Yep, after over 9 years of not drinking alcohol (my poison), I just swallowed a pill with what was left in a glass of vodka and melted ice!! Blehhhh. I had poured my hubby a drink earlier and put in too much vodka (yes, I bartended my way thru school) and I guess I didn't fully empty the small glass and left it right where I place a glass of water to take my pills with each day.
So is my streak up?? :) As if it reeeeally matters. I've had pill problems since then, but the booze is my real best-pal-slash-arch-rival. Wonder what my therapist would say.
Just for the record, it was straight NASTY. Downing psych meds with liquor. I've stooped to a new level. ;0)

I will be conscious of and aware of any temptation that may one day arise from being so close to alcohol. Something to keep in mind as I know many avoid it and some won't even have it in their home. My hubby is a very moderate, 1-2 drinks some nights, never been drunk, kinda drinker and I have no intention of "banning" it, lol...like THAT would fly!
But the pouring may someday become a trigger and I plan to be aware if it does! I'd be surprised, but stranger things have happened to this girl! Thanks again!
