Hey MB,

Sorry to hear that you drank the other night. I must say that once you get some solid sober time underneath your belt, the emotional ups and downs will even out.

I am not at all attracted to drama anymore. Yet, when I was drinking and newly sober, I used to seek it out. I didn't realize it at the time of course. It's unconscious and automatic; part of what alcohol does to our brain. Looking back, I see seeking out drama or putting myself in the middle of it was my way of opening up the door to drinking again, i.e., "I am so stressed out from this and I cannot cope so I am going to have a drink."

Hope this helps.

Mama, one of the things I've noticed about my non-drinking is that Mrs. Fen and I get along much better when I'm sober. Also, I'm reading a book called "Unwasted" which I recommend. The author makes an excellent point about her sobriety. She says that it got to be too much hassle to keep on drinking- quitting removed all the hassles and issues that resulted from her drinking. :h

it's been a good few days
I am taking the Campral and don't really feel much, but maybe a little woozy...but's that probably normal for me...!!!
just working and going home and making dinner and watching a movie
boring, but good
I have loaded up on vitamins and supplements in order to get my energy back, but I know that will take time...
Peace Out!!

Yay for 7 days. You're back on track! Hope the Campral helps too.

I am ashamed to say for 7 days cause I have said it so many times before. I guess the Campral is helping. I have very little desire to drink right now...but we all kow how that goes
I am pretty much being a boring sluggo.....and that's good for now
