Went out again this weekend- I'm turning into quite the wild child. Lol. My housemate was rather shocked when I told her. I just went to hangout with a friend but it was something. We stocked up on junk food and liquor and binged watched shark movies on Syfy. It was simple, easy and fun and I didn't do anything dumb or regretful. Well, except having too much to drink but that regret only lasted an hour. I got home at 4:30 am proud to say I didn't do anything bad. Yaay me. I deserved that night off.
What fun thing have you done this weekend?

I think what we all know here is that we care about and want the best for each other. I have a friend who occasionally drinks when she takes her meds and nothing dangerous happened to her .. UNtiL this last time about a month ago. Her husband woke up to hear her gurgling, having seizures and trouble breathing. At the hospital, she was put in an induced coma, on a respirator and all kinds of tubes and machines. They brought her out of the coma after a few days as she started to stabilize and the seizures eased off. She was in hospital for about 10 days. You just never know. 5 times or A hundred times might be fine and then something goes wrong. Who knows why? No one. Just be safe everyone. Thanks for watching out for us Fish -- hugs to you

I have a difficult time with these kind of threads. I was never an alcoholic but I could drink any man under the table. Dance and party all night. Drink some more. I was unmedicated.

Several years ago when I became stable with the help of my meds, I realized I hadn't had a drink in a while. I started trying to remember the last time I had partaken of the jungle juice. I was shocked when I realized it had been over a year. Didn't miss it - Don't miss it - Feel great - Will Never go back. The thought of an alcoholic drink, just the thought of the smell of it makes me feel sick.

While I am not judging others because we all have to travel our own path, it is a bit of a trigger for me. Hard for me to give any unbiased advice. I will say, I hope you find stability and lose the desire to drink (something I hope for everyone). I hope it's as easy for you as it was for me.

Well, I went out with Hubby last night to celebrate a friends birthday. The beers were fine, The shots were what did me in. We got home alright, but at 3:00 i got up and fell all over the floor! I have scratches and bruises on my elbows, knees, and and think i cracked a rib. I sure am paying for my sin. I don't get out much. LOL
