No go
Last night, I had less to drink than normal...but then couldn't fall asleep. I was so desperate, I took a Seroquel. Well, that was a huge mistake....it was like combining whiskey, rum, vodka and wine all into one hangover. I was not prepared for how I felt today...I expected something bad, but not that bad. I just thought the Seroquel would help me sleep.
So, (sigh) I know how this post sounds. Excuses, yada yada. I get it, I do.
But, I will say this - I'm not giving up. I can still do tomorrow. It's possible.

Can't you start right now FT? Why does it have to be tomorrow AM. Make now the moment.
I thought my last drink had to be this big to do also...it was not, just a simple drink on the plane and realized that was it....I am not trivializing how hards its been but you have to start somewhere.
Also, just look at the words - its possible does not sound definite and I think you need some definite right now. Take that same fight you have on here and turn it towards sobriety.

Also, I think people drink differently. I think you and I are different drinkers. Once I am going, there is no stopping.

On a side note, imagine my *genuine* surprise when not everyone was at the local bar drinking green beers today. In my head, that is literally what everyone was doing on past sober Patty's Days (and I have had them, believe it or not).

It's not impossible to stop drinking once you start. Mine ended smashing my skull onto concrete from a six foot drop. Head injuries aren't fun BTW! Yours could be more pleasant and you could dump it out and not suffer potential catastrophe!

On a side note, which (lol) nobody will comment on...anyone a marketing major here who went to college? Ever hear the "No Go" story?
The good old Chevy Nova. "Nova" means "No Go" in English. So nobody bought the damn (Chevy Nova) car in spanish speaking countries when it first came out!
I know, not really the time or the place for such lesson...

Free - I'm exceptionally concerned for your health. I know you already know this , but you are driving on bald tires.
My sister, who was a pharmacist, OD'd from drinking all night and coming home and taking something to help her sleep.
Please. Friend.
