I have been trolling a bit with the search looking for a list of substances containing alcohol for my supervisor. I am trying to cover my own ass in case he searches my barracks and finds something unappropriate, you know?
Thanks

Here I am at Day 1 ...again
I am sick and tired of getting drunk all the time. It hurts, I feel terruble, I do things I should not be doing, I spend money I do not have to spend, and I hurt those I love (not physical abuse).
I am powerless over alcohol. As I drive to the liquor store I say I don't want to do this, but here I go again. I don't want to do that drive anymore. I want to be an addition to my family not a negative. I am so depressed.

Maybe read the lables before you buy?

On Day 7 here... just about to hit the weekend.
Was invited out for 'drinks' tonight, which I turned down as I know there would be lots of people there I didn't know, which makes me anxious... and guess what I do when I get anxious! I know I could go and have non-alcoholic drinks, but I don't feel confident about this one.
Saturday night I have two parties to go to but they involve really good friends, and I have already told a couple of friends I won't be drinking, so I feel pretty confident there.
Sunday: I don't normally drink Sundays, but have dinner planned with four non-drinking friends anyway.
Monday will be Day 10, and that's a great reason to stay sober all weekend.

It's day five for me today.
On day one, hungover of course, I rode the couch all day flipping channels on TV. Day's two and three were go to work then after work ride the couch flipping channels on TV until bedtime. On day three I did manage to go the drugstore and ask the pharmacist what I should be taking because I'd recently quit alcohol, so on day four I took my first vitamin B complex pill.
After work on day four I had lots of energy left. Normally, (at least normal in the alcoholic sense!) I wouldn't have much energy left after work and would laze around until I justified to myself that buying some more booze was a brilliant idea. After supper I went out into the front yard and trimmed our hedge and cleaned up the junk that had accumulated in the yard.
Today after work I had a half hour nap because of the insomnia last night, then went and cleaned up the front yard even more. I didn't spend too much time actually working, but the results are dramatic! This makes me really, really happy because for the last few months the yard has been bothering me; I came to see it as a reflection of my inner state.
Tonight when I came down our street from walking the dogs I looked at the house and felt a sense of calm, not Japanese garden calm, but it reflected the feeling of relief I'm feeling inside today. Looking forward to even more energy coming my way!
