BACK FROM WORK TRIP

[Struggles 106]

Hey All

I made it throught he week, working with a guy who drank a LOT of beer every night. It was interesting watching him have beer after beer after beer and not seeming drunk, and never being late to get into the hospital where we were working. And as I've said-it's a highly complex technical job and he does it very well.

So my hat is off to those who can handle it, though I am certainly not one of those people.

All is well now that I am back at home safe and sound

Hey 199

Not me=I never could handle it. From the first sip at 17 I was wrecked. There may have been a delusional time when I tried to pretend I could handle it, but alas not true

One other thing

Thursday night I called my sister from my hotel and she was drunk on wine as is common. Some nights she is worse than others but I am pretty sure she drinks every night.
Once you get some distance from it, it just seems so sad. And cringe-worthy to think of all the times you yourself was a complete idiot either at home alone or out with people.
GEE I wish I had not done that, but you cannot change the past.
My daughter sent me a text last night saying that if she didn;t have me she thought she'd go crazy. I have to take care of myself for her. And for me too but you get my meaning.

:goodjob: Ann!!! Am going to see my sister later on today--firts time since Easter--and spending the night at her house. Am sure she and the nanny will be drinking their nightly wine, as we all used to do when I stayed there. Am focused on staying strong. Your story helps my determination, so thanks

I almost bet the co-worker goes through the same things that we do. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. The term 'master of disguise" comes to mind. Some are just better at it than others.

My ex drinks heavily, but is one of those people who don't suffer from hangovers. They do exist. Unfortunately, sometimes it keeps people like that from ever quitting.
