I was looking for the two liter of soda I had last night. I remembered taking it out of the fridge last night, pouring my glass full, then for some reason I stuck it in the cabinet with the glasses, but didn't remember it. Just now, I was hunting for it and found it in the cupboard, instead of the fridge.

Has anyone else done this sort of stuff?

Well, I liked my mind while it lasted, too bad it's slipping away. It's hard to live life with a big glob of goo between your ears, that's all that's left from all those years of alcohol abuse.

44 days today without a drink. That's nice.

It's from trying to burn that 150 calories/hour... leaves you disoriented, all that head banging.

Way to go on 44 days!!

I've found my car keys in the refrigerator a couple of times

I routinely stick the cat kibble in the fridge, or occasionally the milk in the cupboard (fridge and cupboard are right next to each other)... I can get away with it, though, as I live with my senile father. No judging in this household.

Congrats on 44 days! :bounce

Would love to help, but I've always been more than a little absent minded.....luckily, in your case, have read many times that the brain does repair itself, for me, just try to make sure I leave things in the same place consistently.

yep....of all the things I have lost,I miss my mind the most....now,what was the question??

did I miss something?

Heh, I know I've killed a lot of brain cells. I don't have any up their fighting with each other, there's just that one looking around for the rest of them. -------> :wtf2

I know the feeling.

I misplace things all the time. I even look for stuff thats in my hand.
Your definately not alone on that one.

ROFLMFAO

That has as much to do with it being a "Senior Moment" as from alcohol.

Let's see, I have found my truck keys in the freezer, the bathroom and in the drawer of the night stand.

I have put a bottle of soda back in the pantry rather than refrigerator, too many time to count.

I 'misplace' things a lot. I think it is just age. Sure I did it in early recovery, then got better, then it started happening AGAIN, lol Now it is just a fact of life. I think my HP gets a kick out of me going on a 'scavenger hunt' now and then.

Welcome to the CRS Club. (Can't remember s*it). I am a charter member. lmao

Love and hugs,

Forty Four days without a drink...That is nice! Well done!!!

Has this happened to me? Too many examples to list. It all smooths out with time, then you will walk into a room with purpose, stop...and ask yourself what you came in for. Still doing a lot of that. Pick up the phone with finger pointed...and hang it up because I can't remember who I was going to call. okay, now I'm scaring myself.

Congrats again Firestorm!

Going places is my problem.

I want to drive from A to B and suddenly realise I'm at point C. I then try to get to place B (my original intention) and end up driving through D, E, and F to get there.

Even this evening I was on my way to my fourth AA meeting, turned into what I thought was the hospital and saw a fellow member walking up the road. I pulled up and asked him where he was going; since he was going in the wrong direction.

It turned out it was me going in the wrong direction.

9 days sober here!

I can relate, I misplace things and get lost driving places where I've been several times before. I even get lost in places like the mall.

Congatulations on 44 days... That's awesome!

It's called a brain infarction among civilized people, something a little crude to everyone else. Happens to all of us.

ADayAtATime

I do that sort of thing all the time...I catch myself putting things where they don't belong. I think that since I have such an over active mind I become airheaded or have a brain fart at times...LOL!!!
WooooHoooo! Congrats on 44 days, such an accomplishment!!!
XOXO

I can relate, it took a while, but my short term memory eventually got better. I still forget things now and then, but I am getting old quickly!

Problems with memory and concentration are also symptoms of PAWS. But it goes away eventually.

I've always been 'absent minded', 'scatterbrained'. So I can't blame aging as I've been like this my whole life! You're not the only one experiencing 'brain freeze'. It happens to a lot of us, so you're in good company!

Congrats on 44 days sober! Way to go!

I was walking in the heat at work, and noticed my vision was blurry and panicked a bit, thinking it was heat stroke. Then I realized my specs were on top of my head

I've put the ice cream in the cupboard, sure makes the wife mad, but it's progress not perfection.

gerryP

Ha haha...UEyes you do that also! When I can't find my reading glasses I automatically pat the top of my head a few times. They are usually there.

My mind is like a sieve. It's very difficult to stay organized.
