Ahh those day ones they are a laugh are'nt they!
Jig you don't get away with sneaking in, you know that keeping drinking until Tuesday to celebrate your birthday is completly mental don't you! please tell me that you know that!
What a way to start a new year of your life, puking and well you know all the other withdrawal symptoms.
Stop now and maybe by Tuesday you will feel like celebrating!
Hope you are ok though :ghug3 and glad to see you posting, Happy Birthday for Tuesday.

So right LB, folks I know used to start on pints of lager and then have a couple of nips at the end of an evening, me, I'd have a half bottle of voddie before I went out, stay on the voddies then have a couple of pints to sober myself up.
Think I thought the pints of lager would rehydrate me and stave off the hangover or something.

I always drank before I went out. Then tried to look lady-like while I was out, wishing the whole time the evening could be over so I could go home and drink properly! Unless I was round someone's house, in which case, I would work my way thru all the booze in the house, shag their lodger, and pass out on the couch, lol!
UBI's - I used to spend drunken nights looking up mysterious illnesses I had - I used to be covered with bruises, especially on my legs. I had diagnosed myself with liver and kidney failure and a touch of leukemia. Also the beginnings of Parkinson's in the morning, coz my hands shook, and early onset Alzheimers.
My parkinsons and bruises have gone, and the alzheimers is slowly resolving itself. The astonishment on my bosses face when I actually remember something. How I kept my job these past few years, I don't know.

glad you are all here today....???? is there a reason you all posted when I was gone????
(working on it but i still find ways to make it always all about me)
Oh...I am good....my brothers liquer stock was actually appealing a few times, but I was safe under the watching eyes of the people I hurt the most from my drinking...learned a lot of interesting things about that last night...
recovery is a we thing...and i'm just starting to realize how much drinking was a we thing....didn't wanna think that..wanted to think i was on my own in that deal but i wasnt...shocking really.

*nands puts on momma hat*
Jiggy....i'm glad you are safe....I believe for myself that sobreity is about taking chances and living life, but NOT about taking chances with my sobriety! Sure maybe you'll be sober Tuesday, maybe you'll be dead....i'll hang my hat on sober for now.....listen to alley..she may not have many days yet but she often talks a lot of sense.
Jeeez wonky...that is me to a tee.... I too had to do it over and over and over again....I really really hpe this is the last time you have to prove this to yourself....you know you can change up the variables on this experiment all you want...you'll still end up in the same place. Ok OK i know i'm saying you you you but i get tired of being politically correct all the time...I only know the answer for me on what got me and keeps me sober...but i recognize an alchoholic when i see one.
So..you have bought yourself some time with the 12 weeks to marathon thing...great start there, and hopefully you will be able to find something more long term during that time. I guess i went through a period of 5 years where i stayed sober just till my son graduated highschool...and it got me 5 years well 3.5 had some slip ups...actually by the time he graduated i had found some other reasons to stay sober...and if you can find some way to feel comfortable between now and the marathon letting your friends know it isn't just about the marathon...that would probably be a good thing.
I'm glad you are all here with me on this wild trip you know...
I always drank from my hidden bottle at social events...it just wouldn't do for anyone to see what a true drunk i was...i mean when you are 18 and drink the guys under the bar it seemed like it had some sorta appeal, but it got pathetic at the end.
Last night my sis in law refered to when i "went away for a while" and came back healthy....kinda irks me....I mean this is a fcking physcial problem not a moral issue...I don't fcking drink cause i'm a drunk...get fcking over it...i went to treatment...
You know at some point i got tired of somehow being a second class citizen or at least seeing my self that way and PRESENTING my self that way..I don't hollar from the hill tops that i'm an alchoholic/addict...but i don't skitter away from it either....and i'm sick to death of being killed by this disease...i don't want anymore little holes out there left open to slip through when i have a weak moment and want to snarf down all the liquer in site without anyone sayign boo to me about it.
any anger in this post is absolutely NOT aimed at anyone else..it is about my anger at myself....my inability to accept myself as i am without that sensless shame and tell the rest of the world to fck off if they don't like it....just psses me off....i'm working on it
Just give yourselves the best chance you can to stay sober...you, like me are worth it.

I obviously took this seriously and managed to actually convince myself that it was actually possible for me to drink with friends etc.
This was going really well...well it was as long as the plan was for me to have "social" reasons to drink most days. I'd have the odd day when I didn't drink at all (thus proving I can't possibly be an alcoholic).
Well my boozy chums this stepped up a gear this weekend as my wife has been away all weekend. Foooooooook me I've had some booze. I mean foooooooooooooooooooook me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
I knew this was going to happen, absolutely knew it... But I still had to do it.

Sorry to hear about your moms basement but you are still an alcoholic don't worry on you it looks classy.
I don't know what is going on with me today, my mood is changing every few minutes, I can't decide whether I am having a great day or a rubbish one!
I blame Everton (and the ******** **** of a ref).
