So I'm getting along pretty good with my family, went for a motorbike ride with my father today, been talking heaps to my mum and sister etc. I'm feeling confident from kicking all my nasty habits, and I'm not depressed at all. So anyway tonight we decide to play cards (500). My father and I win the first game. Then my father asks everyone if they want some Jack Daniels (my parents aren't drinkers, only on special occasions). My mum wanted some, my sister just wanted coke. My dad "accidentally" put a tiny bit of JD in hers... she doesn't have any problems with drinking though. I loled when she was like Daaad and he was like oh I put a little bit in then remembered you didn't want some... haha. When I was asked, I thought, why not? I'm only a problem drinker when I'm depressed. So I drank up (made a couple of mistakes in cards, reneged once but realised straight after and corrected it). So all in all had a great night. There's plenty of Jack left if I want some more, but I don't. Still a little bit tipsy.

But I'm craving bad for a joint. Good thing I don't any though!!! Also craving for a cigarette annnd I've got a nice full pouch of Champion Ruby in my drawer... what do you guys think I should do? I know most likely y'all gonna say no don't smoke it, but at least now you know what I'm thinking. I think I can manage not smoking, or rolling one and just taking a couple of puffs before putting it out, but I like the clean feeling of not smoking (who the hell invented smoking anyway?? it's the most unnatural thing ever, I swear...)

I know I could have just not posted this, but I would feel dishonest, and it could lead to me doing all sorts of crap and keeping it quiet. I need to get it out there you know.

As always, thanks for the support, and be honest with me as I am with you. Peace.
hey man...at least you got honest...isn't that the first step we all in recovery live by? and who here is perfect or has the right to judge? did someone judge you when you finally decided enough was enough? i don't mean to pee in everyone heres cheerios...or cause a major uproar...i just think people have forgotten what it feels like to f*** up...and if not on here...where is this person supposed to get real with his/her problems without people that are stuck on their high horses about how and when your moment of clarity comes. someone at some point has to say enough with the hipocrosy and live and let live and be supportive..which is why i came on here in the first place...ok so he messed up...darnit get up and try again and his story actually could possibly save someone from the same pain he went through...maybe even save a life!!! and that is a big deal!!!! i say hats off to you...and thank you for being brave enough to share this...ok i will stop now..sorry if i offended anyone...
