it's been easy up till this point..

Some of you know this has not been the best 7 days of my life and I want to thank everyone who has lent me their ear, or spoken kind words to me over the last 7 days. Thank you, from the bottom of my soul.

I'm finally mad over what is going on though, and its really making me want to drink.

fuck. so much for it being easy.
Peace, Love.

    16 days is no small feat at all amigo
    Imagine a new moms 16th with an infant - 15 days ago she didn't really no beans about it - some just is just getting a clue - same for you
    16 without drinking now it is getting "difficult" hang in there - You owe it to yourself!!!
    Nothing good comes easy and the right way is always the long way
    yeah yeah cleche I know - but i know because i've been there
    When the child is 2 years old and the mom looks back on those first 16 days she will view them as easy - same for you - honestly, I promise
    Imagine the time between the Philly Shows and the bootleg release that is way more time than 16 days and you've made it through that

    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Hang on in there, if you've got this far with so much crap going on, you can do it a bit longer. One day at a time. :D

    Are you feeling any better for it?

    I'm having a month off drinking.....I'm at day 12 I think. Smoking a bit of weed at night sometimes though.

    I had the month of October off drinking last year and that was the longest I'd gone since I was probably 18 or so. Felt so good for it. I can drink waaaay too much for a girl my size. You kinda get to that point where you have 10 beers but not be drunk....not good.

    Good luck! :thumbup:

    Quit drinking a few times in my life with both kids of course and a couple times after a lampshade award but alas I have found drinking is very much a part of me- I enjoy wine really don't want to let that go. Its just a lovely creation. I have learned to consume in moderation well except for some Friday nites when I might get a little crazy 8-)

    it had just become way to big a part of my life. My father owned a bar all my life, and well..... I was allowed to drink starting at a very early age. I decided to quit just because of health reasons, lose the beer gut, and just got tired of it. my tolerence is outta this world, I can put it away. Come home from work, play some music or xbox and it was nothing for me to sit here and drink a 12 pack every night. Some nights more.
    With that came ..... problems at times.

    I just thought it was time to go it sober for at least a while.

    9 days into it the GF fell for some other guy and left. No worries, still didn't want to drink.

    Today, something about it all pissed me off, anger is a big trigger for me I guess.

    I just thought it would be harder at the start, and it has not been. Today is the first time that I have even wanted a beer. It's actually "on my mind" in a big way. The temptation that is.

    thanks to all.

    12 pack a day is a bit much.

    good luck.

    you need 8 glasses of water a day. But I think that's too much.
