Vampire or victim

[No1Understands]

BlankPeople have told me that they think I'm an alcoholic. Not just one person, but many, including family members. Of course I think their all crazy. I can run out the door at the drop of a hat and go drinking and dancing till the wee hours of the morning, and yet I suffer from all kinds of physical ailments, some of which are amplified by the effects of alcohol. So on one hand I have all these physical problems, that I choose to ignore when its convenient for me, and then when I want to be the victim, I use them to my advantage. So depending on whose around, Im either a vampire or a victim.

Listen for the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground. :-)

Good luck to you!

Blanki heard that "you're an alcoholic" label every night when i i drank:
from wife or family or friends or new bar friends or bartenders. i used to
say ,"i'm a working alcoholic, i only drink after work.... i only drink
after 11pm... i only drink 2 beers per hour based on my weight... if it's
a party i get to drink early..." etc.

i used to order deliveries or picked up ten to 20 cases of beer at a time.

i used to drink 6 to 12 beers every night.

until june 3, 2003, when i had my last ice cold beer at 8am.

i used to weigh 225-235, i now weigh 211 lbs [at 160 calories per beer x 12
beers = 1920 calories/day]

my cholesterol numbers were up, but now i can take zocor for cholesterol
which is a non-drinking meduication.

i used to blame my asthma and asthma medications for all my sleeping 12
hours. now i sleep 8-9 hours.

life is better now, i can remember the night before, i plan ahead for the
month instead of by the week, i remember names better, i have lost memories
returning. i accomplish household repairs immediately instead of adding them
onto a list.

i am making my workaholic wife crazy by keeping up with her long work hours.

nobody reminds me that i'm an alcoholic these days.
i always remember when i open the "beer fridge" and see the new lineup of
soft drinks, when my mouth waters at the grocery store beer cooler, and when
it's "time for a beer" or "c'mon over for a beer".

quick antidotes: caffeine. shopping.



i look forward to group twice a week for insights.
