Alcohol self help thread II

jayne.doe

Hi guys my grandfather was an alcoholic, my sister has issues with drink alcoholic? i dunno. My uncle is a diabetic- he drank to huge excess and is nearly blind now. So i suppose there could be a genetic disposition towards alcoholism in my family. However do you not think we are all a bit like superman with his kyptonite - we all have weaknesses- I have a friend who eats ways too much chocolate, she s a chocoholic, morbidly obese. Another who is a shopoholic more cc`s than she has room for in her purse, gonna end in tears!!. I have another friend that is just bone idle, lazy to the point where it drives you mad but in the 7 years i have known him he has never changed. dunno just a thought.

I think its just because of the long winter nights.

Had something to eat, feeling a bit more human now. Only a bit though
Thanks Feelie, I hope you aren't going to go on other threads from now on, saying we all hate you
Tell me/us about your day so far, why are you giving up smoking tomorrow?

Good evening everybody else as well.

Soooo, because you did not have spiritual enlightenment, you had a problem with alcohol. Is that right?
And presumably, now you do have the spiritual help/belief, whatever it is, you don't have an alcohol problem? Or you do, but you can cope with it?

my o/h has been given a lovely bottle of white wine which is busy chilling in the freezer, i know because he has had to go out and i have put it there. I am going to have to watch him drink alone:( But i cannot give in and the reason is coz i know one is never enough, two no where near, and we will be out down the shop buying two more bottles or loads of cider but i still want it:) i just know the outcome:( wow thats positive thought for the day ,before wouldnt even give a !!!! about outcome:)

Hi jayne,

I'm fine, another thread annoyed me and I had to sign off or abuse someone for no real good reason. Another thread I've just read has cheered me up fickle? moi?

I'm doing good now, bad cravings for ciggies, but I'll just have to wait until they've past won't I?
How about you tonight/today?

Its sounding good baby!
If you were a "normal" having a bottle of wine between two people would be great, glad you are switched on enough to know you can't just do that though. Anyway its not a lovely bottle of white wine, its a bottle that would bring death and pain to you, maybe not to everyone, but to you it would.
Sorry to keep going on about the health thing, but you saw what that doctor said, "its not a nice quiet death either".

yeh i know beer, love the abuse on the other thread which one so i can read and have a chuckle hee hee. Sorry to hear you are feeling crap it must be hell to do both, i only smoked when i drank too much. Actually then thinking about it smoked a bloody lot:) I felt a lot better this morning and feel a bit stressed tonite but nothing to do with booze, just son!!!!! I have a bad headache again, but just thought on why, because i am not drinking enough water!!!:) I am having to learn to deal with my stress in others way ie by just coping, and not having a drink. Its new but i will learn.

Certain areas of the world have a tendency to alcoholism, Norway springs to mind. And the Hebrides, invaded by the Norwegians and where my family come from

It is caused by the long dark winters. Their government take advantage of them by taxing booze to the hilt!:eek:

Someone has already said that but it is a known fact

I drink more in the winter but not to excess. It makes it more bearable

I don't like drinking when it is sunny

i like drinking when its sunny, summertime, !!!!ing down with rain, hail snow, winter can always find an excuse.......:)
