Class of November Part 3
Hi you guys,
Sorry to hear you are struggling today! TSH - I agree with nands, this is a white-knuckle situation! I hope you are okay.
I had some cravings when I was at the grocery store today (good news: I was able to go to the grocery store today!). I saw a woman with a big bottle of wine in her cart and started with the "see, other people drink wine and it's not a big deal, quit overreacting..." thoughts. Then I walked by a wine tasting table for my favorite winery. I wanted to cry but I kept walking. I spent a good deal of time looking at the holiday bargains and trying to convince myself of why it was okay to buy a bottle, but in the end I did not. *sigh* I hate this disease!

despite how horid today was...i do have to remember..now the craving is past that most of the time sober isn't such a long suffering affair..if it was i wouldn't be doing the sober deal
lets hang in through the bad moments cause the good parts are worth it
ok is that like too sappy goo goo?

It's scary to me how the disease hangs on forever... you're right LB, it's very patient. When you feel the most complacent about it seems to be when it strikes again in my experience.
TSH... how are you doing?
Anybody heard from those boys??

wibs checked in...but didn't hang around...have to get him going again on trivial...
Timmy is silent.....hurts a little to not see him around here...hope he is doing ok
fizzy is off pub hopping in ireland with his family
Jiggy...well he had best check in soon....
ok this would be a sexist joke here, but i'll leave that for the trivials after my meeting tonight....
If THS checks in and i've left please keep her company if you can. these hard spots come and go relatively quickly but they are pure hell to get through.

TSH checked in..she's ok for the night
My friend is here to spend a little time..she has 23 years of sobriety today. We had cake and icecream and she shared her expereince with us at the meeting. I have known her for 19 years and she was one who talkedto me when i was drinking and couldn't get sober...she really kept me going through that horible edge prior to going to treatment.
probably pop in later..but hopefully all of us will be happily asleep soon
(hug)

Hey nands, I was stalking your profile so I saw TSH's message.
I'm so happy I could cry right now... I got out of my house TWICE today, in my OWN CAR! I have normal groceries instead of Plaid Pantry groceries. Even a big container of kitty litter! I didn't have to wear snow boots. I could buy more than one two-liter and not worry about how to carry it home. I'm quite sure I sound like a crazy person but I haven't been able to drive in two whole weeks. I almost knelt down to kiss the floor of my favorite grocery store.
I now hate snow with the fire of a thousand suns. I don't know how you guys stand it who get it all the time.
Hope everybody has a good night's sleep! What do you think that star is grabbing at, exactly?

What's scary about the star you posted nands, is that it's actually its mouth, eyebrows, and outside of its eyes that move, rather than its eyeballs. That seems like a pretty severe neurological disorder. Perhaps it was brought on by too much drinking.
Ok, so I have made it through tonight... no matter how grudgingly. We sat and chit-chatted and looked through Christmas presents and then played Rock Band 2 (one of my presents... I'm a RB/Guitar Hero JUNKIE).
Now it's almost 2 a.m. and I'm not even tired. And I'm still p!ssed off that I didn't/couldn't drink. Didn't help when my best friend told me about how she had 4 beers earlier this afternoon.
But, another day in the history books.
See y'all tomorrow - and thank you for sticking by me and helping me. I love you guys.

I wouldn't gloat about that Wibble. It's only fun when you're not drinking!! So come on, hurry up. So I can always be ahead of you!! I'm on day 9, so coming up to my traditional two week relapse. So there is hope for you Wibble!! You can beat the Super Guinea if you try!
I'm not drinking now, so get gloating!!! I'm expecting a right coating off from Fizzy and Nands!!!
Its weird how it happened. Just totally came out of nowhere. When i think about booze and really crave I never end up drinking. But when i'm happily wibbling along... BAM...
Any sign of Timzup?
