Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I went shopping today. Alone. This is the first time in I don't know how many years because I'm a morning drinker and once I have that beer, that's it, I'm home for the day or only walk/swagger to where I'm going. Usually to get more beer...
So this was very special to me. I will most likely be starting a new job on Tuesday and I needed a few things. Not just want. I needed things. Everything I have is so frickin old. Except for gifts from my b/f. I took my time. Even tried on clothes. Something I rarely do but I decided to do everything right. I didn't want any shopper's remorse.
I left at 12:30 and came home at 5:30. I was putting away the clothes and noticed something was wrong with my screen. There was a HUGE hole cut out of it. Nice, clean cut. The hole wasn't quite finished. Nothing was stolen. It looks as though the perp was scared off.
I was shaking like a leaf. Now I gotta worry about if they come back while I'm at work. The perp gotta good view of my 42" HD and my laptop...
My tv was a very rare gift I afforded myself with a tax return. My computer was a purchase of necessity when I got laid off.
The best part of this story and I didn't even realize it until now: I had not one second of a thought of drinking.
Not one single inkling of a thought.
That is so amazing to me. So utterly amazing to me I can't even really put it to words.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
WHOO HOO!!!
( I knew I picked that handle for a moment like this )

(So ironic, isn't it, that, by necessity, something really upsetting has to happen to make us realize we've reached that point?) BIG HUGS!!!!!
When you go to work put the laptop in your car's trunk.
Can you get new locks?
