My weight went up so fast drinking again.
bloated and uncomfortable. I had a black out the other night. Could not sleep last night until 4 am......This is crazy!
June starts tomorrow. I put the rest in the bin in the bottom of the refridgerator, I should just throw it out....jeesh!

I really think when I saw the scale go to 139.5 It really excited me. If that makes any sense...(maybe I used it as a reward???)
I don't know. anyway
I will have a dry June.

when I look at the numbers it is more and more clear to me that I can't be a moderate drinker. I can't have just 2 unfortunately.
I am a problem drinker, I binge...5 or more in one setting.
That is me.
But drinking won't define me.

I will become a runner.

Bizi, I that that I might understand.

In your words, it took me a long time to understand that "I can't be a moderate drinker".

I think that your insight that "drinking won't define me" is a really positive thing.

For me sobriety is the only choice (I don't know about you).

Any time that you would like to have a chat by PM about this is good with me.

With care and concern.

I had to stop drinking alcoholic beverages years ago. It would have caused my liver to stop working. I drank for ten years very heavily.

I read the Bible,and slowly stopped. I was really addicted mentally,and physically to bear,alcohol in bottles,and especially the 151 rum in a bottle. I drank to feel less anxiety,and it worked at first. It does something differently to you after you have been drinking for a while.

Anyway...I don't touch the stuff anymore. It's been over 20 years. I'm on medication,and I still read my bible. BF

The liver can be a real issue. My cousin went to rehab; doctor warned him his liver was not good. He was a very happy drinker; and in denial. At age 46, he passed away. Good for you BF. I know it is very difficult.

I had smoked for over 25 years. I never thought I would be able to kick the habit, but after several attempts at quitting; I finally have been cigarette free for several years. I realize I cannot even smoke one cigarette or I'll be right back smoking even more.

Hi Bizi
you seem to be going along well you just have to ride it out, when you think about it we all have sleepless nights I find if I take a sleeper at night I am fine but then your body get used to them so only now and again I will take one when I am stressed really bad, anyway bizi stick to your guns and hold in there and chin up every day is a new beginning.
