Thanks for the post Deek. No drinking for me either tonight, instead it willl be spent with my family, letting my son have a friend over, maybe watch a movie and tomorrow I will wake up without guilt, shame or anxiety over drinking...sounds pretty good to me and all I have to do is not drink that first drink - I'm in! 6:45 am on Friday morning.
5:58am in Costa Rica!

Just A Night Of Safe Drinking
Ever hear someone tell you to play the tape all the way through?
I believe if I were to pick up a drink tonight once I get started I won't be able
to stop.
I'll get an 18 pack of beer along with a pint or so of vodka so I won't go out for
more later. That should be enough right? I'll be safe and just stay home and drink.
No problem right?
Plus I will make sure I don't have any money on me so after I get the booze I won't
be tempted to get drugs later or go to a bar where I might flirt with some guy and
make a fool of myself.
What an awesome plan!
But 12 beers and a half a pint of vodka later my resolve to not drink and drive fades
and getting some pills sounds good. Cuz I am just not messed up enough.
So I go get a cash advance on my credit cards and set out to find some drugs at
the bar..
I get to the bar and forget my resolve to not go to the bar and not flirt with a guy.
I start talking to a perfect stranger thinking I am hot and he really wants me even
though I am now getting pretty sloppy.
I ask anyone and everyone if they have drugs and eventually find the drugs I am
looking for.
Now I am drunk and as high as a kite buying drinks on my credit card for people
I do not know making myself a prime target for someone to take advantage of.
Then I finally leave the bar as it is closing and go home with some guy and have
sex.
Then I get in my car to drive home and If I don't get pulled over I'll fumble with
my keys to get into the house.
I sneak into bed with my husband thinking he hasn't heard me stumbling through
the house and pass out only to wake up a few hours later hugging the toilet bowl till
I have dry heaves.
In the morning I wake up in a total fog, sick as a dog full of fear wondering what I
did last night looking for my credit card receipts for clues of how I spent my
night.
Then I find a receipt for 159.00 dollars from the bar and a cash advance of 100.00 dollars.
I may remember bits and pieces of the night and then it hits me!
I slept with a total stranger without protection.
Then I'm so depressed and paralyzed with fear that I will literally not be able to
function that day.
Anything I had planned to do that day whether it be work or time with family I will
blow off.
My family will just look at me with disgust and shake their heads once again.
In my mind saying to myself Noooooooooo I did it again!!
The guilt of this night might keep me sober for a day or two but the memory will
slowly fade and I will again plan a night of safe drinking.
Well you know what happens next.
I actually have no idea what will happen if I drink and that scares the living crud
out of me.
Isn't this how we all start out? We plan a night of controlled drinking thinking this
time we can handle it. Then the 1st drink,
Insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
It's the first drink or drug I have to avoid cuz that is the one that leads me down this
road to insanity and after all of that happening , picking up the first drink/drug again a
day later is pure insanity.
Tonight I do have an idea of what might happen if I stay home and away from alcohol
and drugs.
I will spend some quality time with family or watch a movie . I will wake up tomorrow
with no guilt, no fear, feeling well, no shame and able to fufill my commitments.
Nah Tonight I will not drink or drug! I Think I'll take a bubble bath!
How about you?
