Okay! Wasn't that hysterical? Even the Christmas got manhandled. Ha!

It feels good to laugh at ourselves.

I scare myself when I look in the mirror. I can only imagine what the mailman and delivery men think of me when they come to the door.

Omigod! And the pizza man! I look like sh** this morning... I guess I should after last night, huh?

I'm new to MWO and reading these threads for the first time today.
My "defining" moment in my quest for help was the fear of how much time I've lost so I was struck by seeing my thoughts written in Finding Me's thread. I realize for the first time that I am not alone.

Me too Betsy. Today is the first day that I have decided to stop the BS. You always think of an alcoholic as a hobo on the street or my psycho babble AA sister - but never me. It feels really good to acknowledge that I have a problem with booze and that there are other people who deal with it as well. I had my last drink at 10:30 last night. I started this round with two beers at a business lunch on Friday and drank all the way through the weekend, day and night. I started drinking every day about 2 years ago, before that it was just weekends and holidays.

Reading through the other posts really helped - I see that others feel and behave and lose the same things. It's like an alter ego wrote those posts...I don't want to ramble too much but I think being able to communicate with others about this is going to be the only way that I can get better.

I am hungover and still under the effects. The worst time for me is from 5-8 every night, tonight I'll go to the gym for the first time in months.

Hey Will...

Some time ago I was using the "5-8 pm" as a moderation tool... ya, right. FAILED!

It seems I was better off drinking all day opposed to stuffing 5 or 6 vodka martinis into an evening.

Good luck to you... at some point, the BS has to stop. I'm still struggling with whether or not I'm going to drink today. Something doesn't seem right about not drinking on NYE.

I'm also thinking of skipping mom's place and heading to the City where I can get GOOD AND DRUNK and ride BART (subway) home. Lucky for me, the subway is right across the street from my house, so if I do decide to go to San Francisco, I have nothing to worry about.

Maybe hit a couple of the night spots. The subway runs all night too! No driving; just plenty of boozing.

I don't know, though... maybe I'll go to mom's house for her "party" and then she can drop me off at the station and off to the City I go!

I'm just not going to do it anymore. No moderation...no short goals...just not going to drink.

So you're starting today, Will, or tomorrow?

That's pretty much where I'm at too. Just stop the madness!

Moderation isn't going to work for me. I become insane when I drink *cry*

If I can just get past day three!

What I hate about drinking?

Waking up not knowing what, if anything, I said or did that alienated my loved ones from me and being scared to find out.

Waking up in jail.

Waking up.

Yes, that's a big fear of mine too, but so far so good, I guess.

Waking up in JAIL? That's the ULTIMATE fear and the repercussions!

I have no idea the repercussions just yet, still too scared to even get the police report, I only know I broke several bones fighting people. I'll let everyone go without my pathetic tears, what I've done is my own to own.

Oh I'm so sorry, Diamond. Did you get into a fight with the police or with other people? So sorry this is happening to you. At least you're hopeful. What state are you in?

Thank you hon. Yes, I fought with the Police, viscously apparently. Georgia, bad state to be in, all puns intended. I am hopeful because that is all I have....oh well, I will face it like I've always done, just pray for me please.

[Shikakai]

Yes, we will pray for you. A fight with the police... Omigod, how awful.

Diamond,

So sorry you have to face this. Truly. Will keep you in my thoughts. Trying to be AF tonight and struggling with my decision. If you are on your computer tonight, visit chat.
Hang in and take care. Hope is a good thing.
