Good morning, That's a heck of a dream Someday lol...RAL I'm glad your feeling the need to eat healthy if it doesn't happen all the time sometimes is better than not at all. I was up early this morning 5am went to my 7am meeting. I never did do the yard work I wrote about so today is the day for that...

I wish I was in Florida with your sunshine....I love 7am meetings.
It is so awful here right now....100% humidity.
I just don't get this.....if anyone understands meteorology, please explain it to me.
I was fine before I moved to America....but this relative humidity v humidity and dew point thing is doing my head in.

100% humidity. I can't go outside without almost passing out.

Hard to do yard work in this, but I will try.

(I just found a relative humidity calculator, so now I can work it out but I still don't quite get it ).

RAL

Ah yes venus that's it. Mr ral double vaxxed now 😃

Boondock

It gets really humid here too...walking outside is like walking into a sauna!!! lol...But I grew up here and don't mind it much just drink lots of water when working outside. I went to visit family a while back in Dallas Texas and it was 100F and super dry I felt like I couldn't breath!!! I'll take the humidity any day over that.

Wow......so I need to live in Dallas.....I can do that easy.

I watched a old western movie last night and this cowboy was at the town doctor's to get a bullet removed from his shoulder and the doc said "Here take two slugs of this whiskey and bite down on this stick"....I was thinking two slugs ain't gonna do anything!! lol

Lol I think that all the time when I hear of or see normies drinking. I rembember some years ago when I was working and at the end of my shift my boss was saying she was getting a bottle of wine for her and her husband and I was thinking how can anyone do that what would be the point even lol.

The one that always stunned me (and still does ) is when you see someone just get up and leave a drink on the table. No need to finish it.
I knew I was an alcoholic when I first noticed how much that amazed me. And then I became the person who would pick up the drinks my friends' left behind and finish them.

Hevyn

Me too, Suze!

I would love another sober 24 please!

Hello darling Hev..... ❤️

In for June. On day 5. Had a wonderful 4? 5? Day binge last week...i am so embarrassed, ashamed, humiliated. If last week wasnt my rock bottom, then i never want to reach that point. I can't even go into details cause of i go there in my head i start having severe anxiety. My best friend and a friend i hadn't seen for 20 years pulled an intervention on me. So i went to my doc switched my meds up and got an addition counselor, who i see next week and although, i have been reading on here the last few days, today i was ready to post. I also ended up in the ER (driven by my neighbor, how embarrassing) cause i had a GI bleed (tmi but pooping alot of blood) doc said i had a BAL of .23 (i only had 3 shots and felt fine) but it was 2 in the afternoon. I'm sure my bleed was from alcohol. Now i see a GI specialist and my doc suspects scaring in my Liver. I'm 41. Quit as soon as you think you have a problem. I knew i had a problem at 21 and wasted 20 years of my life. If it doesn't stick this time I'm going into rehab. I can't keep playing Russian roulette with my life. I have too much to live for. Sorry for the ramble! Good to see familiar names and so many new names hi dee and suz...I'm back.

I just want to reach through the screen and hug you so hard girl s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First of all ~ I am SO proud of you. ❤️

I had an intervention thrown on me and I did not react the way you did. I walked out. Of my own apartment....just left them there.
What you did takes courage. You put all of the right actions into place and you are going to do this now. I know you are. I can hear it.

I am so sorry you had such terrifying medical stuff happen....it is embarrassing, I know.....been there as well with the neighbour.
But in the long run, it doesn't matter....what matters is someone cared about you and took care of you. That is humanity at its best. s

Onward together dear BTG s xx ❤️

And hello dear Kehaulani ~ come chat with us s ❤️

thx suz. I could use a hug! Lots of tears today. I'm calling it therapy. It's so hard to be sober and reflect on all your **** ups, it's been REAL. And those are just the ones i remember! Omg, how the mighty have fallen. I was reminded by an old friend, that i am basically a shadow of who i used to be, i used to be larger then life. He told me to "be the bear"...i replied that my bear is in hibernation. (I was drunk) but the thought about being the bear sticks with me throughout the days.

Yeah, a "slug" of whiskey wasn't going to do much for me!
I was laughing yesterday because I realized that the word "sip" wasn't in my vocabulary, even before my drinking got completely out of control! "Guzzle, drain, empty the bottle and look for more", that is a better description of how I was.

Boondock

Welcome back Backtogood, That's a pretty frightening hospital visit. I'm glad you have decided to stop you can use that fear for motivation to stay off the booze.

RAL

Welcome back btg. Great to see you.

Day 6 closed. night all.
