Thanks guys. That was an informal request, not binding in any way.

D's - strawberries are in season here. Having my favorite foods around sure helps with the cravings. I also just gave myself a nice manicure and set up a small job for tomorrow. I want to be cute for my boyfriend when he gets home... and drunks aren't cute. <3
 
Don't feel badly, anyone. Boyfriend is getting a 6-pack for this hot day - I am not a hypocrite. <3 I'm having beer, only, with dinner.

Be well. Alcohol can be so destructive, especially when one is trying to beat other addictions or bad times in general. I'm damn sure not on a pedestal on all of this...

I'm not especially sensitive about alcoholism. I can have a few laughs about being a lush. ;) My comments were made for the benefit of others.

<3
 
Yikes, made it through a very short but intense withdrawal episode today. It lasted maybe 30 minutes but I started sweating and shaking a bit. I proceeded doing dishes and got through it.

I think that the worst is over this week.. It just sucks because next weekend I'll drink Fri, Sat, and Sun and go through the same damn thing again... Why can't I be a casual drinker like everyone else?
 
D's.......you can do it! <3


CC- I'm worried about you.....I am going to be honest here......it seems like you are trading one addiction for another, which is what happens ALOT with people.....also maybe a bit of avoidance of some heavy issues you have been dealing/or not dealing with.....you might try to take a look at them with a sober mind and see if they are really worth running from.....
I know if you set your mind to it, you will come through this quickly......
Keep your head up dearie<3


Generally speaking, honesty with yourself is very important........<3
 
Good work Charlie, drink plenty of water, try to eat something if you can, and get some sleep. You WILL feel better tomorrow <3
 
Excellent!! So good to hear man! <3

I'm facing a really really big challenge in the next upcoming 6 months or so. My boyfriend is going to do some more fly-in-fly-out work, which means he'll be gone for 3 weeks at a time. It is going to be HELL, and I have a few concerns, not least of which will be the fact that without him around it is so much harder to restrain myself from drinking. Plus I'll be going back to university next year so I really need to focus even more on NOT drinking.

Mega-challenge. I think I'm up for it.
I think...
 
Aww thanks guys <3

He hasn't actually left yet Charlie. He's done this once before though, last year around this time actually. And yes it is horrible :( The plan last year was that he'd do it continuously for about 3-4 months (i.e. go away for 3 weeks, home for 1 week, back again for 3 weeks etc etc). We last 1 trip, i.e. 3 weeks :D

This time though, it's for real. We're going to keep at it for as long as possible because the amount of money they pay him to do this is obscene. We could technically pay off half the house in a year.

*sigh*

Sorry that's totally off-topic :\

Spurs, how are you doing mate?? <3
 
Hey n3o, I'm not too bad I guess, not too good either though. My chronic fatigue is bugging me a lot at the moment. Still not drinking though...same old same old really.
 
I am going to an AA meeting first thing in the morning. I'm sober now, but not spiritually.
 
N- Well, it sounds like you will be kept pretty busy, which will help you to keep your mind occupied.....with school,friends and family and BLUELIGHT! :)
You know we are here for you......

D's- How do you mean spiritually?
Like in a Christian, need to be forgiven of your sins kind of way, or in a different, need to cleanse your soul sort of way?
Either way, yay you for being sober tonight! :)
 
My check in,
Emotionally: Depressed
Physically: Anxious, Jittery, Restless, Irritable and Discontented.
Spiritually: Lost, (seems like my prayers aren't working.)

I am a Christian, I have been saved. I accept Jesus as my savior. (not to get all religious here.)
I feel as my Christianity is slipping. I remember that it is a sin to get drunk, and what Christian am I if I'm getting drunk 24/7?
Hopefully tomorrow I will find an angle.
