Plus we will be making a trip to the hospital since my son was in an accident a week ago. So, I've been an emotional mess with him which leads me to more drinking.
I don't know what else to say outside of the last time I was on here, I received an overwhelming amount of support. SR saved me before and hope it saves me again.
Thanks for listening

Well, I had a wonderful day with Family and Friends sober. I also spent a good time talking to my son about my addiction and he's very supportive. Plus, we had to touch on the pain meds he's receiving and how addictive those can be. That's going to be a whole nother chapter.,,,,
I'm feeling much better at the end of Day 2 after getting out and actually eating a great meal, seeing my son get up and walk around and more importantly not drinking. I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow without a hangover!!

One thing about being an alcoholic is that you hide things including your disease. It really does feel better letting it out and not holding those feelings inside.
Can you imagine trying to disguise an 18 pack of beer on a bicycle? Well, I did it quite often and nobody really knew. Then to stash the empties and figure out how to ditch them.
Yea, I'm done with that whole routine... Have a great day

I bought a basket for the back end of the bike and an 18 pack fits perfectly in it. That really wasn't my intentions when I bought it, but it sure came in handy when I wanted enough beer for a couple days. Yea, the extremes we go through to drink. 
Now I'll be able to hold more food since beer won't be in the mix.
