Well my brief flirtation with an ED has come to an end.
I was abusing pseudoephedrine for its appetite suppressant effects and the pharmacy rang my parents about it.
It was nice while it lasted.Well my brief flirtation with an ED has come to an end.

Geez, man.
At what point are you going to admit your addictions are unmanageable for you and you need inpatient treatment FF?

Hi all. Just got back from lunch with my family and they took me to pick out a new coffee maker. 
I have some nice decafe to replace beer. Didn't even think about wondering over to the booze section. They where sweet and waited till I was done with a noon meeting to eat.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mom's, whether it be furbabies, adopted, bio, etc! ❤❤❤

I'm back--so broken and humbled, I thought I could do this but no. I am on day zero but tossed all the alcohol and just attended an online meeting--first ever--honestly it really didn't speak to me but at this point I will try anything.
I hate me.
Edit: okay that's dramatic and not helpful. I hate this addiction, not me. I will do everything I can to beat it.

Good question. I think it's ego--like I can handle it by myself--but obviously I can't. Also, I think I've been fooling myself about how serious this is--when I don't drink i love my life but then I think well I can add alcohol back--I wasn't that bad. Which clearly is wrong.

I often add it back because AV sounds so stinking loud. And there are those few hours it seems like it will never end.
But then I know that the further you get from day 1 that stupid voice quiets down.
So indeed... why add it back as it just prolongs misery.
"Alcohol prolongs misery" -my quote of the day to feed back to my AV... who is quite loud at the moment.
Sam we can do this. I hate alcohol too!

This is an addiction. So life gets good, but the addiction still wants to be fed.
We just fall prey to 'it is all ok now and I can handle it' voice.
But why try? Ultimately, what is the benefit?
We can 'fit in' just fine without booze. I know this to be true.
We just need to let go.

On day 21.
Happy mothers day to all the mothers here I wish you all the best.
It's a big struggle to change these habits and stay sober. I'm trying. I read the last few pages and see it's hard for all of us in the beginning. Days feel like years sometimes.
We know it can be done. By seeing those here who have made it through. They stayed on the path. I just gotta make it past today without picking up.
Gnight all

Congrats on 2 weeks Primativo! And 3 weeks FiveTries!!
Good to see Calm and Scott racking up so many days!!
I attended a great meeting after my little AV attack that really knocked the craving out cold. I am in bed and going to read a bit before sleep. So glad to not be passing out tonight.
Good night class.

FF, we are addicts. We can see what you are doing. You come in here and things are on the upswing for you, and then the other shoe drops in your posts. I don’t make it a practice to tell anyone what to do. But it’s time you hand over the reins, turn in your things at the door, do what they say. I can’t watch like one person tell you what’s up while the rest of us are polite or try not to confront the most recent shocking thing you posted. I’m a stone cold drug addict and I’m telling you get with it.

Morning all
Thanks for all the kind words back Suze and everyone. I didn't drink yesterday and was reading but didn't post.
Sam -I can relate to all you say. It's good to see you back.
Citrus-good to see you too and great to hear you got through the day.
Was going to go to a SMART meeting last night but there isn't one on a Sunday. No matter. I will attend every other night.
Day 2. Although I slept fitfully I feel better than any time I've had a drink the night before.
Thanks to you all on here
