ODAT - Thursday

[universal]

Hi Odaters!

How is everyone making out? We are almost through the workweek and into the dreaded weekend. I know I will not drink this weekend, who's with me?

I had a white knuckler yesterday. It was a really long day at work and all the way home I fought with my brain about allowing myself "one glass of wine" (that stupid beast in our heads trying to tell us it's a reward). As we all know, there is no way I would have had "one" glass of wine - one bottle maybe.

Anyway, I got through - I kept reminding myself how crappy I would feel, how I need to get a good nights sleep, how busy I will be at work today and how awful it would be hungover.............blah blah blah.

Anyway, onto day 5 for me today. Busy day but I know that's better because it will go quick and I can come home to my new jacuzzi tub for a nice soak!

Have a great day everyone, ODAT.

Hi Universal-Fluff's here too! It's my day 3-if I thought just one glass of wine-it would have turned into 5! Happy for you on resisting that urge!
Luv, Fluff

It's morning here. Will commit to no alcohol today long before that after-work, ridiculous dialogue in my brain where good sense seldom prevails. Then tonight I can just say to the alcohol beast who asks "Why can't I just come visit tonight?," just simply NO. "But why-y-y-y-y-y-y" And I can say (like I say to the kids) "Cause I said so."

Good Day ODAT'rs.

Been a long time since I have posted, only due to not having a computer for months.

Im happy to be back and be part of our little community of support.

I have been trying hard to beat this nagging little problem of ours called alcoholism.

I almost caved in last night as well, and since I work around alcohol, its especially hard.

Like Universal, I try to rationalize why I should NOT drink (all the thousands of reasons NOT), and sometimes that works. What also worked well was I ate a big piece of cake during my urge, and that seemed to take care of it.

I know the cake might not be the best for me, but I would rather eat cake than drink! Cake does not give you a nasty hangover and a day full of regrets!

Love,

Overit
