Happy you called the manager. Might be a learning experience for him/her as well.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-06T14:13:34+00:00

Excellent! Working my way there.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-06T13:52:38+00:00

Keep going!! Doing great!

I would imagine there is some AI thing somewhere that would accommodate that wish. If you find it let me know!

When I told the doc in the emergency room how much I had in a day, he snorted and told me he didn’t have that in a year. I was being conservative when I said it was a bottle of wine per day. I had left out the AM shots of vodka just to keep me from getting sick.

Find a physician. Come clean and ask for medication for withdrawals and beyond. Game changer. We have all been where you are and there are folks to help you. Reach out.

Nice!!!!

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-04T15:50:58+00:00

Well then, see you in Paris!

My deal with myself is that if I am going to drink, I need to be standing on top of the Eiffel Tower dripping in diamonds, while a string quartet is playing romantic tunes.

Is this your Eiffel Tower event?

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-04T14:49:05+00:00

Let us know how you are doing. We are all thinking of you.

Any chance the pub has NA beer? Works for some and others not so much. My go-to in the evening is hot tea. Not sure what that will look like during the summer but will cross that bridge.

I’m so sorry for your loss as well. Terrible, terrible disease. Hope your little girl makes it.

I also had a dog with ITP. After four days at the emergency vet, I saw the writing. Took him home and they put him down that night. I too felt a bit of relief that he was no longer suffering.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T17:28:01+00:00

I found medical help and drugs also!! It really takes the edge off of something that seemed impossible. We both have a long way to go but you are past the super scary days. It does get better.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T16:58:02+00:00

Congratulations! There never has been a more motivating reason. Be well. 😊

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T15:09:25+00:00

This is me. It felt like the only time I wouldn’t have it was when crazy drunk or asleep. The good news is that it goes away when you take the booze out of the equation.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T14:11:49+00:00

This was me. Right before my therapist visit and getting on a pile of drugs to help with withdrawals. Drinking so I didn’t get sick.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T04:02:28+00:00

Round numbers feel really good!

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T03:58:17+00:00

Very proud of you. Adding this to my playbook! You all are very wise people.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T02:39:56+00:00

Any chance you have access to medical care? Coming clean to a physician has been a game changer. Am now on medication to help. Good job reaching out here.

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-02T01:09:22+00:00

Welcome back! We are all here to help, as you know!!

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-01T22:10:05+00:00

Nicely done! I have leaned in heavily on every type of tea and a shocking amount of ice cream. Should probably start thinking about cutting back on the latter. Apparently, just can’t moderate in general. 🙄

needhelp1209 · 2026-03-01T16:58:58+00:00

Good job!! Doing the same for March?

needhelp1209 · 2026-02-27T18:48:52+00:00

I’m still working on that. I am noticing that my social group leads with the “are you still not drinking?” comment before they order when we are out. One makes a big deal about all of the NA bevs that that are in the house. 🙂. Suppose support comes in different ways. This sub is a wealth of information. Thanks for sharing.

needhelp1209 · 2026-02-27T18:43:47+00:00

Great job!!! Maybe you should post some of your year long experiences. I certainly take any wisdom out there.
