I loved reading your long post btw. You've reached out for and found what sounds like great support - I'm convinced it's key to early sobriety. Stay strong! x

I found Addicted on Netflix last night. Biminiblue was talking about this show not that long ago. I watched only two of the episodes because they dealt with alcohol. It was scary how much the one guy reminded me of me. Drank at least a fifth of vodka a day... only he drank it straight, EWWW. The second episode I watched was about a woman who was a drug addict as well as an alcoholic. I will admit, watching her drink brought up that feeling of "Oh, I wish I could have one." They then showed her after she had drank a copious amount and my thought was "I never want to do that again."

Ack! My counsellor appointment was good, I missed the bus on the way back and got soaked. I know I should go to a meeting but it`s wet and raining out and I have to walk, and I am cranky (can you tell?) but I just want to stay home and relax but I feel guilty doing that so I don't know. Any thoughts? I don't feel like drinking, that's a good thing.

Random stupid fact. I had a Grey's Anatomy marathon and I'm now working my way through Bones. I'm about halfway through the fourth season and I've seen 14 people I saw in Grey's Anatomy in Bones
Hell, I'm proud that I was sober so I could recognize the same actors.

Ary, "Addicted" is absolutely a disturbing reality show. Stay with it if it isn't too difficult for you, there are glimmers of solutions in the show. Not to mention, that is where we are all headed if we go back to drink.
In AA they say alcoholics have two choices if they keep drinking, locked up or covered up. Watching those addicts on that show is what you hear about in AA, too. Alcoholism isn't for the faint of heart. This is tough work.
edit to say: Ary, I also watched Bones and Grays Anatomy. Both really good. I'm in Scandal now.

But take care of you. You already had one "meeting" today with your counselor.

Happy Birthday Natalie
IIya - drinking tonight would only ultimately increase your stress levels, not lower them.
It won't fix anything about the singular bedbug either
Just go have a good, sober time.

Sooooo, I've bought alcohol in every store in the county and hit every bar within ten miles, now every dang place that sells the stuff needs to be reset in my mind.
All the exits on the freeway? I know where the bar with the best food is. And the nearest Safeway. I guess the Safeway thing comes in handy for other stuff, but STILL. I don't really see them as triggers or unsafe, but dayum, girl. Is no place sacred?

My favorite Safeway to buy food is where I bought all my poison. I was terrified to walk in there for the first time.
That was the benefit of having state run liquor stores. At least I didn't have to see all the poison when I was trying to buy food.

I decided to stay in because I am extremely tired. My alternative plans for the evening are to eat because I haven't ate all day, and watch a movie. It's kind of nice to be sober and watch a movie. There are so many movies that I don't remember anything about. I am also trying to find addicted online because it sounds interesting.
Does anyone else get annoyed with themselves over the times and things they don't remember?
