23 More Minutes
 
Until I can order wine to be delivered. What a city, right? just a point, and a click. Please talk me out of it. Can also go out till 4am, but that is, was never an option.

welcome back magicalthinking.

You know it's a bad idea already or you wouldn't be here.

Noone ever woke up wishing they drank the night before.

you haven't been here for a while - how have things been for you?

What's the point of drinking? "I'm going to spend tons of money to slowly poison myself to death, while throwing away everything I care about in life, so I can sit around and be lonely and depressed."

Not exactly a very good life plan, no?

Thank you, D. I haven't posted, but I have been here almost every day in the year since I joined. 5 minutes left, thank you for your kind response. Needed it.

The worst life plan. Can't believe any us relegated us to that plan for so long. Thanks for reminding me, Troy.

Thanks, shirlygirly.

Magical, you can get through this without ordering. I remember seeing a sign in my local store advertising with pride that they received "great news!!!" they can now sell alcohol at 8 a.m. on Sunday's. Great news for whom? Alcoholics like me who would do their weekly shopping extra early and then waste my day and wake up Monday with the monster feeling of dread, feeling ill and shaky. Yah. Great news for the old me. I like remembering my weekends and waking clear headed. Push through it.

Magical, maybe it would help to start posting more? It did for me. I felt more a part of the community than an observer from the wings and felt more comfortable reaching out.

Magicalthinking 06-04-2015 09:57 PM

Thanks, all. Ordering window is now closed. Ruby, I completely agree that they make it too easy on us. I have ordered from the same place on the same day, even, more times than I care to admit. Thank you for your message. I agree that I should post more.
