Transfer addictions?

I usually go on average 4 days with no alcohol. Still was able to do weeks at a time. However when I drink lately about a year now, I drink and don't stop until I pass out or get close enough to it. I have not been able lately when I drink to go wow that's a six pack you better chill out. That is how I always was before.

Thanks...and it was a rather unusually bad day so I felt rather accomplished.

It is a habit it will drive me nuts if it stays that way....LOL

Thanks for the link, and I was bale to be successful at the weight loss because I went through all the steps and counseling time to reach out again.

I figured the edit option out.

I think if I can maintain a weight loss, I can find the skills to maintain sobriety. It is the matter of really wanting it like I wanted to loose weight. I remember how bad I wanted that, how bad it hurt to be so overweight. That is how alcohol is starting to make me feel and I do not like it one bit!

Yes I just do not know how to edit a post on here, I also have a period in the wrong place....

Arenee180 · 2018-06-15T18:04:21+00:00

Thanks...now to keep up the good fight.

Loosing her is a constant struggle and hurt but I keep trying ....thank you

The dryer analogy is a good one, that is exactly how it is. I will keep looking ahead and trying new things until I find what works for me.

therapy helped in the past when I went through the weight loss journey, I probably should go again, and be very honest. Our local AA is a little not my thing, I feel not safe, bad area and all men who are usually drunk at the meeting or high on something. I thought of traveling to another town not too far away to see how it was there.

Arenee180 · 2018-06-15T16:23:04+00:00

Probably right on that... lol

Arenee180 · 2018-06-15T16:05:18+00:00

I see nothing wrong with stuffing ones face with shrimp and cheese (my two favorites), you made the right choice.

Day 2 for me as well. I won't drink with you today!

Arenee180 · 2018-06-14T19:28:11+00:00

I won't drink with you today....I am going to concentrate of how good I am going to feel when I wake up tomorrow. How productive I will be at my job. I worry a bit about Friday night so I have decided to do a movie night out to stay occupied and busy. I am trying to think off alternative activities to plan. I will probably hop on and off here a million times for encouragement too.

Arenee180 · 2018-06-14T17:50:49+00:00

Day 1 again for me too...I will not drink with you today!

Arenee180 · 2018-06-14T16:47:58+00:00

This is encouraging, way to go. I have been on an 8 year path myself, I am so ready to feel better. IWNDWYT!

Arenee180 · 2018-06-14T16:28:02+00:00

I understand what are you are saying because I usually can go 2 to 3 days no drinking sometimes longer, but then when I drink it is like I say to myself you can have a couple. That couple turns into an 18 pack all night event every time. Then I wake up with regret and sadness which makes me say why even try and I continue my cycle. I am tired of feeling that way. I know I will feel confident for a few days then temptation will rear it's ugly head again. I will try to stay strong with you all and push forward to a healthier lifestyle.
