My downward spiral....

[Badfish74]

Man-soulmates LOL. I think I could be the Han Solo to your Chewbacca. Wow that's a pretty frightening statement. Nightmarish actually. Er... (cough)

Badfish, I tried what that fish is doing last weekend in a swimming pool. It works. I dubbed it the Beer Snorkel.

Some people are better off staying away from alcohol completely. I can relate from the cigarette habit. It's hard being moderate with use. You'll start off with great intentions, and do pretty well with it, but one thing leads to another... and there you are going full bore again :^/

You know you better than anyone else does, just be careful man :^)

sumna bitch, that was funny!

hey badfish, as long as you don't feel bad about your drinking, then you're doing ok. that doesn't work for everyone, just the ones that know or worry if they're drinking too much. you're one of those. i drink like a ****ing fish and i know it. hell, i accept it. anyway, i think you'll do just fine keeping it all in balance.

@ lx and zman....I'm taking a different approach to it this time. Before I would down a beer in 2 or 3 chugs...it would last 5 minutes tops. Now I'm buying more expensive beer so, better quality, less quantity. Also, I'm sipping the beer now and appreciating the flavor, so a beer will last upwards to 30 minutes.

It's a work in progress! Thanks so much for the support guys! 8)

Re: My downward spiral....

Sadly I must admit that lately I find myself slipping back into my badfish ways. Yes boys and girls, I have begun to drink again. I was so proud of myself....I had gone nearly 2 months without touching a drop of alcohol!

I know it's only 6 or 7 beers once or twice a week, I just don't want it to lead me back to the place where I one dwelled. That dark abyssmal pit of actually needing it and getting pissed of if i was out.

Oh well....we'll just have to see.

I know you're drinking more than 12 beers a week. Don't lie to us that's only making the problem worse.

[Badfish74]

Hooker...I don't know you, so i can't make a judgement on your statement. I can't tell if you're serious, or joking.

If you're joking, then i applaud you, it was actually pretty funny!

If you were serious, then I ask you in tke nicest possible way, please don't ever call me a liar ever again! If you knew my strict policy on honesty, you would never have made that statement!

But either way, it's the net, so it's all good!

Badfish74,

I don't know what to tell you. I went thru a stage like that but as soon as it started to have negative effects I quit doing it so it never got to be a problem.

The good thing is you are aware of it. Good luck with it. 8)

I know the feeling!!!!! I recently tried to stop drinking due to the birth of my daughter, and going from drinking at least a 6 pack every night to nothing was tough, THANK GOD FOR SNUS, although it was little when compared to the buz of a good brew.

I drank maybe 2-3 times in the last 3-4 months and when I did drink it was only a couple like with dinner.

I have to say my life is better I guess, but I still miss just getting shitty and watching family guy or something. Oh well, no more single days for me.

yeah i dont know about you badfish, but i went through drinking quite a bit, everyday, to not at all for a few weeks, back to drinking, several times, and i feel at least like ive got a handle on it, though in my off times i usually am smoking pot. i dunno, maybe my life requires some sort of intoxicant, but i usually alternate in doing one or the other more heavily. but really, as long as youre enjoying life, and having some beers (or your alcohol of choice) who really has the right to tell you what youre doing is wrong? if youve got a handle on it, great. if you dont, but are atill hangin in there, youre still better off in my opinion. more power to ya, my man. whats life without the better parts of it? and to me, i like a good drink, a snus, and a bowl. live a little.
