My kids are stressing me out

It's my birthday

It's your birthday

I had a long day at work

geez ------- I think I could go on forever!

I am happy

I am sad

I am bored, lonely, on vacation, etc......

I think most of us could find/make up an excuse at anytime of the day or evening if we wanted to drink!! Sad but probably true - at least for me.

I am bored.
I am REALLY bored.
You only live once. ( not nearly as long if you don't STOP this shit though )
I'm in a foul mood.
I'm in a great mood.
I worked/studied really hard today and I deserve a reward.
I'm an adult and I can drink if I want to.
Who's going to know anyway ?
I just got paid.
It's the weekend.
I'll start tomorrow.
It's not as if I spend my money on other expensive items.
This is the only thing I do JUST FOR ME all day.
The kids are revolting today, and I have to put a buffer between me and ADD boy.
I think I'VE got ADD, and I need to self medicate (this one is SHAMELESS ! )
I just ran into/spoke to XXXX and they are my drinking buddy, so now I need one too.
I just had a drink with above, but one is never enough, and I've blown it now anyway.

Will THAT do for starters ?

Wow, this thread made me smile.
There is just ANY excuse isnt there?
Bored, lonely, tired, happy, any emotion would have me reaching for the bottle.
In fact, now I think about it, even NO emotion would have me reaching for the bottle...

I need the buzz and energy to get through the boring task of cleaning - I love the momentary happy buzz - two days later after the binge I'm so depressed and anxious that for a full day or more I contemplate suicide. Duhhh...how much more stupid can you get

Sometimes things were going too well and I'd have a drink to put me in the lonely, dark place that I had become comfortable with.
...so bloody stupid.

Not an excuse, but a grave mistake...

"I've been AF for so long....I've got it under control now.....surely I can have just 1 or 2...."

HOW Many EXCUSES can we come up with

Lack of control (over situations in our life), we have the choice (control) to drink, and then it numbs us out, so we don't care anymore about our lack of control.
