Since that is out of the realm of possibilty I will probably just see her in the office. She is accustomed to drinking with me for the last 10 years when we both started with our company.

SO...none for me today or any other day-thanks! There are other (braver?) people here she can go out with and drink. I say that because I am still terrified to drink-knowing what I know.

Also-jsut read some stats about the average # of years between starting drinking and getting help for it-about 20 years. LONGER than other addictions like cocaine etc.
Gee I wonder why!? Could it be because it's legal and so acceptable as part of our daily interactions? I think so. "Let's have a drink" Sure wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard that.

That is VERY interesting, and I totally agree with you, that being a legal drug probably is the reason people dont seek help earlier. Thanks for the tidbit of info!!

NC Guy, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

I think many of us drink because we avoid pain, whether physical or emotional. And then we just feel worse.

Not going to drink today, for the 3rd day straight. The fact that I feel more or less like I felt when I quit smoking is a very good reminder of why I?m not going to drink.

I wil not drink today due to I dont have to have a severe hangover the next day for drinking almost a gallon of rum. It feels good to wake up without the hangover.
Wishing everyone a AF day!

Past the witching hour and sipping on tea. Two days in a row. Had lunch with son at a Pub and had fish N chips with tea. He had a lovely looking beer with his meal. Good example eh... it's about time.

I am not going to drink tomorrow because I don't drink anymore so there is no way of me drinking tomorrow. Today is an af day and I will continue that trend.
