First and foremost I have to thank everyone for the support I'm receiving from you all.
Ok... now that that's said:
It's starting to freak me the fuck out that I'm getting invitations to AA. I know the title of my blog and all, and I know that last's night's blog was a little more "real" than I even intended this site to get, but I never expected people to look past the site for entertainment value and possible encouragement to try this on their own.
I have great friends. May not see them very often, but they are out there. I have to thank Jen in particular for your constant attention to my challenge here. You are such a bright spot in my life and I thank you.
I have also gotten a few emails saying that I should keep this up. That I will "overcome" all my "issues."
THAT is bothering me.
I am social. I do drink. But I am just looking to slow my roll and discover what is driving me. It is what people do at 26: find themselves a little better.
Who knows how I will feel in another week. But wow. What an eye opener.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW ENLIGHTENING THIS 2 WEEK CHALLENGE IS. Try it.

ReplyDeleteDee,
ReplyDeleteYour blog could be found in the back of the aa big book. It also describes the last 6 months of my life before I hit rick bottom and found my life @ 25 going down the drain. I then did this "im gonna quit drinking for a month" and that month was just how you described. 2 weeks after another failed attempt to stop I went to AA. If you went to a meeting you might relate. I only invite you because it is my duty as a member off aa to help another person who reaches out.
