Read up on the PAWS thing, hon.

I remember one day, coming into the Alano club before a meeting ...
and climbing up onto a stool (ours is pretty much set up just like a bar)
only to go flying off the other side.
Like bad cowboy bar theatre or something.

I was walking unsteady, had trouble maneuvering a coffee cup -
it was just like being drunk. Then CarolD sent me the link you've gotten from Dee ... and suddenly - the whole thing got FUNNY to me.

Took me more than a couple of tries to get perched on the chair as I recall.

The GOOD news is - it clears up.
The GOOD news - is you're right on schedule.
The GOOD news is - you never have to go through this again.

My personal opinion is - when we drink for years and years - the liver and other various and sundry skwishy internal organs clean out at different times. Stored up toxins .. .take time to get out of the system.

So occasionally - we have these 'Jerry Lewis' days ... I mean, back when he was actually funny.

But it DOES go away.

Hope that helps.
