AA book should help get it and read the steps

**minet123** · 11-28-10, 11:03 AM

Step one is admitting that you are powerless over your addiction and your life has become unmanageable
I know
WTF does that mean
well how many people are managing your life for you because of your drinking i.e. shrinks,parole officers,family,girlfriends,etc etc

ROFL

stay the course chief! only withdrawal will kill you. Or liver damage but we don't need to think about that.

I saw a BIG positive here in that you, in your stooper, had the foresight to put the opener under the pillow so it couldn't hurt you.

Whose wine bottle was in the trash?

I am praying it was Rodney's. At least you didn't wake up with him spooning you - you would have to draw the line there.

Also,
I agree with Steve

Having a compulsive gambler calling you about his addiction can lead you to alcoholism. Especially when he is doing it to increase the post count in a thread.

Here's the deal, seriously though, I have never drank while working or anything, just after work will have 2 or 3 beers usually. Then on the weekends it's whatever. Sometimes start early other times wait till later but always get a good buzz going when I can. No DUI's or anything like that, just a personal observation that maybe I need to cut back.

A Bloody Mary sounds pretty good though right about now.

I went to a wedding yesterday. First beer at 1pm and last beer at 1am averaged 2-3 an hour, is that a bad thing?

Who drinks beers at weddings? Sounds pretty white trash to me.

No is not bad. What worries me is that you recovered already at 8 am in the morning and are already posting coherent sentences.

I think getting sloshed at a wedding is pretty normal. If you drink that way all the time, then maybe there's a problem. I want a bloody mary right NOW!

We stopped and had a few before it started, was probably a 2 hour stretch no beers were drank during the wedding. But the avg of 2-3 per hour from 1pm to 1 am is 100% accurate.

My doc told me as a very general rule anything over 14 drinks per week is too much.

Also, any single day of drinking several drinks is too much. I was surprised to learn binge drinking is considered to be only 5 or more drinks in a row. I don't drink that often, maybe once every 10 to 14 days, but when I do I sure as hell drink more than 5 drinks. So according to medical opinion, I binge drink about twice a month!

From what I've read, being an alcoholic is less about how much someone drinks and more about the effect drinking has on the person's life. No matter the amount of drinks someone consumes, if it regularly causes problems in other areas of life (work, relationships, health, etc) then the person might be an alcoholic.

My advice to the original poster is to set an appointment with his doctor, who will of course tell him to not drink so much and probably set a follow up appointment or refer him to a counselor or other resources.

lol, a doctor asked me once how many beers I drank a week, I lied and said a 12 pack, he goes "oh no, that's way too much". I drink too much and eat a lot of garbage foods, but am lucky enough to not be out of shape and overweight. I'm sure a doctor would say differently though.

I texted Brock about his good showing in the contest yesterday, but I think he is upset that I showed you guys his Bama ML play. I wouldn't count on hearing it from me.

Feel like going to the store, will be hard to make it through 2 days.

If your truly an alcoholic a seat has already been saved for you

Cougar Bait: Maybe being friends with Brock Landers has driven you to drink.You're always covering up for his fukups. I'm sure that he trys to suck you in with the free pizza delivery but--cut him loose

Brock doesn't even text me anymore, he is angry I gave you guys his Bama ML play. No matter, time to drink more.

**Cougar Bait** · 11-28-10, 02:55 PM

Not shakin anymore, straight as a fukkin arrow.

**will2survive** · 11-28-10, 03:24 PM

Hes not a real friend if he kicks you when you're unstable with your drinking.I'm not a drinker but my dad died a drug addict.Fix this before your liver goes bad and the cancer transfers to all vital organs.Go to a AA meeting and don't care what other people think.What if you're drinking and driving?You can kill someone or yourself.You can end up in jail....you have time to fix your problem...jmo

**Cougar Bait** · 11-28-10, 03:26 PM

Will I have never had a DUI

Going ballistic today though, that one day off of drinking really set me off

I am going down HARD if Bears lose

**will2survive** · 11-28-10, 03:35 PM

It's just a game.If the Bears lose,big deal.You lose money.You said that you have an aviation related job.Forget about what you lost and make the money back with your job.It's not worth having two addictions,one in which you control a piece of machinery and can hurt someone inadvertantly.All's it takes is one mistake or all's it takes is one more drink and you're getting in deeper with addiction and people's safety.(and your own)

**Cougar Bait** · 11-28-10, 03:58 PM
