Do you feel the need to tell anyone you are a recovering alcoholic ever?

Oh and I know that this is COMPLETELY off topic but I'm sitting here watching Survivorman and for some reason I got to thinking to myself and thought " self, that Professor on Giligans Island was kinda like the original Survivorman. Only problem is he was smart enough to take two coconuts and a piece of straw and make a Nuclear Reactor but he couldn't fix a 2 foot hole in a boat." Funny how my sober mind thinks.

I'm glad you liked the documentary trailer. I'm hoping to see it as soon as it releases.

Where did they get the rum? Probably the professor figured that one out too! You'd think with all those transistors that they'd think to make beds out of palm leaves or something instead of those silly hammocks. Now you got me thinking about everything they did on Gilligans Island. Gonna google it now. lol
Sorry!

And don't forget that everybody who landed on that Island after The Minnow Seven got off of it in under a week. They should have made a dark spinoff series after they got off the Island. It could have centered around Gilligans inability to adapt back to Civilization and as he slipped slowly into the abyss of insanity he started hunting down everyone who ever got off ofthe Island but never told anyone about the Castaways. One by one the members of the Rock Band or those Russian Cosmonauts start to disappear.

Never. Not ashamed, but never. I don't even like saying "Hello I'm Judy and I'm an alcoholic" because it seems so inorganic. I'm so much more than being an alcoholic, although I AM one. Society love labeling people, I like my labels on items not people--we're so much more than that.

I am very open about it, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of. I am an alcoholic, I didn't ask to be, and now I am in recovery. It's not the first thing I tell people but when it comes up for whatever reason I am completely honest. I am proud to be an alcoholic in recovery.

@ Hefner.............Thanks for sharing coz my Sup not boss only knows about my lisc being suspended coz I didn't show up to work one night. I sinned by omission(didn't read the 10 day letter cop gave me to get temp lisc until court date). He doesn't know about me being in AA but when I celebrate my 1st birthday in June, he will be one of the 1st people to know!! I've since been demoted coz of evthg arising from it but even if I don't get back up where I was I'll still be damn proud of myself.
