I called Carolyn and asked her if she wanted to go to dinner on friday night. And she said yes. ( I have to find other activities to do that don't include drinking). She is a licensed florist and just got a job at the fresh market working 3 days a week.

I thought about it then I called her back and asked her if she would like to go to planet fitness with me(I have the up graded membership to bring a friend for free).
We could walk on the tred mill and then go grab a quick dinner somewhere. She said yes.
Something to do on a friday night....not trivia in their bar!
yeah!

Am taking a much needed shower this morning and washing my hair. Bizi's new 2019 thread
Got up at 7am and have checked into the forums, now here.
Weighed 183.1 this morning. I have been snacking after dinner.
We went to Jason's deli for dinner last night.
I had this breakfast sandwich called a sammy.
egg/cheese/ham/mayo toasted on a small bread like thing flat and smooth and round.
I put a spicy olive pepper mixture on the sandwich and it was delicious!
ate 1 small ginger bread muffin and a small ice cream cone. No wonder I am not losing weight. Bizi's new 2019 thread
I need to be more disciplined.
Jeff and I are watching LOST again for the umpteen time. love it!
I have been drinking hot tea at night while watching and I microwave a bean like pillow for my back ache which seems to be better. Thank goodness as my requires alot of kneeling and getting up and down, bending over etc.
Today makes 10 days AF(this time around).
Tonight is AA. I will ask for a sponsor. Bizi's new 2019 thread
I will print out the Women for sobriety statements and go over them with her once I meet up with her. I will ask for a female, hopefully there will be one.
The place was packed over 100 people there, surly there will be a female sponsor available.
It meets at 8pm.
Onto my 3rd cup of coffee....need to hop into the shower!
Hate getting in there, but then I like the hot water until it runs out. So frustrating.
have a great day yall. Bizi's new 2019 thread
(((((HUGS))))) to those who need them....

After talking with the sponsor we decided that I was not an alcoholic.
So I am not going to go to AA meetings nor meet with her again.
She was a very lovely lady and I wished her the best.

You don't have to be an alcoholic to attend AA meetings, or even work the steps, or have a sponsor. I once had a problem with alcohol during my divorce. I went to AA for 18 months every Friday for support throughout my divorce, and to not drink. I had a problem with alcohol and needed the support of AA but I never did anything but show up. I also was the "coffee person" a lot, and I made cakes for those who celebrated sobriety dates of 3 months, 6 months, and a year.

It worked well for me, and I eventually felt I didn't need meetings, and I was sober for ten years - no problem. I didn't label myself an alcoholic because I didn't feel the need. I just wanted to not drink. That was my objective. And for ten years I was quite happy with that and never labeled myself alcoholic.

After ten years I decided to try social drinking. After ten years that first beer was...very nice. But my relationship to drinking had changed. I wasn't as into it at all.


I found that when I am in a stressful place in my life I can't drink because I tend to over-drink. If I am in a balanced place I find it easy to drink socially. But I just made it a rule to not drink when stressed and eventually I lost all desire to drink. I would rather eat my calories than drink them. I also established a very clean diet and alcohol didn't fit in with it.


Now I don't drink at all. I have pretty strong opinions now about alcohol and don't think it is good for anyone, even in moderation. It is unnecessary and can be problematic.

If I may make a suggestion...work hard at self care and maybe the desire to drink will abate. Avoid triggers.


Most of all - and this is just my opinion - get rid of labels. Whether or not you are an alcoholic is moot. You simply don't want to drink. It is like any other habit...you either give it power...or you don't.

I found out the hard way that a lot of people in AA lie about their sobriety. So you can't count on others, really.

If alcohol is not enhancing your life...just eliminate it. I am certain you can do it because you seem like a very strong-willed person.

I have to eliminate certain foods because they are addictive. Mostly processed carbs. I just consider alcohol in the same category. It plays havoc with blood sugar levels.


Although I attended AA I have come to believe that addiction is not something one is powerless over. It is for a reason we became addicted...to manage emotional pain, mostly. So yeah, if you have emotional pain, it is difficult, often, to stay sober, but not impossible.

I no longer break down and drink when stressed. Alcohol just isn't on my radar and I love being sober because it gives me a sense of efficacy and control.


Good luck. This is just my opinion. Once you "break the back" of an addiction (by repeatedly refraining from the substance) it won't have the same power.


