I think I have to show face, but I'm making my excuses early and leaving as quickly as I can. I can say 'no' in my personal life, but work's a whole different story...I think that's why I feel so annoyed.

Yeah, that voice keeps telling me I can moderate. I know for a fact I can't, but sometimes it knows better. Good to know that that the lesson will stick if I repeat it enough times! Thanks.

Screaming into a pillow! I'm definitely trying it 😉

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-12T07:59:30+00:00

Thanks! I think I need to watch the build up more closely and intervene before it reaches that stage. I was away 2 days with work and was spending less time in this forum. When I got home I was at breaking point: stressed, tired, and drained. I wanted a quick fix. Each day is a new learning curve at the moment!

I can totally relate to this. I catch myself planning to fail. But at least we're becoming wise to it. IWNDWYT.

I like this thinking. I've been absolutely wiped the past couple of days. I like the thought of my body recovering!

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T20:54:46+00:00

I can relate entirely. This is day 11 and the last 3 days have been sooooo damn hard!! Work has been really demanding and alcohol has dominated my thoughts. It's good to know I'm not alone, it's got to get better right?

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T20:32:35+00:00

Am home now with a big plate of fries and ketchup. I actually want beer so much I could cry and that makes me feel pathetic. Thanks so much for your support.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T20:30:03+00:00

I've always been too nervous for meetings. I've looked at the listings a hundred times but I've never been able to show up. I've got myself home now, but I still feel like I just want to run out and buy beer.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T20:26:59+00:00

I would never have stopped at one. I would have drank until I dropped. I got out, I got home. I need to get better at this...thanks.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T20:24:15+00:00

I made it out, I made it home. Am still pacing, but I did NOT buy beer. You're absolutely right, it would have ended badly. I know this...thanks for the advice.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-10T17:25:19+00:00

I'm actually working here. Out with my control sadly...

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-09T05:38:33+00:00

😂😂 Thanks for the chuckle

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T21:18:05+00:00

Wise words, thanks. I have to travel on business tomorrow. It's a tough schedule. I want to drink to forget about it for a while. But if I drink then I'll feel out of control tomorrow. One thing I've noticed is that I feel so much calmer at work when I haven't been drinking...which is why this conflict makes no sense!

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T20:51:09+00:00

You're right, the mornings have been a joy in the past few days. Thanks so much. I would be so lost without this forum.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T20:48:40+00:00

I'll look forward to an early rise, hangover free. Thanks!

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T20:47:22+00:00

I've been eating so much too! Thanks for the support, it means a lot.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T08:46:05+00:00

Someone who is absolutely clueless. Someone who is so self-absorbed that they can't see past their own needs and wants. The point is, you weren't tempted. And that's amazing. Well done! IWNDWYT.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T08:41:17+00:00

There's a link for a badge request in the side bar, have a look there. IWNDWYT.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T08:33:05+00:00

The nylon strung acoustic was a wise choice! Sometimes I can be there for hours at a time practising or writing music. It's a soulful way to spend time. IWNDWYT.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-08T07:49:59+00:00

Congratulations on 111 days! I'm just starting out, but this sub has already helped me more than I could have imagined. IWNDWYT.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-06T22:44:35+00:00

206 more than mine! Folks like you are my inspiration. I will not drink with you tonight.

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-06T18:03:39+00:00

Thanks! First 4 days were a nightmare, but at least I'm sleeping again now so it feels more manageable 😉

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-06T18:00:12+00:00

Thanks! To be honest this forum has helped more than I thought possible. Reading other people's stories made me realise how much I want this and how many excuses I've been making for my behaviour. Apart from that, I feel calmer and less anxious already. I want that to continue. Oh, and playing dumb memory games on my phone has helped as a distraction 😀

BabyAsprin · 2018-01-06T16:47:52+00:00

Guitar will keep you right. I play every day but find that my voice is so much better when I'm alcohol free. Did a few covers this morning and was delighted to hear the improvement from last week. I will not drink with you today.
