THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Hey Unwasted

Me too! About 40 yrs exactly!
My daughter and her boyfriend are visiting today
and the weather is beautiful. I have to admit
it's briefly appealing to thinknof sitting outside
at the local pub and sharing a pitcher or two
with them. BUT of course that would likely lead
to a shot of Patron and absolute mayhem.
I understand-years of habit
Damn it's hard sometimes

Ann, you're really doing very well. Be proud of that and don't sucuumb to the short-term "pleasure" if it takes you to a bad place!

Thank you, Unwasted. I almost slept through an online interview I had today, but my friend called me up just in time--and I hadn't had any Al to drink yesterday. My eyes weren't puffy though, I wasn't sick, and I was able to get dressed and have my computer on in time for the Skype call that came 1 minute early. So, I know everything isn't perfect just because I didn't drink yesterday, but it was surely much, much better. I am also not going to drink today!

Issa, wow, that sounds like good sleep. I sleep light years better without alcohol in my system! Hope you get the job.

Thank you, unwasted. I'm not so sure that I will, but am steadily applying for jobs. Unfortunately, after I did great all day, I decided to have 2 beers before grocery shopping. I hate shopping SO much, esp. In the somewhat small town In which I live. It is all my choice, but I know that Al then alters further my choices, so I fear I will buy Al at the store. I should and really want to just buy healthy groceries.

Hey Issa

Sorry if my signature is misleading-
I don't have 60 days yet, but I will on 12/2

Bummer that I drank today (3 beers). No shots, which are unfortunately a very popular way to consume Al even though there is no big event to celebrate. I didn't black out like I have on several occasions in the past. So, I'm not totally down on myself, but I certainly let myself down. Was it the interview, the fact I had to go shopping, the Vietnam in HD I'm watching? I don't know, but I plan to stay connected to MWO and keep reading Vale's book.