Don't give away your power, Bizi. You can do this. Just believe you can, do it, and of course don't be too hard on yourself in other areas (like dieting) at this time.

Dechandawa,
Thank you for your nice and kind and lengthy post to me this morning.
I really appreciate your wisdom and sharing your story.
There are other reasons for not attending AA meetings of any kind that I won't go into here.
I hope you have a wonderful sober life!!!!

I shared my story but really I wasn't that great an AA'er! Because like I said I didn't really follow the program. I found the religious aspect of AA to be...really...the deal breaker. Because everyone says AA is not religious...but heck, what do you call holding hands and praying at EVERY MEETING? I think in the end it was that hypocrisy that caused me to leave AA.

What I believe is people can quit drinking and don't need to label themselves as alcoholic. I went to a local detox center and took a written test that categorized me as a problem drinker, so that's when I went to AA. I never once labeled myself an alcoholic..because I did not like the "illness" model. I preferred a more holistic approach.


I tried a couple other sobriety groups, too.

I think the key to breaking addictions is every time you have the craving...do something else...and eventually the addiction weakens. I think it is that simple.

I am still dieting and it's hard and alcohol would completely wreck my attempts. It just took me two weeks to lose one pound! But I am going in the right direction.

Bizi, just set your mind in the right direction and go that way...you can do it!!!

I don't think of myself as "sober for life," -- and maybe in the future I will drink socially. The key is that now I don't drink when stressed or working out serious life problems.


However, now there are reports out that even in moderation alcohol is potentially harmful. So maybe I will be forever sober. I don't know. For now it's great.

The woman from NAMI carolyn, canceled on me. Last night, we were going to go to the gym and walk on the tred mill and have a lite dinner afterward, but she backed out.
So going with jeff was my option at the time. I should have just went to the gym by myself.
My resolve to not drink went out the window!
My tool box is empty.
sigh

I wish I had more friends.
I am going to go to church tomorrow and maybe see an old friend, maybe I can mingle with her or someone else there. It is a Unitarian fellow ship.
My only real friend here has asked us to go hiking tomorrow. We usually drink with them but they are dieting right now so maybe we would just hike and that be all we would do with them...

Tell them. Don't leave it to chance. Connect it to the dieting if you must (though really, you should have as much say regardless). Who knows? Maybe they will be relieved, especially as they are dieting too.

I am not doing AA. I can't agree to their steps at all.
After breakfast this morning at the diner as usual :
I went to the UU Unitarian universalist fellowship downtown.
I like it.
This will be on a somewhat regular basis now.
If I can get up earlier than usual on a sunday.
like 8;30 and leave at 930 for breakfast and drive
separately then I can get there some time between
10;30 for social-11am for service.
I spoke with Mary. I had dinner with her one night with susan.
This was before susan stopped being my friend. Bizi's new 2019 thread
Last week I texted her that I was going to AA. she was happy about that.
So maybe we can be friends again.
Alcohol was a big factor with her husband. He drinks alot.
They have been divorced for some time now.
Susan goes to the fellowship if I did not make that clear.
So I don't know how that will pan out.
She had a music gig out of town and that is why she was not there today.

I am cooking brussel sprouts and sausage in the oven for dinner tonight.
Have never done this before so hope it turns out.

Am doing my scrubs/laundry they are drying.
Visited a friend who had major surgery,
brought her flowers and talked for an hour or so.
It was good to see her.
She was in bed recuperating.
It was sunny out today the weather was nice enough to just wear a sweater.
I heard from my family in northern IN.
The temps on wednesday high of -12 and a low of -30.
scarey stuff. yes those are minus numbers NOT wind chill!
I hope every one has had a nice weekend.

1. I have a life-threatening problem that once had me.
I now take charge of my life and my well-being. I accept the responsibility.
Alcohol is no longer running my life. I have always taken responsibility.

and yes alcohol can be toxic, and dangerous. I won't be drinking. As I see it there are too many risks involved. And I have seen in the past that I can't moderate.
For me, abstinence is really the way to healing my brain....

I fell on a curb before my dentist appointment this morning. my left side is banged up but not bruising so that is good. It hurts to breath in deeply.
I canceled my last appointment because it bothered me too much for my last 2 appointments. I have billing to do, am behind on that.
I put some magnesium lotion on it. I have some CBD cream I can put on later. I think my underwire bra contributed to the hurting.
