Hi All
Happy to be sober today. I have colleagues in town this week who are known to want to hang out and drink, and in the past I would be out there with them. NOT NOW.
It's so much better to be home and safe. One of the guys is a really big drinker, and I don't know how he manages to do his job. We all have complex high tech stuff to deal with and it's hard enough without a foggy brain. The first thing he does when he gets here is load the fridge in his hotel room with beer. He also had an injury and is now awash in pain meds, which he takes all the time.
I am just so glad to NOT be a part of all that anymore. Of course I have no way of knowing if he or anyone else has repercussions from drinking, but I would bet that they do. All I can do is take care of myself and do the best I can.
It never fails when people are here from out of town. They come by my office and say we're all going to wherever tonight, are you coming? I LOVE SAYING NO! I have learned that even if I say OK and plan to only have dinner that I would end up drinking.
This was before antabuse. No question of drinking now obviously. But still, I would rather come home and save the $$ so I can buy ahouse next year, rather than eating out and watching them drink.
Life is good. Thank you all for being here
