Founf brandy

I made it through yesterday, but today while cleaning, I saw a half bottle of korbel that I forgot I had. Oh how I just want yo drink it down. Its 12:36pm right now and all I keep thinking about is downing it. I keep thinking "why not, **** I dont have a job, might as well." I know once I drink it, its off to the races. Today is day 5. Its so early in the day, hope I can fight the urge.

Honestly, dump it right right right now. My husband left out an almost full beer on Saturday night. He does this all the time, and I have to admit some mornings I would drink it but Sunday I saw the cans, and threw say the empty ones and when I picked that one up I went straight to the sink. Practically
ran over so there wasn’t even time to consider. Please please don’t drink it!

I hope you dumped it out. I’ve dumped out numerous bottles, sometimes almost full, of liquor my husband and son have left out in plain sight. I don’t feel guilty about it and it keeps me from possibly drinking in a weak moment.

Don’t think, just dump it down the sink. It’s like ripping off a bandage. Let us know how you’re doing, okay?

Feels good to dump or throw out alcohol. About the only physical revenge you can take out on the stuff!

Wish you would check in and let us know you've gotten rid of it Toni. It only leads to more pain and shame.

Its really true that there's nothing so bad a drink can't make worse.

Chapter I
I walk down the street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I fall in.I am lost… I am hopeless.It isn’t my fault.It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II
I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I pretend I don’t see it.I fall in again.I can’t believe I am in this same place.But it isn’t my fault.It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter III
Iwalk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I see it there.I still fall in… it’s a habit… but,my eyes are open.I know where I am.It is my fault.I get out immediately.

Chapter IV
I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I walk around it.

Chapter V
I walk down another street.

Next time temptation pops up, walk down a different street

Not long after I got out of treatment, I stumbled across a pocket-sized aspirin box (the kind you buy at a convenience store which only holds 12 pills).

I looked in and saw a few Xanax's I had secreted away.

It was like reaching in my socks drawer and seeing a rattlesnake.

I grabbed it and quickly flushed the contents down the toilet.

It terrified me.

Everyone on this thread has given you good advice.

Please follow it.

That's like finding a bomb behind your couch.

Get rid of it quick, before it kills you!
