Thanks for the hugs DG, yes, Friday nite was fun, but Sat got depressing and Sun nite downright bad - not helped by depressing death movie The Fifth Quarter. Sure a good movie but I don't need sad, I need glad. And you guys make me glad, I feel a bounce in my step after a day chatting like this. I feel like we should all live in a neighborhood - a less virtual and more virtuous (for me) one.

I will get there DG, I fell down but I've gotten up before. And I feel stronger all the time inspite of it all. In no small part thanks to you. Still have Ne to thank for alerting you to my mess.

Thanks Is for sharing the love.

Going out to plant, did the placements earlier. Time to dig. :h

Oh, speaking of fruit!! I just recently tried honeycrisp apples for the first time, and they are AMAZING! Granny smith used to be my favorite, but honeycrisp will be the only ones that I will eat while they're still around! Supposedly they are only available a few months out of the year, which explains why they're more expensive than all of the other kinds of apples.

OH. MY. GOD. Are those back in season??? I remember last year when I was walking through Pike Place Market and someone handed me a sample of a honeycrisp and it blew my mind. And WA is like home of the apples or something, so that's saying a lot. I'm so excited now lol

the drinking alone thing... eee ghad!

(dg, i think it's great that you spoke to that. drinking is at the heart of our motivations here, so let's talk about it! i'd say we're in a pretty safe and smart place to unleash the candor.)

drink alone is what i did for years and years and years. i started problem-stepping it with guinness in my early twenties. in those days, sometimes i even smoked newports (i wanted to be like the kids from the ghetto i was tutoring, or maybe it was the boyfriends i tended to fetch). midway through my drunken period found me sometimes drunk and dancing in trendy downtown hot spots, sometimes blasted at the hot spot where i worked. so blasted that i couldn't count my thousands of dollars at the end of the night, or collect my hundreds of dollars in tips. that happened two or three times. fast forward 15 yrs or so, and i'd become an about-to-be single mother of a child of almost one, drinking vodka in transparent secret. that went on for three years, until baclofen and you guys.

what's so sad about it is, yes, the loneliness. i was loney so i drank so i stayed lonely. you can't go out and get drunk, 'cause then how'd you get home? i don't really want anybody to see how much i consume, so it's better to just stay at home and guzzle in private. yet i thrive on the company of others. the scene of being drunk at home without company was made uber-bleak by the picture of my toddler padding around underfoot.

i want to cry just typing that. i feel little puffs of sob in the softness under my lower left ribs.

thank god i didn't get caught driving with him while i had a serious buzz-on but didn't even know it because by that point it had become the norm-feeling for me during the evening. (that would have been a felony, i would've gone to jail, and my son would've gone into custody. all just before embarking into a divorce.)

there is so much to be thankful for, especially with the close get-aways behind me now. each day i find new things to acknowledge and appreciate, and a feeling of gratitude blossoms in me ever-wider.

bruun, if i flew out there to see you -and believe me i wish i could- we'd have so much fun that you might not even think of inviting your cloaked and masked friend to join us. so, until i can visit, do for yourself one of the best honors and make some new friends. chat up someone in the greenhouse/nursery as you're selecting your next haul. do your writing in a wi-fi cafe, for hours. eat in a restaurant, not at home. join a rowing crew (i bet it's big in northern cali). smile next time at the guy in costco. lemme know how it goes.

ok, well, i'm off to bed at a respectable hour, but still not early enough. it'll be 'the office' for me tonight! ('in the rooms' would engage my mind to much and i'd get all excited.)

i won't be popping a bronkaid to help me drop off.

hugs galore.

Drinking alone is the way drinking is for me, whether there is anyone else here or not. It's like I want to be left alone. I don't want any kind of stimulation. I never understood people who go partying. I am starting to appreciate music again, a lot! I don't know if it's just not being drunk all the time or if it is the baclofen.

I like doing both, in certain situations, however, it goes out of control 90% of the time so ... onward the path.

DG, I guess River Pharmacy sells our information ... thought of you when I got an email here ... although PO'd they have me marked as alcoholic by name. Wonder if she's spouting bac?












Note from Debbie the Coach


Did you know that you can cure an alcohol addiction without being abstinent?


River Pharmacy would like to introduce you to Debbie the Coach. Debbie is a leading expert in anti-craving therapies and has acted as an advisor to many River Pharmacy customers.
She is hosting a coaching session that we are really excited about and River Pharmacy customers get instant access and bonuses.
Here?s Debbie:

If someone had told me that 20 years ago when I was struggling with my alcohol addiction, I would have laughed. I was told I would be an alcoholic forever.
After losing people I loved from alcoholism and watching hundreds of people leaving the halls of AA, I knew there had to be a better way. I finally got the answers I was looking for. Research in the field of alcoholism is giving us new hope. There are a variety of new treatment methods available to problem drinkers. What I am going to share with you is one of the new methods that I have found. You don't have to get sober the "hard way" like I did.
There IS a Cure for Alcoholism, and it should have been shouted from the rooftops years ago.
Register now for my coaching webinar
This unique webinar will be the first in a series of coaching and training by Debbie the Coach.
My coaching techniques offer addicts a choice of new treatment methods that are not found in mainstream medicine.
Best Regards,

I hate it when supposedly legit outfits sell personal info.

There IS a Cure for Alcoholism

That sounds like she's talking about baclofen.

[Ne/Neva Eva]

Bruun's Titting UP

Wow. And so it begins!

That said, there have been people shouting cures for our disease for decades. decades upon decades, peddling the sure thing. She could be shilling aspirin. Who knows? I was COMPLETELY skeptical about baclofen and OA in the beginning simply because I'd read so much bull looking for a way out.

Hmmm. Maybe I don't need a life coach, maybe I need Debbie. My store carries honey crisp most of the time I think. Have you guys ever tried the SweeTango apple? It's a cross between honey crisp and zestar apples. My local grocer just started carrying them. They are tasty. The drinking alone, I know up close and personal. It's the way I mostly drank. Last night, however, I decided to get somewhat drunk with my neighbor. I guess I should be grateful I didn't do it alone.

[Ne/Neva Eva]

Bruun's Titting UP

Oh. And I'm with Ginger. Never really mattered if anyone was there or not. I was always drinking alone. But mostly drank alone, because wth is the point of other people around when getting the drink on?

bummer. Glad there's here. Glad you guys are here.
How's today, Bruun?

[GingerDust]

Bruun's Titting UP

I never tried honey crisp. I just bought some today because of people talking about it.
