I am a 51 year old wife, teacher and mother of 2. I have a 21 year old son and a 25 year old daughter. New intro...I am sober and love it! It isn't always easy but it is always worth it!
Old intro...I am fighting this damn drug called alcohol. I have been a weekend binge drinker for 30 years. I binge 2-3 times a month on a Friday or Saturday, but alcohol kicks my butt every single day of my life. I am sick of it!

8/8/16 (Sun) Terrible Sunday - Hangover
Drank way too much wine and felt like complete crap all day Sunday......so tired.....
I don't look at this as funny...but as the stupid truth!
It's such an odd chemical. Very complex. For me, it wasn't a matter of control, but of letting go. After a few days, it was easy. Re-read your sober period. It simply "clicks". What owned us, what controlled our every fiber....simply fades. Like smoking. Day 97.
Oh wow, that is such an accurate representation. Get to feeling better, chica.
ReplyDeleteI used to swear off drinking one day, only to go back the next.
ReplyDeleteThis is the truth!

ReplyDeleteI like that - "not a matter of control - but a matter of letting go" - somehow that feels (in my being) an easier thing to do if that makes sense.
DeleteFor a long time I swore I was cutting back on Monday only to drink again of Friday.
ReplyDeleteThe compulsion only grew and grew.
Take care of yourself.
