1 or 2 too many drinks last night with the fiancé left me with a tiny hangover this morning but not an all day one. I'm thinking pad Thai for lunch but we will see what the other half wants.
Happy Sunday all

Well hmmmph. I have eased up considerably on the drinking since I've been back and REALLY stepped up the exercise routine. Yes..I've had more food than usual..but overall it's been healthy stuff.
And I've gained 2 pounds. :grumble:
I may have to go back on the road...drink like a fish, eat innout burgers and stop exercising. That seemed to work better for me.0 -
Friday-1 vodka and citrus crystal light, 1 shot of bourbon, and 1 BIG glass of wine
Saturday-probably about 1 1/2 bottles of wine, in total....some white, some rose and some red.
Sunday-2 1/2 beers
Monday-not sure, I don't feel like crap from the weekend so might have some wine...we'll see!!!
Monday again and of course, as usual, I am looking forward to the weekend. Hoping to take friday off to go down the shore in the morning, let's hope things stay quiet at work!!!0 -
It was a moderate weekend. Watched a lot of Olympics and worked on the dog house and did some cleaning. I had vodka with watermelon and a couple of shock tops but not a ton. I ate really salt laden food (brats for dinner and biscuits and gravy for breakfast) so the scale was up this morning. I will drink a ton of water today and we shall see how it goes. DH is talking about possibly giving up alcohol altogether. I am not sure how I feel about that. I realize we both have a slight problem but I am not ready to give it up. I don't think he really is either but he is thinking about it.
Have a great day lushes!0 -

Robin, I think it would be very hard to give it up completely. Doesn't he realize that you are Mama Lush? What would we do without you?
SoCal...yes, drinking and eating out just might be the answer...I'll give it a try0 -
Wine last night, a bottle or so paced throughout the night while stuffing wedding invitations Ate more than I have been this weekend thanks to the fiancé so I'm feeling a bit gross. Started the day with a tropical shakeology made with almond coconut milk and am now having a coffee. I'll be feeling back to normal by the end of the day
This is the bad week for the fiancé at work so it'll be lushy for me but I've come to the conclusion I do not want to go back to overdoing it again. I've really liked being able to enjoy drinks without going crazy and then having a hangover and or not remembering things.
Here's to another week :drinker:0 -

Sun - 3 beers0

Friday=1 beer
Saturday=3 beers and 2 white russians
Sunday=1 big beer, 3 bottles and a vanilla vodka and coke
Not sure how this week will shake out.
I would have a hard time not drinking. I had a friend suggest this is why I don't have kids, that I couldn't quit drinking for 9 months! ha, well, that is the least of it, but... I also saw where being an alcoholic isn't about how much you drink it's more about the reasons and the impact on your life. I watch Intervention, they aren't intervening on people who sustain gainful employment and healthy relationships.0 -
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu(k.
I've been lushy. Like, so lushy, I can't remember how lushy I've been.
Hit a dueling piano bar with the neighborhood on Saturday night and was introduced to a "Vegas Bomb" which is a shot with whiskey, peach schnapps, and red bull. Sounds gross, tastes delish.0 -

thanks, I needed to hear that. That is kind of what I always thought myself but you start to question when you drink as much as I do.0 -

I definitely think it's more about the reasons you drink but I also know that I do not like myself at all when I drink way too much despite not being in a bad mood or being depressed about something. It's why recently I've made it a point to listen to myself and ask do I really want another drink and even though I had over a bottle of wine last night it was paced and I remember everything and didn't have a hangover this morning and felt good about my Sunday. Whereas not too long ago I would drink my drinks too quickly and just keep on going and then not remember things and have a bad hangover the next day. My best friends dad who was also like a father to me was an alcoholic, a "functioning" one but still an alcoholic. It was like he needed alcohol to make it through the day, but he was always amazing with us. He ended up drinking so much one night he died. I think if my fiancé wanted to stop all together and wanted me to stop with him that I could but I also think if I continue to show him that I can have drinks with him or what have you and not go overboard and get ridiculous that it's not going to be a problem again because I know he worried when I was really stressed/depressed and just drank so much that I did stupid things and I don't want our relationship to be like that.
With all that said, so far my new way of thinking and drinking is still going and I plan on it going forever. I'm sure there will be times such as Saturday when I get caught up in the fun of hanging out and drink a drink or two too many but I do not want to go back to the way I was and so I'm on my second glass of wine but have only had a sip and it's been sitting on the table for who knows how long.
Even though I'm feeling better I still think it would be a good idea for me to talk to someone (professionally) because yes talking to my best friend works buuuuut she's been drinking a lot too so we kind of just say "eh whatever" Speaking of her, we're getting together tomorrow and the past couple times I've gone out with her I've had too much to drink and usually don't remember her dropping me off so tomorrow will be the first test of my new drinking habits.
Sorry for the novel, done now :indifferent:0 -
Kat, well stated...
Amy, I watch intervention as well and see a lot of it in the hospital. It's pretty sad when you see people like that. I don't know what the trigger is and I can never really offer families hope. It's a battle that most alcoholics don't win and they come back time and time again.
Monday, 3 Sam Adams and I couldn't even finish the last one.
Tonight is the casino and we will see what wins, gambling or drinking. I try not to mix the 2. Otherwise, I think peeps make stupid mistakes when they gamble. Which I've done myself and seen others do.
So, I will pick Friday as my final indulgence night since it will be wine tasting night.
That's the plan that I hope to stick to.
Monday, 3
Tuesday, 8 (I'll get there around 3 and who know when I'll go up to bed)
Wednesday, 0
Thursday, 0
Friday, 6
Saturday, 0
Sunday, 0
Total: 17....oh boy, that's still way too high!!0 -
Had a glass of wine last night and probably will tonight (and the rest of the week for that matter) since my husband is working overtime :drinker:0

Wine last night, got in bed earlyish and put in A Nightmare Before Christmas
Got up this morning, finished stuffing invitations and putting postage on them and they're finally ready to mail!
Got a good bike ride in and now waiting for the best friend so we can mail the invites and then go to lunch
Have a great day all :drinker:0 -
I'm in a funk. I'm not really sure why..the summer is going by way too fast and my son leaving for college has something to do with it, I'm sure. :frown:
0 last night.
I dunno what I'll do tonight. I say 0 now but I'm going to swim today and I usually come back ravenous and ready for a cocktail.0 -
one 2 oz vodka rocks. That was it. trying really hard to be aware. I am going to try that again tonight.0

Kat - very well stated - I agree that the reasons for drinking is absolutely at the heart of drinking...before I got my new job I was drinking waaaaaaay too much for ALL the wrong reasons - I hated my old job, it stressed me out and did I mention that I hated the job so I would drink to forget how very much I hated my job....bad, bad road.
Now I LOVE my accounting job, I'm finally using my degree that I worked so hard to get, so when I have a drink or 3, it's because I enjoy the taste and it just fits with my evening....
Sydney - I understand - it was so hard when my daughter went away but I think it was harder when she came back from college and decided school wasn't for her! :sad:
Robin - good job with moderating!! Yay for you!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Sorry you're in a funk SoCal :ohwell: hope it lifts soon :flowerforyou:
Good job Mama Lush!
Definitely had one too many with the best friend but didn't go crazy, came home and went to bed and feeling good this am
Not sure about drinks tonight, we'll see what happens I suppose haha0 -
Its a new month.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
