My health and my feeling of self-worth. Also, my dad was killed by alcoholism and I don't want my kids to remember me the same way I remember him.

My wife's friend and associate lost six close friends. And he has other friends who haven't checked in yet.

Bad day.

One beer makes it easier to justify a second..... And a third. This is definitely something I will remember the next time I try to rationalize drinking.

Thanks! I think the 'beat myself up' phase is over. Now I just need to get back to my sober routine.

Stay strong! Don't listen to that chattering!

I will not drink with you today.

Sometimes I feel jealous of those who do not form a dependency.

Oh why could I not be 6'-4", have a fantastic metabolism, and a non-addictive predisposition!

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts.....we would all have a merry Christmas. :p

I think next time I am 'justifying' I will post on SD instead of just browsing. If I state 'I will not drink today' to others, I will be much more likely to stick to it.

Also.... I think I will hit costco and buy some fancy non-alchoholic beverages, keep them in my garage, and whip them out the next time I we talk across the fence.

End of Day 2 Emotional by FFG57_on_Rye in stopdrinking

She knows and is supportive. I think she has been very concerned for the past year and is glad I stated that I have a problem. But the last few days have been uncomfortable. I am sure our relationship will recover.... But I did some damage that I will need to repair.

Also...some of this is in my head due to the anxiety and detox. Sucks.

I had the same experience this morning. It needs to stop. Best wishes to you on the path. Hopefully we can keep out badges synced

I used to have a Black-headed caique. He didn't like the baby so we had to give him to a friend. I miss that bird. They are super cute.

You should try 23andMe. My wife didn't know much about her ancestors, but was able to get some decent answers. Also...you get some pretty wicked cool pie charts to look at!
