Reflections on alcoholic thinking on day 10 of sobriety;
A few weeks ago I had a blood test coming up - my MCVs and triglycerides were high on the last test - typical - my doctor got me to admit I had a drinking problem and I knew I had to do something. My plan was to cut back, not stop drinking. I refrained from drinking at lunch (except Fridays and weekends of course). I waited until I got home before popping that Coors tallboy, instead of in the car. (What will power!). That got me down to about 6 drinks a day instead of 8 or 10. Well, it didn't work. I have an appointment with a cardiologist next week. I'm pretty confident I can stay sober until then but I worry about afterwards. he could say I'm fine (off to the bar to celebrate!) or he could say I'm doomed (drink up, the end is near!). That will be the next big test - in the meanwhile I'll keep going to the gym every day and enjoy feeling good for a change. Wish me luck and thanks for being there, I'm sure I'll be leaning on you all a bit more in coming weeks.
