| Well... a Majority of Day 5 has passed and I feel pretty good. I feel like I'm at a "different" danger level than so many... I don't drink 24/7... I don't "need" it, but certainly I have the craving, which, to me, translates more into a "desire" I think... than a true *craving*... I don't know?? I know that being here, facing the fact that there IS actually a problem and that i AM wanting to do something about it is a big step, for me anyhow... Don't get me wrong, I don't feel I'm special or any better or anything along those lines... In a way, I'm worried... maybe I've substituted one addition for another? --is that one of those normal worry things??? It's difficult for me to call my alcoholism an addiction - it just doesn't fit my "picture"... but substituting thinking about or planning when the next 'get away' will be for my party-- and now sitting here, clinging to these posts, trying to find some sense in it all.....?? My sister is a non-functioning alcoholic and addict... Her addictions have destroyed her life. I'm now raising her daughter, her son's dad took him some four years ago... She cannot function on a daily basis that lasts more than a day or two - unless she's in rehab or jail, which she is often -- She has lost everything, her family, her self-respect, ... I have a tough time putting myself into that category. Again, don't think I'm saying I'm any better than her... Until recently I believed that, in a dark corner of my mind, because I *fake it* MUCH better than she... But now I'm admitting my powerless ness... my life's unmanagability... my utter LACK of ABILITY to drink for any significant length of time and NOT get drunk... and I despise it... in a way, almost despise her for being 'right'... and at the same time, I have a newfound compassion and respect for her... It's all so confusing and difficult to sort into words. Anyhow, day 5... getting ready for Meeting 3. I know I'm ok because I've never gotten 3 days past the hangover without blowing off the "i have a problem" idea... so, somehow that's progress, right? Anyhow... thanks for listening to my babbling... off to shower... |

| Day two almost over - how many ups and downs can you have in one day for gods sake? Feels like a combination of the flu and pms... I was so psyched up this morning I was thinking I might quit smoking at the same time, to crying in the afternoon, to dragging around the house wrapped in a blanket like an extra from night of the living dead. Tried to do sudoku for awhile to pass some time - LOL - I would not recomend it at this stage. Now my brain hurts... |

| Krissy and Dean, Welcome to SR. We are glad you are here.  Day 8 for me... Had a pretty decent day. I am finally managing to accomplish some things each day without being "nagged"... (My wife is good at that you know) I either do the "honey do list" or  Finally starting to feel almost human... 6 more days and I graduate to the new thread. I am excited! WOO HOO! McRibb: I'm pretty sure that you have never offended me. A little humor is good for the soul and for recovery. (Or at least I think so).  Take care. |

I am not going to dance around what i did or what i am thinking about but whatever I guess some people are really need help hard core so i will just talk about puppy dogs and ice cream |

| Mr. Patch -- that's FABulous! the "other" thread is great... i check in there, too... Omega mistakenly didn't "exclude" us, so it's fair... |
