyone feel more comfortable and we can all just forget it ever happened. Trust me I’d rather be this time last year quoffing champagne without a worry in the world!
sorry for the rant - hope no one’s looking here tonight! But if so - if you feel a bit emotional and a bit alone in your thoughts …… you aren’t!!
I hear you, it's so tough when this is dominating your world but others don't have the empathy. I hope you got through NYE ok. I find that if I “label” my decision not to drink, people are more accepting, so doing Sober October, Dry January or even just “I don't drink on weekdays” seems to really help in that people back off. Best wishes
