Thank you so much, Brain. And.... I am really sorry about how much you have suffered - and for the hypocrisy you encountered at the AA group you frequented. I would like to believe that there are AA groups out there that are not this cliquish, and not so hypocritical. I do not know, but I sure would like to think so. ~ waves ~ |

thank you for sharing brain patch.
I am sorry about your liver and kidneys. AND for the pain that you experience. I can't imagine what you go thru on a daily basis. bizi ya the guzzeling was a sure sign that it was becoming a problem. Jeff doesn't see it as a problem. I told him that I was not going to drink last night but then later said that I wanted a drink and he said "lets both just have one". I was determined to have an alcohol free night and I did. no alcohol in the house. I started my new diet yesterday and that doesn't allow me to drink 300 calories which is equal to an egg mcmuffin. 3 drinks=3 egg mcMuffins! no wonder I regained all of my weight. So today is day 2. bizi

I didn't like being in a group of people,and had social anxiety. I was very nervous at cafeterias,and auditoriums. I had anxiety attacks,and phobias. The Valium wasn't working very well.
When I became of age,and started drinking,and these anxieties seemed to melt away in the beginning. After awhile,I thought that I had a solution. I could drink on the weekends,and relax. Then I drank at parties. I drank. Then I drank,and drank. My friend that died recently said that I had it down to a science. He said that I would become mellow. Well I did,but I drank way to often. This brings back some bad memories. BF

I have never been a "fan" of alcohol BUT im addicted to many things, and if I leave one addiction, I still have plenty more to affect me daily...  so I understand you Addictions are very difficult to deal with and they are hard and deep into us.... We have to fight like you say in your signature: one day at a time... The classic: not for today, maybe tomorrow... I know it is very hard.... I cant stop eating even when I know Im severly affectimg my health I cant leave sugar But we have to fight !!!!
