Drinking in the morning after very busy and stressful two weeks and thinking I am okay after all I have been through is not very smart...

Glad you recognize that and that you are here. Whats the plan for the rest of the day?

At this point pizza, smokes and likely more drink unless I can talk myself out of it - well on my way which is part of crisis thinking earlier

I scared myself before with a cancer scare and did 12 step rehab thinking I was at risk earlier. Disaster.

Hi taiga62 Maybe go for a long walk and try and clear your head or go and have a good sleep. Your thought pattern will be much better sober. Drinking will just lead to anxiety and depression which just means more stress. Glad that you are here

Just got off the phone with someone asking my advice on a huge life changing decision. I told her I admired her capacity to talk to friends because I don't.

Arthritis and old injury keeps me from walking like I did last year as 2nd walker in kilometers for team in a challenge.

What about riding a bike? Or Swimming? Anything to keep you busy and your mind in the right place.

I hope our support here can help you stop drinking for good.

Taiga I feel for you. I know you know rinking does not remove stress! It just delays it then it comes back even harder! We're always going to have stress in our lives. Try another way... talk to a friend... talk on here... do something that will occupy your mind...

Hope you pull through ok...
