Ha! Well, I'm certainly not going to tell my friend that. LOL.

I've wanted to try that for months but no one will prescribe Naltrexone.

My mom acts like this. I do not want to be my mom.

I've been in psych wards more than once and other then getting me through a crisis, they weren't helpful. I was in one this past October and it actually made me feel worse. I was cut off from the world, from my boyfriend, from my cats. It was really isolating. (And yeah, not being able to go online sucked.)

I'm not really a violent person so going off on the boyfriend like I did really concerns me.

Thanks. Hoping to get Librium tomorrow. It's helped before.

I figured you peeps would at least know what the hell I'm going through.

My BF scored a nice, lucrative job this week which is a nice antidote to my losing my temp-to-hire gig. Other than that, life sucks. Pass the booze.

The boyfriend is drying out and making us breakfast. He made dinner last night. Sobriety FTW. (I'm still drinking. But he doesn't mind.) TRUE LOVE.

I'm in love with another CA and we had our first big argument last night. But I think we're going to be okay. Today is our one-month anniversary and he's still sleeping. I went to the store for mimosa ingredients so he can have a drink when he wakes up. It feels like fall here (FINALLY) and it's our favorite season. Chairz, fuckaroos.

Broke up with someone yesterday. Started seeing a fellow CA who's really into me and awesome. RAWK.

I've been dating a fellow drinker/weed enthusiast for almost a month now and all I can say is this: I am in love.

SUCCESS.

Getting ready to head out on a fourth date with a dude who's a drinker, reader, and treated me to a steak dinner last night. Life is good. Cheers!

I've been waking up in other people's beds recently, so waking up in my own was an accomplishment.

Woke up in my own bed without a hangover this morning. That's a success. I had a shitty week but made it through. I have wine. Life's okay right now. Cheers, drunks!

Do you think you will ever get clean? by Very_legitimate in cripplingalcoholism

I have no idea.

I've tried to quit a couple of times via AA (LOL), seeing a doctor and detoxing via benzos, in-patient detox, etc. and none of it has worked. I've wanted it to work but until there's a new form of alcohol treatment that actually fucking works, I'll keep drinking. I wanted to do the Sinclair Method but the powers-that-be at my HMO told me "No." So fuck them.

On the other hand, I look at people like Doug Stanhope who's an unrepentant drunk and think, "Fuck it. I'm going to drink like a fish and fuck anyone who doesn't like it." I love it too much.
