Robin, love the new profile picture!
Yvonne, you know you don't HAVE to start drinking again. Sounds like you are a little nervous about it. Or reluctant? I am interested in hearing your results once you do drink again. The reduced tolerance is something I am looking forward to (once I ever stop drinking for more than a day,)
Welcome Clive, glad you got to the doctor and got the blood pressure meds. I had to try a few before we found one that would work. Good wishes with the new dry life.
Welcome MK also, we have the same problem, one drink turns into 6 7 8. Obviously we are still finding our way so no advice but wanted to let you know you are not alone.0 -
Feeling particularly tonight. DH bought some lovely Pendelton. It tastes really good and it is a nice change from the really cheap vodka we usually have on hand. (Grey Goose when I get a job but until then, you know) I really need to regroup come Monday but I decided to really enjoy the holiday weekend. so here's to each and everyone of you, my dear lush friends.

I'm a strange one when it comes to vodka... All the top shelf vodkas don't appeal to me at all. I prefer absolute over everything else lol.0

That sounds delicious, Robin. I think you needed to let yourself go this holiday. I am sure you will be back on trick with the new week.
I had a great day today. Spent the day with my youngest daughter and her family. Ollie, my 18 year old grandson, was home for the weekend and it was great to spend some time with him. He started a new job at the beginning of October as a trainee instructor at a Christian based activity centre. It is a residential set up and he is based about three hours away; he has been busy settling into his routine and although Mum, Dad and his sisters visited at the end of October, this is the first chance I have had to see him. He is doing great; he has so grown in confidence and is loving the job and the wonderful group of people he is starting to know and love as friends. But, he still loves his granny and is the same loving and caring boy who went away. The change is that he is developing into a great, caring young man who is a fantastic support to his family and friends.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Lushes - keep strong, tomorrow is a new day. :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Robin, I love Kahlua, discovered it on holiday once when it was served in a white russian cocktail, now those are packed full of calories!
Debbie. I know I don't have to start drinking again but I do really like doing it! :bigsmile:
Actually I tried to buy a bottle of wine today - red so I could use it in a lasange, not to drink! - I spent ages choosing a nice one and when I got to checkout I got asked for ID. I don't carry photo ID with me as it is not usual to get asked, only if you look under 18, so the guy refused to sell it to me. Seriously I'm 35, I think I was old enough to be his mother!0 -

Thank you, I try to go above and beyond....I though about your winter veggies dilemna, how about beef stew with potatoes, carrots & peas, brocolli soup or pasta fagiolo...I have recipes if any of them interest you...0 -

I am drinking some pinot noir right now! this weekend, well, started Wednesday with Wild Turkey Wednesday, but I didn't have Wild Turkey so I drank rum in rootbeer, it was pretty tasty, then we went out for dinner and I had two bud lights.
Thursday there was two bud lights, followed by wine with dinner (the bottle they sent home with me and I am drinking right now).
I did not keep track Friday, we went on wine tasting to four vineyards, then had chicken noodle soup and a couple of more bud lights.
Saturday I had a couple of margs I made with tequila, sprite and lime seltzer, then a house marg at a mexican restaurant and a couple coors lights hanging out.
Tonight I poured this wine, then we went to dinner and I had an agave wheat beer, breckenridge brewery-really yummy if you like wheat beer, and it's a local brew.
I am worried about the weigh-in tomorrow!0 -
welp ... I made it thru thanksgiving with my mom without any alcohol. I love my mom a lot, don't get me wrong but somehow it's easier to spend hours with her when I am a little tipsy. First thanksgiving in a long time spend completely sober.
Hope all of you are doing well!0 -
Holiday total: In the RV on the way to Nebraska...2 diet cokes with whipped cream vodka.
Once we were there...2 shots of Canadian MIst (blech!) and a few beers
On thanksgiving...several glasses of wine
Friday...several beers
Saturday...several red bull and vodkas
Sunday...one red bull and vodka
I've gotten my alcohol on for a few days and I'm ready for a break! :laugh:0 -

Karen, you have done so well, there's no way I'll be surviving my family this Christmas without the help of alcohol :happy: :drinker:0 -

Did you have pangs for the alcohol or has it become easier at this point?0 -
Glad I found this thread! I'm def a wino too. My vices are wine and cheese with crackers My friends all go drinking every thursday. So it's def a struggle. I guess the only thing I could do is eat less during the day so that I have enough room for the alcohol calories, but that sucks! lol0
