Hi Guys - I haven't been on here much as life has been pretty busy. Grandma fell in her assisted living center 2 days in a row and now is in the hospital. Friday I went out to dinner and had a margarita, wish I wouldn't have, but stopped at one and didn't drink any more after that. I hate that I ruined my "sobriety date." It really wasn't worth it. Have not been to AA, but hope to get to go sometime this week. I do have an appt with the alcohol counselor with the cute shoes today at 3.

Other than that, things going great. Glad to be sober today. Glad I was sober Saturday night when I got the call to come to the emergency room for my gram. Was wondering what I would have done if I had been in the bar drunk when I got the call....

Hope you all are well.

More than a few times in my history, I have actually been able to have "one" drink and walk away, and nothing terrible ever happened when I had "one".

Trouble was, that "one" would invariably convince me that I was OK. See, I only had "one" and I could handle it. I guess that means I don't really have a problem. Maybe I'm not really an alcoholic....

and within a short time I would be passing out again.

I personally think that having "one" is about the most dangerous thing we can do.

It also is a very clear indication of our mental state.

hey wiscgirl - i have also had that thought in the past about being able to do the "one drink" and it did work for awhile but it wasn't long before I fell into old patterns. i hope you continue to stay strong and avoid the temptation of that first one....you can do it!! I hope your grandma is doing ok

Good to see you wiscgirl. Glad to see you are committed to going to AA this week, and to seeing your alcohol counsellor again.
Hope Gram is okay, too.

Oh yea, I can definitely see where 1 drink can lead to more. Im lucky it was a margarita, cuz if it would have been beer, I probably wouldn't have stopped....

Hi,

Next time, a margarita could lead to more than one drink...I have been down that road...

and soon became a falling down drunk...

Forgive yourself and try again...

You can do this, I know you can...

Hey, I was going to say that!!!

Very well said Groucho....that voice in your head convincing you that you can have just one.......yikes! I've been there so many times.



Stay strong wiscgirl!
