sweet dreams ladies.

can you fool yourself and just have one without the vodka and extra tobasco
or can you ask the server if they have any great tasting beverage that doesn't have alcohol in it? how about nonalcohol beer. Cecilia who was an alcoholic but stopped drinking after her throat cancer always ordered that non alcoholic beer. i can't remember if it was St .Paulis She really liked it and found it was a great substitute.
i think at this point you are so motivated which is fantastic that it will just be a little hoop that you will.fly over. my father was an alcoholic probably bipolar
2 and he stopped drinking without a problem in his sixties.
love
bobby with fingers crossed

did he have mood swings too after he quit drinking?
love bizi

he was probably bipolar 2.
he didn't. have medicine and wasn't diagnosed. he still suffered from
depression. he no longer had to worry about money and was well off. he had put myra and me in private schools and paid for my going to u of penn which was private and myra smith which was also private. finally they moved into the apartment house he owned.

I found a new non alcoholic beer!!!
It is partak brewing company, a craft IPA

and only 10 calories.

So it meets both my requirements,

low calorie and non alcoholic beer.

It is like an oduls.
But tastes better, Yay!
I bought some diet ginger beer.
It looks good. and my pineapple mixer with
lacroix seltzer, that is 120 calories so will

save that for a special occasions.
Now when I am obsessing about drinking a
beer now I can drink a fake one.
This is a 12 pack with 4 different flavors.
now I don't have to suffer.I have been thinking

I would drink maybe tonight or tomorrow.

But I did not so that makes it a week.I made it!!!!

That must have been a full-on week bizi. Tempted everywhere even at brunch. It must be really hard to be socially active as you are and surrounded by it all the time. You're very strong to have done so well. I hope as the days go by that it gets easier and easier for you. I have no idea how long it all takes for the body to settle without it. If not already doing so, I'd be taking at the very least a really good multivitamin that also has minerals if you have some. (esp. the B vits, C and zinc). If you have any aches and pains try some epsom salt food baths to get some magnesium. Thinking of you.
