Hi all,
I'm new here. Just saw this thread and it strikes sooo many chords...
I'm the kind of drinker who can string together some time between drinking. I call what I do "the cycle" and it's basically a week, it goes like this:
No drinking during the week! - of course the week is Monday - Wednesday... this was usually not too difficult seeing as I am running on the steam of depression and self loathing at the previous weekend's drinking, plus being hungover at least through monday.
By Wednesday afternoon I am starting to feel pretty good - productive, can think, more confident.. so good in fact that I am ready to "relax" a bit and reward myself.
Then Thurs - Sunday is drinking, always a bit more than anyone else knows I'm having, and always until I go to sleep.
Then over again...
