cos i got to a position in the end queen where it was either have a drink or have a meal-and the drink ended up winning the argument !!

Mimi, I was thinking about that yesterday after noticing many people with cat or dog avatars.

My cats definitely were part of my wanting to quit, and are big part of my wanting to keep sober.

I'm not an aa member. I think there other ways. I also think moderation is achievable as I have been able to do that for the most part. A big issue for me is who I hang with. If it's just myself I do well. I don't think my problem is drinking as much as it is just obsessing on whatever is near.

queen

joey, it does not sound like it was one drink.

joey8262

it was queen-then another-and another, before i knew it i'd be on the verge of passing out-i've got so angry with myself over the last couple of months-i've despised myself for months and thats where the incentive is coming from to stop-that and as i've said-to improve mine, and my son's quality of life

queen

Mimi, I need to find a diversion when my head is ready to blow. I think you can be addicted to good things too.

queen

joey, have you ever tried to stop after 2 and move to water? I don't think it is good to beat yourself up thus the reason why I do not support aa. Self esteem is a big part of healing.

joey8262

water doesnt help you forget things-or help you when you're feeling low-the angry part of me is giving me the urge to carry on-if i slip back i know i'll end up hating myself even more-at least this way i'll end up feeling some sort of satisfaction when i'm clean

What the hell is this Cottage Inn??? Chocolate cinnamon sticks sound insanely gooooood Pamm .

I pigged out on some chili dogs and a pile of pffernuese cookies. Hey... I'm a cheap date what can I say !

Seltzer with a splash of Pom in it is a nice bubbly drink theonlyway. Have you tried that ?

Good luck all.
