Marshy - LOL on the Booze + Matches (I assume those might be free near the cash register as they often are here in the US?? or used to be anyway??) = shopping.
Boy when I look back on some of the crazy crap I did to make sure I could drink - well - it's so pathetic I HAVE to laugh otherwise I would cry. Onward and forward!! Oh - I added that book to my list I'm keeping....
Mame - well, you already know I can relate to the "any excuse will do" method of justifying booze shopping. I've never heard of "wop wops" but I'm wondering if that term is like "boonies" in the US. A place that is in the middle of nowhere - far away from town / stores / etc. At any rate, it's good that you are planning NOW for the AFness and HFness (yay!) of the excursion. And I love your thinking - considering the "green" aspect more than the potential drinking aspect of that 40 mile trip!!!!!! We are making progress!!!
WIP I just put 2 and 2 together. So long as neither of us caves - and I sure don't plan to and I know you don't either - we will be forever connected with a monthly anniversary on the 22nd of each month. Life DOES suck some days, doesn't it!!
hee hee. I'm not REALLY stalking you. REALLY I'm not!
Resolute, I LOVE your post!! The tone of this one sounds like a person determined to succeed at this. I'm ALL FOR using every tool available to get quit. So congratulations on deciding to use Antabuse to help you, and for being honest about what dose might be required given your previous experience. You came here instead of drink. This is GOOD STUFF. Do it FOR YOU.
I attended a SMART chat meeting on-line this morning and a good reminder came up.
Think about how much time and effort you put into drinking (acquiring booze, planning when/where to drink, working at hiding how drunk you really are, etc. etc.). Put AT LEAST that much time and effort into quitting drinking if you want to succeed.
That just makes complete sense to me.
Hello to all Booze Busters yet to come!!!
