Hello everyone,
My apologies for being absent for so long.
Yesterday was my 10 month mark. Feeling quite good and healthy. Lost about 10 pounds the last couple of months. Had a great summer with the kids, grandkids and friends.
Lots of time spent at our rec property.
10 months into my recovery and I think about drinking every single day. Some days I wake up thinking about going for a beer after work.
We are leaving for Europe on Friday with my cousin and his wife for two weeks in Amsterdam, Bruges and Paris. My cousin and I were great drinking pals when ever we got together in Vegas or S Cali. over the years. He still is a heavy drinker.
I am concerned about this trip. Not concerned about slipping but concerned about how I feel about not being able to have some wine with the other three while sitting on a patio in Paris watching the people go by. Damn I have pissed my self off. How did I let it get to this point. I want to be a social drinker so badly. Woa is me! Poor me!!
I am mad but I will not fail. I promise you that.
I will check in with you all when I get back Oct 4.
Gilmer, congrats on your 10 months coming up in a couple of days. Good for you brother.
Enjoy your weekend folks
Rick
