HI Chelle

Maybe instead of focusing on AF, you could cut down? Sounds like you are having a ton of wine.

Can you start later every day? Can you cut out one or two days of the week?

Any progress is good progress, just don't give up.

Hi Chelle,

You and KTB sure sound like you've got more stresses going on! Write them down - if you want to spill with us, we can take it. Sometimes just putting it out there rather than carrying it all on your shoulders helps. Know that we'll support you both - hope things look a bit clearer in the morning.

apart from the hangover from hell, my dog looks in even worse shape than last night, and I have no money to take him to the vets until next thursday.
I even looked into taking him to the pdsa, but they wont accept him because im not on housing benefit.
So, I cant afford vets yet Im not eligibe for free vet services...
So, Im just supposed to watch him be ill for the next 6 days..

Chelle

can you post some symptoms?

If I don't have money to pay my vet- I take the dog anyway- they will not turn you away, just say you will pay it as soon as you have it- as long as it is a vet who knows you (ie- you are his client) I am damned sure he will see you no bother.

I have just seen you are going to take him- lack of money won't be an issue with most vets when it is an emergency.

My mum has 2 or 3 vets she uses in the UK, and all off them will let her 'pay later'.

I have 2 here who do the same.

Mind you we are good customers

I hear where you are coming from. I went 3 days AF (my record lately) and then drank a whack of wine last night. Damn!!!!! I have company coming friday so I went and bought wine for that last night, and of course bought ALOT and had to sample some of it!!! Why did I feel I had to buy the wine last night instead of friday morning?!?!?! And I am on antibiotics and really shouldn't drink, so why did I do it?? I'm hiding in my office cuz I'm afraid I must have that stale wine smell, chewing gum, keeping to myself, late into work as I could hardly wake up this morning. I need more sleep and my stomach is hurting. Why do I do this to myself?!?!?! I wish I could keep to my promises to myself and not drink during the week when I have to work.

So don't beat yourself up about this. It is amazing to me all the time how hard this battle is. But I think that the fact that we are aware of it and at least trying (every other day???) to control it, is a good sign. My brother drinks alot of wine too, and I think has just stopped trying to fight it, and just drinks the wine, but I'm sure inside, he is having a mental battle, but it is just so much easer to give in.

Let's never give up, ok??? Keep trying - ODAT - one day, we will succeed!!

Peanut,

I did the same thing with the wine! I was in the liquor store and saw a bottle of wine from my father in law's region in Italy, and cracked that bitch open a couple nights ago....I took 2 nights to drink it.....but the point is, I drank it.

Chelle,

I totally know where you are coming from, and how you are feeling. I am under a ton of stress right now as well, and caving to the pressure--feeling weak because I can't cope.

Even if we can try a day or two in a row, it's a start, hell, it's a start even realizing the issue in the first place.

I saw this post and thought I would reply because I know how it feels to want to have feedback and get none, and I know how it feels to feel alone in dealing, or at least trying to deal, with this drinking issue.

We aren't alone....we have people who understand us, even if we can't understand ourselves.......

Christy -I agree - a couple or few days in a row is better than no AF days at all!! I probably drink half of what I used to, which is a bonus, but not quite to where I want to be. I never wanted to be totally AF, just have more control, but I find that still, after that first glass, I won't stop until the bottle is empty. I must teach myself that it is ok to leave some wine in the bottle!!! Nothing bad will happen!!! Just go to bed!!! One day, it will happen.... I hope.

I have found that I am drinking less than I was. Even jsut tryng not to dink at all and slipping is better than the drinking we did before. Does that make sense? It makes sense in my pickled brain, lmao!!!

I know for a fact that I will be drinking tomorrow and probably Sunday as well, but the good thing is, I am hosting and cooking Thanksgiving dinner and so I have to be responsible. PLUS....I have to work on Sunday!

And yes, once the bottle is open or the drinking has begun.....it isn't over till the fat lady sings and the end of that bottle!
