Class of November 2011
Day 4 and still going strong. Football Sundays were a perfect excuse to drink. Went to In Laws today for an early Thanksgiving so I wasnt even tested today. My daughter has a basketball game Monday, and I have a meeting at church Tuesday. Wed night AA meeting and Thanksgiving with family Thursday. I should have it pretty easy until Friday.
The day after Thanksgiving was always a big drinking night for me. I foresee this Friday being my first test. I will not drink, but it will be the first time I start missing it.

Back home from my business trip and family wedding. First time I didn't have two or three or ten wines on the flight home. I didn't have a single drop of alcohol at the wedding either! Tomorrow is Day 7 for me. Surprisingly I feel like I had more strength away from home rather than home! Drinking alone was my thing so now that I am home alone for a few days I think I will have a tough time. But going to do what I did on the road and that's just do something else till the cravings pass. Welcome to the newcomers to the November class- its a great group of people who are tremendously supportive.
I was a lone drinker myself Marine. Now I just occupy my time with stuff I like doing. Like today. Went to the Niners game and just chillaxed. I even noticed a guy that's been going for years to the game. Last time I saw him he could barely stand. He had a diet coke in his hand today. I smiled internally. Got home and took a hot bath. It was cold out there today. Got into sweatpants and comfy clothes. Now just writing and watching the late night game before bed. Ready for a long winters nap. Hope everyone is doing well.
Tomorrow I have a biopsy to see if this thing is cancer. My bf is too busy at work to be with me..he says his work is too important. I called my brother, he said he is too busy. I have no one. I hate my life. I hope its cancer and I am taken out of this world..........
I'm sorry you haven;t got much real life support.
You do have a lot of people here who will be thinking of you though alaska.
Try not to worry or catastrophise
My wife went through something similar and it was nothing - I hope you'll find the same.
We got your back

Hi Alaska. I will keep you in my prayers for tomorrow and good results. Please come here and vent. Hopefully its nothing like before.
Welcome lambykitten and masterdeal. You will find great support here. ..
Today I drove 4 hours with my 23 yo niece. We talked about life a lot. I tole her about my drinking and quitting. She was so supportive. She is the only member of my immediate fam that I have told except hubby. Spoke to hubby tonight who sounded half lit. Guess he is getting his drink on since the wife is away. Not much I can do about that.
Grateful to be with my mom and family this next week. No cravings today. Day 20 today. I do much better when not at home.
Let's keep up the good work here and stay strong.

Alaska, think of you xx
Had an ok weekend but ate endless amounts of crap , ordered indian food fri and sat and feel bloated!!I do not want to substitute booze for crap food so want to start walking and healthy eating today. No thanksgiving over this side of the world, just a normal week , prob just as well. I imagine thats as big a temptation as christmas but we will not be tempted, will we?? Lol!
