Just found out my neighbors are going to be out of town for the next three days. I'm sure they're taking their kids with them, hope they find a spot in their car for that darn bird too! |
I hope the bird isn't staying lol, I've heard that when my dog is home alone lately but the basement workers are here, the dog barks and howls the whole time until we are home! |

I HAVE to watch the Wizard of Oz! I live close to the airport, and the wind has made it impossible to land here. Several planes have had to turn around. And our trampoline is now in our neighbor's yard. It's windy in Hell. |

Checking in day 2. Trying to think positive thoughts, that I can overcome this. You all inspire me. You show me that it can be done, that I am not alone. |
Have a great day Casey & I hope you make some big bucks at work tonight. :-) |

The quantities of alcohol we washed out of your stomach were more than enough to kill you." ... “I did this to myself,” she said, closing her eyes. The doctor’s voice was very serious. Almost cold. “Are you conscious of the danger you placed yourself in? Last Sunday afternoon you drank almost a full litre bottle of gin. I’d like you to tell me why.” " Excerpt from Ice and a Slice by Della Galton |

Have you NEVER seen the Wizard of Oz Fabeka??? :-0 |
Hi everyone, I will get better at responding to everyone in the next day or so. Just spending the afternoon watching Netflix and eating soft foods. Lol. Really looking forward to these days off as I can use them to refocus and get back to where I need to be. :) |
I don't know what I want to do, guys. One part of me says QUIT NOW; another part says MODERATION; while the third part says **** YOU, LOSER, I WILL DESTROY YOU. These days, the latter part wins. I have been feeling good for too long, and that can't continue. Next Saturday is my son's confirmation and since I want to reduce the stress I'm feeling about this, I'm doing what I can to prepare food that can be frozen. So, I've baked rolls, and now I'm making the casserole. The thing is, that what I'm preparing is boeuf bourguignon, and that contains wine. OK, so I went to the Special Liquor Store to buy one bottle of red wine, but instead I ended up with a whole box. Guess what I'm doing now. |
Fabela - I think all of us here know we can't moderate. Quitting is what's best for us!! AV is cunning, talking you into beef bourg blah blah (can't spell that ha!) and needing wine. Why not another dish? Lasagna!! I don't feel like you have actually reduced your stress in this way. I hope you get rid of the box and cuddle up with Wizard of Oz and popcorn instead! That sounds heavenly. I might run that by my kids lol! |
Feeling quite low today. This is taking my spirit, my confidence. I am feeling sooo sad right now. |
Rah what about different weekend plans? Is an NBA game really what you want to do? Maybe it is! Too many temptations though? I think you've got to be selfish in the early days. What would be relaxing and temptation free for you? |
Wicked Witch of the West: "And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell. [cackles]" Thanks to today's discussions - I have this little gem in my toolbox. Alcohol is a pretty POISON. Proof even in the Wizard of Oz movie! POISON! |
Please dump the wine right now, Fabela. Pick a different dish to cook that doesn't involve you having to buy and use booze. The wine is only going to make your other issues worse and probably cause even more additional problems. It's part of the problem, not the solution. Rah555, it really does get better with time. Alcohol is a depressant, an addictive one. Give your body and mind a chance to really heal. 2 days is wonderful, but it takes a while to come back from years of us abusing alcohol. Remember HALT--hungry, angry, lonely, tired. The easiest one of those to fix but also to miss is H. Are you eating enough today? Are you staying hydrated? You both are in my thoughts tonight. |

Thanks for the support! I am still not feeling well from my last binge so I do not think I will be tempted to drink today. Tomorrow I have errands to run in the morning. I made plans for my husband and I to go to a strawberry festival in the next town over. They have live music from 5-9 and fireworks at 9:30. It will be good to get outside and do something different. I am feeling scared. I think my issue has progressed further to a point that I simply cannot ignore. I am feeling low right now. I have much to be thankful for...my husband, my children and granddaughter, my parents, my sister, a nice apartment and a good job. I need to focus on these things. |
