sorry to post like crazy today. i'm feeling an urge to drink at the moment and my husband is napping - i figured posting is a good thing to do. it's silly where the urge came from - we had snow today, and a friend on facebook made a comment about how she's snowed in and has 4 bottles of wine and snack food and is having a movie marathon with a ( Read more... )

I am glad you came and posted something instead of drinking : )

I LOVE this post. For many reasons. Almost every word you said in here is something that has gone through my head or something I have talked about. I started to copy a section and was going to paste it in this reply and talk about it, till I realized I was going to end up copying the same thing. I think this post is going to do a lot for you. It makes you see A LOT. I made a list of my drinking habits and I look at it often. It really makes me realize a lot.

The part that reminded me the most about myself was "what do I enjoy about my addiction?". I'm telling you, its word for word for me. I hope that by you writing this, for your sake, really helps
you.

Good luck with the SMART! : )

me too! it was tough there for a bit. couldn't get my mind off of it! being snowed-in and sober is a tricky one...

i'm glad you could relate to it! i do plan on coming back to this post fairly often - and even redoing the questions every so often, as time goes on and things get clearer and clearer. i hope i find more useful tools on the smart site. <3

Wonderful post, so much I recognize.
And I'm a firm believer in the power of listmaking. ;)

yeah, you and my husband! maybe some of his listmaking will rub off on me. it's not my strong point, but i think it could be really helpful.

I'm so glad you posted this instead of drinking, too!

And the excerpt from the book that you posted earlier totally made me cry. BINGO! Yeah, that was it, exactly, especially the beginning.

yeah me too! and i'm sorry it made you cry!! but it's so dead on; when i read it, i just thought - wow. i have to share this.

I'm learning to see that crying is a good thing. No worries. :)
