Thread: Alcoholism Thread V. ti martwonies

I've started drinking agin the last 3 nights. I'm on xmas duties with the Army and live on a large barracks. Everything's quiet at the moment with everyone being dissipated around the country on xmas leave. There are only a few poeple living back in camp and the bars and shops are closed. I feel quite chilled about the fact that I'm getting sloshed at night and turning up for guardroom duty in the morning. I'm not...

7 days no drink 3 days no pills i'm craving candy like a mofo! In treatment for my recovery, it's not bad. I finally asked for help. on my laptop, and hooked up to wireless signal, keepin a blog of all my ordeals n stuff.

^ At this current moment? Yes, actually. Believe it not, I went to a bar tonight for 3 hours and drank COFFEE! Granted I was with company who wanted coffee, and me drinking would have made it *awkward,* but 3 hours in a bar without drinking any alcohol felt terribly frustrating, but also quite good. I surely did not anticipate such a challenge, as I wasn't aware that a bar would be the chosen location, but I passed the test! The only...

Thanks so much for your support guys, I really need it Quote: Originally Posted by SA (and here you have to be honest with yourself) This, I'm beginning to realise, is the main problem. It would seem that I've refined the art of tricking myself and justifying my alcohol consumption to myself, I've lost sight of what's really going on with my drinking. Perhaps limiting drinking to the weekends isn't good enough. Perhaps...

Yeah its been getting a lot easier for me to stay away from it , I really wouldnt wanna mess up my day count to be honest. I would hate to be back at day one again , everyone close to me would be pretty disappointed. I'm feeling much better without it anyways , drinking was just making me way too sick after awhile. It just...

^You're not kidding. I long ago lost count of the times I drank solely because I was bored. I'm glad not to be doing that anymore. I think more and more about a dry 2010 every day. Although moderation has somewhat sought its own level for me, when I do drink, I find myself becoming more depressed at times - should be obvious given that alcohol is a depressant, but we alkies do have that eternal question: when will I learn?

Fell off the wagon last night. A few cans of strong bow and a beer so nothing serious. Hit me hard though cause ive been off liquor for awile and it certainly does not mix well with my meds. Im not beating myself up about it which is good. No big deal and it is december after all. Not that im planning on drinking much cause it puts me in a right state these days and gives me cravings for uppers. Which is odd because im not that big of a fan...

Never mind the fact that the bible says drunkeness is a sin. Yeah it was a laugh, nice curries and attractive Indian females in their saris! The ceremony was a bit long though. Last time I went to a Christian wedding I got wasted, ended up blacking out by 9pm...it's a mixed memory...
