Beautiful Saturday here. Just in from the store, bf out of town. This in the past would have been time to smoke and drink and act like a lunatic. SOOO glad I'm not doing that. I was watching (very briefly) people in the huge beer section picking out various beers and thinking
WELL that guy probably likes beer and he'll go home and have a Blue Moon or two and call it a night. Of course before I quit I was long past buying a 6 pk. I knew I'd drive to get more so I just got more in the first place. I think this is common with drunks.
I was just reading through some of the posts on the "you know you're an alcoholic when" thread. I have a friend who has a partner who drinks a LOT and she barely drinks at all. Back in the fall the drinking partner came home about 7:30 p.m. wearing only a Tshirt. No shorts, no underwear. (It was hot then) Naked from the waist down. My friend heard someone coming in and went to the front porch to see her nearly crawling up the steps to the porch. Very nice family type neighborhood. She had no idea how she got home or where her pants and underwear were. My thought was WOW-then I thought gee when I was drunk and took off my pants I somehow got them back on. Sad really. This woman is really in trouble, but she'll have to figure it out. Their teenage daughter calls her a drunk.
On a happier note-my daughter is on the USS Abraham Lincoln, at sea, last port was Thailand. Her recent facebook picture is her being lifted by an elephant. Very cool.
Thanks for being here guys
