Oh, I forgot to tell everyone my liquor store story.
So, I dropped my daughter off at a restaurant that she wanted to apply at. I went to the liquor store where they sell my 3 Olive Pom vodka. While I was there, she came into the liquor store to get me. I go to checkout and pay and they guy asks for my ID. I give him the ID and tell me that I am 45 (like really??? It's a Monday afternoon) . He says, "OH WOW, is that your daughter?" He thought that we were friends. Moral of the story: I need to hang out with her more :laugh:
Kim, I don't doubt it.....I assume that is the two of you in your pic.....definitely look super hot and young for your age xoxo0 -
Friday= 2 vodka soda, 2 beers

JustDot - so sorry to hear of your loss!
Blew it out this weekend - it was my Birthday - so Birthday over and trying to be good all week! I got 5 bottles of wine on Saturday, oh my! But I drank half a bottle of 1800 Margaritas and half a bottle of Tequila Rose Strawberry Cream...YUMMY!0 -
Dot-So sorry about your Grandma
Lots-o-drinking Friday night. Zero on Sat cuz I was so hung over. :huh:
0- Last night as well.
The husband is skiing in Park City all week. While it would be nice to join him for a vacay..the idea of being able to cook/plan meals just for myself, or perhaps just drink my meals...absolutely thrills me. I don't think I'm supposed to be this excited when my partner goes away for a week. :ohwell:
Hope everyone else has a good week as well. Oh, and where the hell did January go?0 -

Krisco....well, it was your birthday, right? It's expected.
SoCal...sounds perfect to me!
So, I have to crack open a dark beer to use with my recipe tonight and I'm thinking, what should I do with the rest? :blushing: Yep, log it.0 -

Kate, I forgot to drink the 1/2 bottle of beer left after making the pattymelt gravy. I feel ashamed. :blushing: What kind of lush have I become?
Yes, an empty house of liquor does help in the sobriety department.0 -

holding lushily steady with vodka rocks last night.
Kim you should be soundly whipped for the blatant alcohol abuse. :laugh:
I am not sure what it would be like to not have any alcohol in the house. That would just be so strange.0 -

We have PLENTY of hard stuff in the house ALWAYS...that would be weird!!!! Luckily I can stay away from it until thursday or friday!0 -
I just drank for no reason last night, had two beers and they were good. I am done being good, it got me no where. I was on 8 weeks of the Jamie Eason livefit trainer, working out 6 days a week, eating well and limiting alcohol and I just looked at my before and after pics and there is no difference. I will keep working out til Mexico Feb. 18 but only 5 days per week and drinking whenever I feel like it...0

I really hate to hear stories like this, but I can understand your frustration.0 -
Had some cinnamon whiskey and a few hours after, yesterday.
Probably won't be having any tonight but we'll see. Not sure if holding off on the booze during the week had had anything to do with the scale going down so much as just reducing calories but I'd like to keep the scale going in the downwards direction. On that note, I should go work out, it's my "rest" week so it's just a week of cardio this week, next week starts month 2!0 -
Logged in my hour on the bike and I'm not hungry for any dinner so I'm having a glass of red. Didn't measure but also didn't fill the glass, there was about a glass and a half left in a bottle my friend gave me for Christmas. Thinking I'll do a double bike ride tomorrow after missing yesterday.
On a mental health note, I think I'm going to start talking to a shrink. I've got a really hard time talking to friends and family without feeling like a huge burden. So my solution is to just keep it all inside and ooof course, at certain times I definitely attempt to just drink and forget it all which lands me falling asleep in the bathroom or doing stupid things that a 26 year old shouldn't be doing. Have to admit that it makes me feel a little weak admitting that I need to talk to someone but I do think it'll help and I'm hoping it'll be easier talking to someone who isn't a friend or family member. I think this will also help with the times that I'm feeling down and end up drinking too much because it's definitely not a situation where I feel I NEED alcohol and each time I have drinks it's different. Sometimes I'm fine just having a few glasses or having a bottle or 2 with the boyfriend and remembering everything about the night and having a really good time and then there are the times I drink too much and think about crap and then just go "oh well" and continue drinking to the point where I don't remember things and yada yada yada. My friend got the name of someone so we'll see what happens!
End of online therapy session, my apologies. Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday =]0 -
I'm drinking wine out of a pint glass. I still need to pack for the funeral and I have to make the 45 minute drive to my parents' house at some point. I probably shouldn't refill the glass.
I love 3 Olives Pom, and it's damn near impossible to find. I'm going to be hanging out with family this weekend, so I'll probably be drinking a *kitten* ton.0 -
Kat, it's a wise decision to talk to a neutral party...honest feedback, no judgement, strategies, etc.
Amy, you bet it's hard to find...that's why I bought 2 bottles :bigsmile: best of luck for tomorrow

New here and really thankful for this group. I love beer, whiskey, and I am developing a taste for wine. I know I am more than likely a borderline alcoholic, so I am trying to be careful about my consumption. Saturday was horrible for me. I had a friend's birthday party that started at 2:00 and went until about midnight. I'm guessing I had around 10 to 12 beers that day. I normally wake up with a horrible hang over, but I felt halfway normal on Sunday. Could be the exercise helping out.
I had nothing on Sunday or Monday, but damn trivia night came around and I had 3 beers there. I am staying under my calorie goals, but I am pretty sure calories from beer shouldn't make up 15% of my daily caloric intake. Oh well, tomorrow's another day and there are no plans for drinking. I think I will be able to hold off until Bill Maher comes on again Friday night.0 -
Another successful night last night.....I wasn't gonna go to the liquor store until tomorrow night BUT I have some baking to do for Momma's bday on friday night and if I don't do it tonight I will be stressing tomorrow night trying to get everything done. I will buy the wine but I will not open it....famous last words 0
