    Here I am again...

    Hey All,

    After a long stretch of STUPID, I am back on the bus! I have a zillion life excuses and curve balls to "blame it on" but the fact remains that it is the same old story. Drink one leads to drink two, drink two leads to drink four which leads to drink six which led Guy to his old patterns again! Self medication has turned into a prison in my mind once again and I am exhausted from trying to keep it all together.

    Hope to reconnect with old friends and make some new while my journey continues!

    Guy
    Day 3 AF!

            Hi to everyone. I'm back too after about a year of also being stupid. It's made even more stupid because I knew my liver enzymes were very elevated and I kept on drinking wine almost every night. When do we ever learn! Went to a GI dr. who told me he thinks I'm an alcoholic and the only treatment with positive research based outcomes is AA! I go back to him on 3/30 and I'm dreading it. He was not at all warm and understanding. He said "this is not a character flaw, it's a disease". He said he wanted to see me again in 6 weeks and not drink anything. I said OK. He said "I don't think you can do it". I went one week then had a couple of glasses a night for the next week. Since then I've gone AF for a day or two but have cut back on days I do drink. Even tho he said it's not a character flaw he was kind of acting like it is. I'm thinking of cancelling the appt and going to see someone else. He had never heard of naltrexone or any other treatments besides AA. I'm seeing my therapist this aft. so will get her take on it. I would like to try baclofen because Nal can cause liver problems too.
            Thanks for listening guys. I wish all of you good luck in getting out of this hole we seem to keep falling in.
            Auntie.

                Hey Auntie, Dexterhead, CMguy, same story here. also just returned after a year of being "stupid" like this way of putting it.

                GL. May we all be stronger this time. Auntie, I'd dump that doctor.

                The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

                  Glad you came back!! I wondered how you were when I wished you a happy birthday back in January. I think you'll find the realization that you just can't drink, not one, not ever to be a relief.

                    Hi Guy,
                    I can totally relate to STUPID. I woke up repeating the definition of insanity..."doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results." Really stupid....day one for me...again.

                            Hi Greenie! I'm assuming you were talking to me when you mentioned a happy birthday in Jan. I didn't see it unfortunately, probably because I was too busy drinking wine and not getting on MWO! I'm still struggling. Went to the therapist today. I think she will really be a help to me, but I came home with another bottle of red wine. :upset: I like what you said about it being a relief not to drink. I quit smoking back in the late 70s and found that it helped to think of myself as a non-smoker. It's harder to do with wine for some reason. I look forward to talking with you more.
                            Regards, Auntie

                              I'm with the lot of you. I'm back too. Day one for me. The last two months I have consumed more beer (which never was my drink before) that is served at a Super Bowl party. (So it feels like anyway).

                              Welcome back everyone! xo
