ODAT - Tuesday, April 28

Hi & Good Morning all ODATers!

I was thinking about not posting until I had a week or more of AF days.

Someone very wise from site told me that was kind of defeating the purpose. So, here I am in all my (non) Glory!

I had it worked out (in my mind!) that I could drink yesterday AND get things done. I drank & got nothing done.

Worst part is that I returned a call I got from my brother (who Rarely calls me!). It was later that evening, and I felt like I was sober by that point. But he wanted to get me off the phone... so I think he could tell. The last time I spoke to him before that, I was drinking.

(But, honestly, does he have a Camera in my place that shows him when I've been drinking? On the other hand, the odds have been good that I have...)

So here I am - Day 1. Cannot mod. Cannot drink. Do not want to drink. (I know that's easy to say on Day 1...)

I pray that I have learned an important lesson, because otherwise yesterday truly was a complete ruin.

And I hope that others can learn from my mistakes, as well.

It SO isn't worth it. :upset:

PS - When I've chosen to drink, I thought myself quite clever because I would buy "only" a pint so I couldn't drink too much. Guess what? A PINT is WAY too much!!! Who was I fooling..?

I do the same things Savvy. I think I can have a few beers and get all kinds of stuff done, but I end up sitting in front of the TV. When I do drink hard liquor, I do the same thing. I'll only buy a pint. And...you are right, a pint is too much. I cannot Mod either. I don't even know if today will be day one as I am going to the beach with one of my girlfriends and I'm thinking she might want to have a few. Hopefully, she won't. She is in a relapse too, but is seeing her therapist this morning, so maybe she won't want to drink. I am too weak right now.

Hey Blue - I buy pint of Canadian whiskey & mix w/coke. Think I should change that to "USED to buy"!!

Thanks for asking about my Dad. It is difficult for him - he keeps trying to take off sling... And he has to keep on 24/7 for 4-6 wks. Not good. Just have to take it day-by-day...

Hi guys,

I am back on the topa and am finding that is working well for me. I had to cut my grass yesterday and came in and was thirsty and had one beer - ONE beer!!!! and that was all I wanted.

I find that low doses of the topa work really well for me, problem is I HAVE to take it every day or it does nothing.

Anyway, today I fully intend to be AF. I have no need or desire to drink. I am tired. I leave for a weeks vacation on Saturday, I am really looking forward to that, god do I need this vacation!

Hope everyone has a great day,

love and hugs,
Uni

ODATERS!!!!

Running in for lunch and stopping to say Hi.

Traffic court this AM. Sitting on the court pew thinking how grateful I am to just be paying a fine because a year ago I probably would have gotten a DUI along with the speeding ticket. It's nice to be able to do anything anytime.

Be good to your innards.

Hi Savy

:H Somehow I didn't think you were refering to a pint of beer!!!!

In UK only thing sold in pints is beer and cider in the pubs (bars), thanks to European Legislation everything else is in litres and millilitres.
