but to NOT drink while I am in hospital.
I thought that I would go through all sorts of withdrawal symptoms, but I didn't.
I had a day's pass last Saturday to go shopping and I sneaked a glass of wine at a restaurant. I didn't desperately feel like I should have more after that. So I consoled myself with the fact that I "cannot" be addicted or an alcoholic after all. Does that make sense?
Of course, as I type this now I could so use a drink but it isn't physical, just in my mind.
I KNOW I have a drinking problem. I KNOW that I would not have sliced my wrist to the vein if I had been sober, yet I am finding all sorts of justifications.
Ah well, I suppose that is the way an alcoholics mind works.
I know I am in for a tough time when I get out of hospital because my husband is going to limit and restrict, if not forbid any more alcohol, especially since it has such a bad effect on me.
If I don't lose weight from not drinking I will sulk for the rest of my life.!!!!
Love
Sabrina
