Thanks Bri, I need all the help I can get... It was supposed to get fucking easier at least in my head I thought that. Good work girl.

So the doc told me not to drink for 6 weeks, which wouldn't have been a problem if he hadn't told me I couldn't. Nothing makes me want to do something more, than being told I can't. Even if I didn't want to in the first place.

So now I'm officially not drinking. Even after six weeks is up, I get the feeling that that won't be the end of it either.

That is some scary shit bro and I know that guy who wants to do mostly what people tell him not to.

Sober weirdness. I'm getting better at it but its still clumsy. We put a roof on my brother's house yesterday. Traditionally we'd all get tanked after so I just eased out after dinner, leaving the boozing to those qualified to handle it.

Trilby · 05-30-2010, 09:56 AM

good for you, Griff.

it's always better to wake up sober. Always.

Griff · 05-30-2010, 10:12 AM

Yeah, if I can focus on how I'll feel the next day, I'm golden.

Nice non-alcoholic beer I found called Kaliber by Guiness. Delish!

On the non-drinking wagon 7 years, 1 year of non-smoking now too.

Rhianne · 05-30-2010, 03:17 PM

I was pleased with my efforts but after reading through this thread now feel quite pathetic in comparison to some folk here. In a couple of weeks time, on June 13th, it will be exactly a year since my last drink.

SamIam · 05-30-2010, 03:24 PM

Yay, Rhianne! Keep up the good work Squirrel and Griff and everyone else. I got my 1 year chip on May 10th. I hope I never ever again touch another drop.

Rhianne · 05-30-2010, 03:33 PM

Thank you Sam. On a separate but related (and more girly) note, I only press the bathroom scales down three-quarters as far as I did then too.

That's due to Global Decrease in the Gravitational Constant (which will need to be addressed after Global Climate Change is sorted out).

Can I get some of that over here, please?
And well done all you wagonners - keep it up, I'm cheering for you all!

classicman · 05-30-2010, 04:25 PM

Great job all! Keep up the good work.

HungLikeJesus · 05-30-2010, 07:16 PM

Yes, thanks to all wagoners - you're helping to keep prices down.

Griff · 05-31-2010, 06:58 AM

I worry that I'm causing unemployment in Scotland.

Well done Rhianne. Everyone has their own row to hoe, comparing success across different lives doesn't seem useful.

I used to smoke when I was a teenager between 12 and 16. Up to 2 packets/day of "Gauloises" (French brand, brown tobacco, no filter) by the end.

Then I began to think that my time doing laps in the pool sucked. So I stopped drastically. No cigs at all. And I got better.

On the evening of my 20th birthday, I was wishing for a smoke. And I thought : To hell with that, I'll be twenty only once, go for a cigar.

I cannot say that I'm addicted to cigar, but I indulge once in a while (8 or 10 times a year) and they're big (Churchill size).

As for the booze, I had a few episodes as a youth where I went on a binge session. Now, I'm out of that. I still indulge, but I drink a lot less and a lot more better. From Jhonn y Walker Red (2 bottles/night every week end) to Balvenie Cuban Wood, my current favorite (half a glass every 2 or 3 weeks).

On the drug front, never did it. And I never had that desire. Unless you consider girls as a drug

alcohol takes another one: ted koppel's son, Andrew.
