Ok I have just read the "hiding alcohol" post and I have to admit that I am having a great big much needed laugh over this. Oh man the tampon box ? tee hee! Ok I have done the suitcase, under the kitchen sink, behind the washing machine, in my hair product kit ? what else. Oh one day I had fixed a pitcher of lemonade because the in-laws were coming over (so frightfully well-adjusted and normal? ugh). So I prepared the lemonade, then got myself a glass with ice, even a cute little lemon slice, and took that glass back to my bedroom and filled it with one of my hidden alcoholic lemonades. So suitably prepared, I go back out to the kitchen to finish cooking. So then my husband comes in with his mom and sister and before I could stop him he is drinking my lemonade ? oops. I?m offering to get him his own glass, but noooo ? he?s saying wow this lemonade is weird ? try this mom! And they are passing it around the room, everyone drinking my thoughtfully concealed spiked lemonade. Oh man. I could go on and on. Whoever made the comment about "closet drinking? There were no closets!" made me laugh right out loud.
I wish I had more time to talk but I have to leave work soon and don?t have a computer at home so will post more on Monday. I think you?re a great group. I am having a lot of trouble right now because it is Friday afternoon and my obsession over drinking beers is already creeping in. I tend to get really drunk one night, feel like crap and so ashamed of myself and almost can?t function trying to hide my hangover the next day. So then I vow not to drink. So then the next day I will struggle through sober and feel so proud of myself and go to bed early. Then I wake up the next day feeling great. With all that energy, what do I want to do? Well drink of course. It?s terrible. I don?t know what to do because I want to stop drinking, but then again part of me doesn?t. No offense because I am positive that it is a wonderful program that has saved so many people so I don?t want to criticise, but I get so tired of AA people because I feel as if they talk like robots sometimes. They all sound exactly the same and say exactly the same things. I need to talk to real people! Not just hear all these phrases "easy does it" and all that.
I wish I could say more but am out of time for now. I?ll post again Monday. Thanks everyone, you sound like just the kind of people I could have fun with while not drinking! Of course if you all actually knew me, I probably would not be nearly so candid so maybe it is better this way.
