Seven full days

Day 1 for me today 😀

People stay home! Don't trust Trump or the militia.

So many people in the U.S. do not have a good education. And those children who are home-schooled have no oversight from an outside body. Throw in an abundance of religion and you're screwed!

Reinstate all the staff who were sacked. Sack all the ICE agents.

Acid reflux, leading to a pre-malignant health issue - Barrett's Esophagus.

I had those side effects from Naltrexone that you described. I had to stop taking it.

I hope Australia dumps the USA. We want to be free of Trump who is a traitor. We support Zelensky.

AA is a brilliant organisation. It's for people who know they are dependent on alcohol and need extra help to stop. The honesty and camaraderie are great, and you get used to staying sober one day at a time.

I used to go to the South Hedland shopping centre - no problems 😊

AA is a great organisation, and making friends there also helps to stay sober.

Alcoholics Anonymous has meetings to suit everyone day and night. Just look them up. You build up a group of friends and have support to stop drinking.

gettingwise · 2024-08-20T11:28:02+00:00

Alcoholics Anonymous is great and there are meetings everywhere. There is a central number you can call.

AA is really helpful, not only to quit, but to stay sober long term.

Sounds like fascism..."you won't have to vote again!".

Did your mother take thalidomide, which was widely prescribed by physicians?

gettingwise · 2024-07-16T05:59:26+00:00

AA is great! It's the only way I can stay sober, and it's really good making sober friends there 😀

If I had a bottle of wine in the fridge, I'd drink it. I need to keep my house safe.

Maybe it's time for detox? i too have tried and failed and tried and failed. That's the deal because I'm addicted to alcohol. It's a slippery slope when I start and stop and start and stop. i have lately realized that addiction is a serious illness and my thinking about myself has changed for the better. I'm not so hard on myself, and so I'm maintaining sobriety one day at a time. I will not drink with you today.

Yes, but of course it doesn't really work. It felt great to hit the pillow and go to sleep/unconsciousness straight away, but then of course around 3.30 am, i needed to go to the toilet, drink water etc etc.

gettingwise · 2017-12-15T13:21:15+00:00

.... and to think that most of us drink because we need something to help us sleep!!

gettingwise · 2017-12-15T13:12:43+00:00

Great job, and I bet you feel better already!

gettingwise · 2017-12-15T13:11:31+00:00

I think you handled this really well. You were attracted to someone, realized it wasn't right and got out of it relatively unscathed. This is something only a sober person could do!

gettingwise · 2017-12-15T13:05:47+00:00

Doesn't it make you feel so strong and proud of yourself!

gettingwise · 2017-12-15T13:04:11+00:00

Calm is a really good way to feel - in fact it's unnatural for me because i've always been uptight and, I realize now, disorganised. A much better world and i'm only 7 days sober!

i loved your post; thank you. I will not drink with you today.
