I drank one beer on my lunch today. I know I shouldn’t have, and it was wrong. First alcohol I’ve had in over 2 months. But is it throwing the whole 2 months away? I don’t think so. I can just rephrase it from “2 months without a drink” to “2 months of being in recovery”. I definitely don’t think I’m going to make drinking a habit again. I don’t even like the way it’s feeling, all I feel is nervous and anxious and slightly dizzy. Nervous and anxious probably just from the guilt. So I’m actually a bit relieved, knowing that I can for some reason if I feel like it have a beer and not relapse into hard alcoholism if I don’t let myself. I don’t even like this feeling, pot’s better and I don’t think I’ll be following it up with a second after work.

Better safe than sorry. Maybe you should watch The Days of Wine and Roses.

4 hours later and I’m just sleepy, feel slightly queasy, and have a headache. Wasn’t worth it. Maybe if I had done it at the end of the day when I could have just went to bed after and when my depressing thoughts were actually at the forefront it would have seemed to have more benefits.

Yeah coffee, and I also hope it doesn’t hurt your relationship with God.

I’m seriously considering giving up on my final project for my English class. My professor wants me to edit my paper but hasn’t actually given any concrete way to do so. Essentially I’m stuck on this. To add to that I were told to write an initial reflection paper and I did, in it I talked about my past pains and struggles. Well he called it too maudlin, I dissagre but can’t do anything about it because my mom wants me to get a good grade and doesn’t care about my personal issues about it.

Write something different.

That may not be possible depending on how much research is expected of him.

Well if it’s the same paper mentioned in another thread, it may be a good idea. Alternatively he needs to narrow his focus and ground the paper in something more than musings. He might consider instead writing the professor a short note to, “stay phrosty,” but I recommend against that. In sum, his mom is right, and if he wants a good grade he needs to do something different.

It’s finals week so I can’t redo it.

Then edit; narrow the thesis.

Perhaps this thread isn’t the best place for something as minor as this.

I tend to agree.

This thread is meant only for either sharing your deepest troubles (in other words, not the petty stuff like the b*tching thread), and for those who wish to offer support.

Man do I feel like a crumpled up piece of paper that someone previously spat chewing gum into.
