Still giggling!
Okay, okay....lol. I guess those are some pretty random examples. I guess I see this sobriety as taking an inventory about finally growing up and being responsible. I think I did lose some years of maturing from eight years of drinking every night.
On #3 I meant that I am paying the bill at 8:55 pacific which is 11:55 eastern when due at midnight.
You gave me some good chuckles. Sometimes when I reread my own posts I wonder what the heck I was thinking. Maybe more alcoholic thinking lol.

I remember back in high school I could study stoned (weed) and if high when I took the test did fine. If not I couldn't remember stuff. The dishonesty and repetitive compromising of my own principals (I've known I can't drink since '80 but did anyway) bleeds into all aspects of life for me. "Eff-it" became my attitude for everything. Less doing and more talking was my default SOP and I hated myself for it. I spent most of my waking hours under the influence--of course I have a well honed alcoholic mind.

I often hear the term "Alcoholic Mind" used on the forum. What does that term mean to you if anything?

Alcoholic mind = addicted to yeast sh*t which is alcohol. Seems so fitting our lives go to sh*t consuming sh*t.
But yeah garbage in garbage out should we expect any different out of our bodies when we sit around and consume garbage and these days sadly event he healthier choices are not so healthy anymore.
They can take something simple like beans spray em with chemicals put it in a can and soak it in salt water and ruin it.

In my drinking days I associated alcohol with fun and good times, made a lot of rash decisions and used alcohol as a solution to problems it only made worse. In retrospect I think it affected my decision making process in a fairly substantial way. What say you guys to the term alcholic mind or alcoholic thinking?

Yes! What's funny is I eat healthy foods most of the time. What I never could understand is how I could soak my flesh in beer and stink detoxing for 5 days sober and try to continue to eat healthy. Perfect case of self sabotage.
When I finally sobered up. I learned real quick just how malnourised i was despite the fact that i was 120lbs overweight i was malnourished believe me my body was begging for good foods and simply taking a multi vitamin was not gonna get me anywhere. It took a lot of healing to repair that damage.
