Hey TBML ill let you use it :lmao Thanks nu way, I'm fine had a really nice Web chat with an SR member before and went in the chat room, you guys are great xx |
GotGrace Hooped Rochelle Someone shared yesterday about how a smoker wudnt smoke @ an asthmatic ...and in the same respect a drinker shouldn't drink @ an alcoholic. This helped my Bf put it in perspective ...especially since I don't even smoke @ him and he's not asthmatic. I just know for me the smell of a good wine wud send me inside the bottle like "I dream of Jeanie ". Maybe that will help ur hubby's too. |

3 weeks today I thought I was on day 19 then saw deekers post this morning gave me a great start for the weekend. I don't like weekends much very long and lonely but this weekend ive made some plans and the weather is to be good in norn ire. so that makes a nice change. AA tonight tomorrow starting to get rid of stuff in house and a hair cut and a AA meeting. Sunday long walk with Oscar and jaque(dogs) some marking a bubble bath then ready for school on Monday. |
Fab lommey well done and prepping for the wkend is a great idea! Xx Put the chq in the post pls BC |
6.30pm on a Friday night and the other half is out having dinner with a friend. Normally the time I would be ripping into a bottle of white wine. Instead I've got 2 films, Lovefilm online catalogue, books, PS Vita and the kettle boiling. Just reading some of your posts to keep me motivated. Determined to turn 16 days into 17 and so on. |
Day 12 today. I had a hard day yesterday. Real emotional and I have no idea why. I will be at an AA meeting today and Im looking forward to a sober weekend. I juat celebrated my sons 12th birthday yesterday..felt great to be sober. He is ny first born, and I always get so sad that hes growing up. |
Holy cow sorry for all the typos. Im on my phone(edited last post) |
Lots of posts to catch up on and good to see everyone here. I finally finished that giant jigsaw puzzle I mentioned a few weeks ago, so now I have my dining room table back. I neglected a lot of things this week like work outs and house work and reading just to finish the thing. That's my obsessiveness again - all or nothing. Since I can't seem to moderate that either, I won't be doing another one anytime soon. :P Now I can go home after work today and get my house tidied and do a workout, and that should keep me busy tonight and part of this weekend. One of our friends was telling my husband the other night on the phone that I don't need to quit drinking, there's nothing wrong with me. Don't need to be hearing that these days. He obviously doesn't know the hell I go through the day after with the sickness and shame and guilt. I think it's partly because I don't drink as often or as much as he does and here I am saying I have a problem. Those people can do what they want, but I won't hang out with anyone who isn't supportive. :) |
Right you are, madbird. And like you said, nobody knows the hell we've been through except us. My friends don't know why I'd quit, but my family sure does.... :( |
I'm so happy everyone else is doing well. I'm doing some apartment searching while at work today. I need a change! |
Okay I made it through the week I'm starting my weekend at the lake it's so beautiful down here right now the lake is calm the sun is shining pretty a couple hours how many sit around the fire pit sober for the first time in many years its funny I was here talking to my friends something wrong with you man what you change you seem different I'm sober they started laughing I told them guess which finger I'm holding up.

Don't judge me on my grammar it is fine I use voice to text for some reason my droid does not understand hillbilly. So is it safe to assume you're not the guy with the winning raffle ticket? Yes, indeed--we're finishers!!! |
Another long brutal work week done. Ready to do another hour on the bike. In fact I'm in the process of starting my Insanity workout next month then do the brand new P90X3 1st of the year. That should get my mind off wanting to drink lol. Also I plan to start my Antabuse prescription before I go to bed. 250 mg. One pill a day. Hope this helps. Day 20 and counting. |
Made it through an after work dinner without getting any drink to go with it! Phew. Day 20 done! |
Kind of feeling like I'm cheating. I went to see my doc yesterday about a few minor issues I have been having. Not really alcohol related. I told him about the drinking a year ago and at the time I stopped for 100 days. I guess he assumes my last drink wasn't 6 days ago. So anyway, he prescribed a pill for this toenail issue I've had for a long time, and I was like wait I heard about that pill years ago and isn't it bad for your liver and really bad for somebody with my history? He's like nah, the FDA came out and said they overstated that issue, and it really wasn't a big deal. Don't worry about it. I dunno though the package information still points to potential liver complications in some rare cases. So I said fek it and took it anyway. I need to be on this pill for 90 days, and I'm so afraid of it I wouldn't dare drink while on it. Yes, I realize this might be the most insane thing ever to be happy over. |
Morning everyone. It seems that most have pulled through to the weekend in good shape ! Tbml: I've learnt from my past but I don't hang myself with it. Observe, learn and move on. SC: good luck with your move. A different locale may be just the ticket. I guess it is a Friday night for many which is one of the toughest times, personally speaking. I remember in my earlier attempts at sobriety when Friday would come around. I tried to white knuckle it from office drinks to pub drinks/dinner and then home. Sometimes I made it but would feel frustrated, angry and sad with myself. I couldn't recognize the benefit of sobriety. I hope that is slowly changing. I think that my negative emotions were a reflection of my low self confidence and not realizing that I had an addiction. Trying to rationalize addictive behaviour is as useful as training a 3 legged dog to herd cats. Also, I now enjoy being sober ! It's the start of day 14 for me. A sunny Spring morning which always makes me optimistic about the day ahead ! Thanks to all |
Uninvited, I say: whatever it takes! |
Sixth day, I mentioned that I had a DJ trial coming up, well I had it last night and I think I pulled it off and may have a regular gig. I'm saying 50/50 chance at the moment. It depends on wether the woman who asked for Whitney Houston (who I did not pander to) was a plant in order to test me and that rejecting/forgetting her request was a good/bad thing. I think I may be getting paranoid :) On the alcohol front, I didn't touch a drop, and feel that it conveyed a certain amount of professionalism on the night The funny thing that happened was that I bumped into my drug and alcohol councillor at the pub I was playing at last night. I am feeling so much better in the mornings and my sleeping pattern has improved. I like the feeling of being tired and then going to bed rather than just passing out. Thanks for listening Well wishes to everyone. |
