Drinkin Thinkin...& WINE!
Drinkin Thinkin...& WINE!
Just got in from Colorado. Spent Thanksgiving there. Had a blast..Upon my walk into the kitchen I spy 3 bottles of wine. My eyes just went there. The lush side of me would have said "Looks good but what are you guys going to drink"...BUT I have a good run on sobriety. Keep in mind..my drink pattern was Wine..Beer..and Whiskey. I am not sure who said it or how many times I have heard it on this site..but I remembered to play the tape thru. Given the options..it would NOT be one glass of wine with dinner. It would be more like 2 bottles. AND I would have NEVER made it to the Black Friday sales at 3AM. We found the best sales ever. It was my first time (always too hungover in the past) and I have yet to ever see anything like it. People lined up around the stores waiting to get in. People shopping in their PJs. I got dressed but did have a bad case of bed head. Friday night we sat around the table playing games. I gotta tell you..I think it is my first experience with sober Yahtzee! I LOVED IT! Saturday night we took in a hockey game. No problem for me not partaking of the beer drinking. It has always been a thorn in my @ss that they charge 6.00 a beer. I am too cheap to pay that. Came home this morning. So grateful once again for this site. Lots of good advice that I apparently take on the road with me. Monday is fast approaching. I hope everyone has a great sober week and many more to follow..
It was a good post to read tonight. I definitely agree and I know what you mean about looking at those 3 bottles and KNOWING you and you alone would be drinking them all. I remember early on in sobriety thinking about having some wine. I thought well I could just go and buy a bottle, but would I want just 1 bottle? Hello addict voice! Nice to know you are still there and aren't leaving. LOL! Haven't had that thought in a long time thankfully. I do remember though.
