well... when i was drinking too much and decided to cut it down i basically stopped going out until i could handle being around it and not getting carried away. same thing with smoking. i have a friend who quit and his biggest problem was smoking while drinking, so he cut down on that too as a result. a LOT of it IS being around the problem a lot... so you gotta find other things and then slowly go back to being around it and not feeling the urge to drink.. or if you do feel the urge you can just say no. i would think ppl would respect your decision not to drink, no matter the reason drinking is exactly good for you... i wonder what ppl on diets do? find a healthy alternative... drink virgin daquiris and stuff.
haha ryan. you can ban me if you want me to stop coming here. i personally like it here- with my part agoraphobia.. and you dont know how much i stick up for you... um, yes i cried wolf too many times im only asking to be believed in one more time if i dont do it after this kill me for real
ryan i never harrassed you if i did im sorry i thought after all we were friends and why should i stop coming here? tell me that?
you havent harrassed me?? are you kidding me?? you do harrass me, then you get on here after your alcohol binge and always tell me you were drunk and you were sorry. its the same shit!
like i said though ryan... i thought we were still friends and yes, i pm'd you drunk before.. no denials here but calling it harrassment? that's just crazy ryan
ryan first if i was harrassing you you could have said "go away bitch" i didnt pm you all the time but yah.. i did... i have good memories of you and you never told me i was as stalker and HARRASSING you so dont pin that on me. please. that is a lie. you might not have wanted anything to do with me but you said you were my friend and i wasnt harrassing you. and forget that... answer this why dont or cant you believe in me one more time?
so i went grocery shopping with my kids tonight and before we left my son was on the computer.. he made it obvious that he didn't want to leave and when he started to whine and cry he was told he couldn't get back on the computer when we got home.. he asked for one more chance... like he does so often and so i told him that if he was a good boy in the store he could have 15 more minutes when we got back... well he wasn't good.. and when he found out he wasn't getting back on the computer he yelled "give me one more chance" the whole ride home.. i still didn't let him... is this too vague for ya interval illusion?
I don't think he's advocating for religion, rather a higher purpose besides one's self. If we think we are the biggest, most important thing on the planet we are bound to fail because we can't live up to our own arrogance.
you can't have one last if you're going to quit get a grip and do it now-just quit. You said it's hard becaue you will be exposed to it, but what about people with food issues they are exposed to it everyday and have to eat, you can simplyt abstain.
hmmm...a little judgemental eh? I seem to remember a time when you had a pretty big issue that you aired out on here to seek support. YOu made quite a few threads about it. Don't judge people, everyone has their problems and their ay of venting and dealing with them. Trish isn't hurting anyone, she's seeking support and frankly I think it is cruel and insensitive of you to come into a thread and slam somone who is seeking help. What kind of person does that make you?
I agree with lynsey on this, you know too I had a boss years ago that drank heavily, he quit and was doing good for awhile. Then he decided to have just one drink, everything went down hill from there. Dont say you will have just one more drink because you will keep saying that and keep right on drinking. When you do give up drinking dont think because you havent had one in a long time that you can have one drink. The minute you have another drink you will go back to your old ways. Ive seen it happen time and time again.
hey im glad you read the PM and understand where im coming from here. theres a lot more to the story but eh oh well. lol i think youre remembering someone else...i never made a series of threads..or even one thread about having an eating disorder
People quit smoking all the time, and it's everywhere. If you want to quit, you will quit. Your mind is a most powerful thing. I think what it boils down to is that you don't want to quit drinking. I think that it makes it easier for you to feel sorry for yourself. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and I think you are losing the battle with this one Trish.
there are times like tonite that i want a drink real bad...If I had any at home i probably would have but i just dont keep too much in the house. you can't drink what you dont have. i dont think i have a drinking problem but i want to associate alcohol with fun so i want to only drink when having fun. masterbation on the other hand...
