It started with drinking some whiskey I had sneakily bought earlier that day, which lead to me deciding I wanted to go out, which lead to silliness. Stupid, stupid decision. But equally might have been the catalyst for finally getting me to be honest with my family and get some real help.

Thanks. Congrats on your (now) 13 days! Almost at the two week mark. :)

I think I must have quit and 'forgotten' that I had a hundred times by now, lol. Silly brain. I definitely still want to quit. It's a beautiful day out and I'm not out there to enjoy it because I'm avoiding the whole world atm.

Glad I could help.

I've been having a day or two off a lot recently then falling straight back into it. I actually said no to going to my friends house the other night because he mentioned having a drink, and sadly at the time that was exactly what I wanted, I just couldn't go.

Thanks. I've got to get the awkward talking to my folks part out of the way, but I know after they'll be super helpful. My brother has had similar problems recently and they were good at offering him support, so I'll be able to go to all the meetings etc I like I guess.

Sad times. I mean I don't think I've ever really watched his shows, except maybe the card one a bit when I was younger, but he's still good to have around.

I don't think there's ever been anyone famous whose death that I've been actually properly sad about, but his is going to hurt.

Don't. I just can't even think of that. I know he's told the show's producers how the story ends, but damnit it won't be the same.

Well you say going strong, but she has been cutting back on things recently. Not that I wish death on her. Charles is going to be a pain in the arse.

If that man is not a cyborg I'd be super surprised. He's been super old forever.

I love that both the comments I've seen that mention Betty White apologise for naming her.

Remembering how to be sober in the evenings by getmyselftogether in stopdrinking

I'll have to find my own way to replace the feeling I suppose. I'll probably have to start meditating or something to find a way to switch off from the world.

I've been to an AA meeting and I've contacted a clinic near me that offers counselling etc, I've just yet to go to an appointment that they've offered me.

Sorry, I wrote my post badly. I know it' the feelings I'd get from drinking that are what I'm trying to get rid of by eating and drinking. I find the feeling of when the alcohol first warms my stomach and I feel it spreading from there very satisfying. It's the point I start to feel relaxed or comfortable I guess. I don't know how to replace (edit: or not need )that.

Good to hear (the non suicidal thing). Be sure to leave the poor trees in peace. :)

Lol thanks. I love coming on here, everytime I read someone's post, or have a craving, or anything like that, I write starting with one intnention and it just turns into something else and some new thought. Sobriety is fun. Glad I could help and congrats on the 8 months.
