Clockwatcher, it sounds like we had very similar weekends about 14 days ago. Isn't it amazing how much better this weekend feels? I was up bright and early and went to a few garage sales, something I used to enjoy but stopped doing because I was bed-ridden with hangovers every Saturday. It just feels wonderful to have the entire day in front of me and NOT feel sick!
Gregorino, I have a pretty lousy job, too. I'm just scraping by with what they pay me and the 2 guys who own the business are nuts. But, you are right: we are VERY lucky to have jobs right now and I remind myself of that and the very sweet co-workers I see every day. Your plan to go home and have a nice dinner is excellent! I'm enjoy food SO much more now!
Remorse, 20 days?! Wow, good for you!! I, too, think of that warm, buzzy feeling after a glass or 2 of wine. But I never, never, never stop there - every single time, if I take even a sip, I will put away at least 1 entire bottle and be bombed and making a fool of myself, slurring my words, getting weepy or angry, stumbling, falling and finally passing out. And, we all know about the "cold gray dawn of the morning after." No more for us, right?!
Lavande, you are such a treasure. How frightening to have injured your head; thank God you recovered! It really is hard to think of how so many of us have abused ourselves. I suppose my worst was falling down and breaking a rib - I was in severe pain for weeks, but continued to drink. Oh, something interesting I noticed last night. I was brushing my teeth and when I was looking in the mirror I noticed that my face looks different. I was getting a bit of a bloated look and it is now gone! I can actually bear to look at myself again ... in more ways than one!
I hope everyone has a terrific, SOBER weekend!
