Hi Blue, I answered your post under the "alcoholic husband" thread. I'd like to hear from you again.

Hi Gina, I responded. I hope you are well today!

Yes, I just now read your reply and I would like to keep talking to you. I have promised myself so many times that I wouldn't buy any beer on the way home... yeah right...and here I sit...working on my second. This does suck.

Yes, I ended up getting another case last night. Woke up this morning and it probably took me 10 mins to figure out what happened last night, did I eat dinner, what time did I go to bed, are the cats all in the house? I hate mornings like those.

Gina, I try never to count how many beers I drink, it depresses me. Maybe if I did, I would drink less. But somehow I doubt it. One time I tried stacking the cans on the counter for a visual sign, and even though it disgusts me, I didn't stop.

Girl... I so know what you mean. I generally buy it by the case and try to shop at different locations so I wouldn't be seen so often.

I have had more mornings than I care to mention wondering how I managed to wake up in my bed the next morning. What happened to so and so on the show that I was watching...etc. It messes up the mind. The worst is waking up and NEEDING that first drink to take the edge off only to discover that I had drank them all. It's quite a shock to realize how much I had the night before and wake up to not a drop.

All I can say is you are in good company and I want so bad for the both of us to kick this death wish.

Do you have Internet access at home? Get online and talk while you're drinking; don't worry about your writing or anything... it might even help you drink less.

I do have the internet at home, but my husband hates that I go on message boards, and he's always home. Maybe if he is busy one time I can but not for the most part. I agree, it would help because then I wouldn't just be sitting on the couch with a beer.
Thanks for your support, I can still write during the day if that's ok?

Darlin, any time that you can write... is always welcome... do know that.
I have a feeling that our schedules may not coincide; but don't worry, I promise to respond to you. Count on it.
