Inventory of Insanity I used to drink things like Ensure to get proper diet stuff and add vodka. I look now and think duh. It all made so much sense once. Now i look, should i laugh, cry. Or just go on. I tried to write an inventory but couldn't find my pen. Need to be more pensive. On a true note, sober tday with a chance of sanity. |
I used to take a multivitamin...then drink, smoke (and rarely eat) the rest of the day. I also added fruit juice to my cheap wine...it was not only 'healthier'...but the wine lasted longer. hoo boy :lmao D |
I felt good about egg nog because of the eggs. Also, Bloody Mary's had tomato juice AND a stalk of celery....so nutritious. :) |
hehe I used to add vodka to the prune juice I had for breakfast and drink a couple of glasses while blow drying my hair. It never occurred to me this wasn't normal. Not once. |
Scary how we justified it. |
Oh heavens I'm glad we're sober. These examples make me wince and feel grateful. I mixed booze with liquids to balance the dehydration, thought it was a smart trick. |
the funniest thing was going through the check out line with a basket of health drinks and a bottle of booze and pretend to be normal. Today I did the drinks (sans booze)and pretended to be a hippie. |
The bottle of booze, buried under the strategically placed, unnecessary, healthy products. To really balance it out, I would throw in some hair care products and of course, toilet paper. I thought I was fooling the entire world. No one needs that much wine or toilet paper, for that matter. I've been sober for 8 years and I'm still working off my supply of TP I accumulated. Okay, not really, only joking. :rotfxko |
For awhile, way back when, I had a 6 month stint as a raw foodist. Raw plus wine, I mean---lots of wine. That was stupid.:rotfxko |
Used to throw some bananas and Greek yogurt in my cart at Trader Joes....really I just went for the wine! |
I went on the Atkins diet once. I altered it a bit, though. I added wine to the diet. I ate like a Queen. I'd be willing to bet that I gained a few pounds on that diet. With that...I cut out food entirely and went with a fermented liquid diet only. Crazy... |
A thing I love about SR, I'm crazy but I'm not alone. I think the feeling of being alone was the worse. |
1 Attachment(s) You were never alone. |
I am baffled by some of my former reasoning/rationalizing about drinking. But at the time I thought it made perfect sense. |

The funny thing, I'd buy the booze last but then bury it under the food i'd already bought. |
I used to keep Pedialyte on hand to help with my hangovers. I actually stayed stocked on it. ????? And no, it's not like some miracle cure or anything.... just a little better than water. I think I went years without drinking any plain h20. |
I never hid booze in the house or bought other things alongside to make it look normal, but what I did do is buy from different stores. I didn't want to buy at the same store everyday cause I knew the cashier would think, "wow, that girl's a drunk!" So everyday after work I'd stop at a different store for the booze and rotate them. I still drink now, but not nearly as much as I once did so I don't feel embarrassed to shop at the same store. Maybe that means I'm getting closer to getting sober? |
I would switch to beer occasionally - Guiness or Kilkenny - for the calories. I figured that I would drink less and slower b/c I woudn't have so strong of an 'empty stomach' effect. I never seriously considered....eating something....:c029: |
