Alcoholism–a weird development…
I spent the entire weekend drunk. Okay, so did most of my friends, but something different happened that I now realize is a major breakthrough!
I have been able to control the extent to which I get drunk. I have this new internal trigger that slows down my drinking or puts me on auto-pilot straight to home if it appears that things are going to get out of control! For example, Saturday night @ Spinach Dip’s house, I got tipsy/drunk but wasn’t smacking people (who didn’t want to be smacked) and remember EVERYTHING that happened; then, when people suggested going to the Black Cat for Mousetrap, I jumped in a cab and went home to bed like a good girl! Another example: Sunday afternoon: Brad, Howard, Michael Raye, and Jen and I have mimosas at Food Bar-f, drinks at Fox and Hounds where I get drunk off of their mega-drinks, and then several of us go to Jr’s. I can’t even finish the first drink I get without deciding it was time to run-away! I remember all of it, and remember making a conscientious effort to leave before I got too wasted.
It’s the weirdest thing. I may have been drunk this entire weekend, but I wasn’t overboard, wasn’t throwing up, wasn’t doing things I ought not to have been doing… I was completely tame. I was a lazy drunk, just sitting around or chatty… no running around or making out or getting into fights. Not to say that I have beat this thing or anything (seeing as how I wasted an entire weekend drinking).
Aren’t you proud?
Oh yeah, and as always, I made these great new friends:
and Tos

Restraint is a good thing…but only on work nights.

Somehow, sweetie, I don’t think this qualifies as a breakthrough….however, you did make a “conscious” effort to stop. Baby steps are better than, say…falling on your face and breaking your nose! Good luck! Um…keep up the good work?
