I wish I had something positive to report...

Ah... Athena girl....  no worries.   We have all been there....  I laugh when I think of how often I have gotten up to check my "sent" folder on my emails...  what did I say?  Who did I say it to?  
 
On the bright side, having become so financially destitute from drinking,  I've lost my home phone and cell phone!  GRIN.  At least there are no more worries of those "late night forgotten phone calls"...    Though SKYPE creates the same challenges!
 
I'm not making light of your concerns....  I just want you to know that I'm out here.....and I have been through exactly the same thing....    I understand.
 
Congratulations on you being so self aware and honest.  Kudos to you.

No worries, Athena.  We've all been there.  I'm just glad you're here.

I am truly appalled.  I have absolutely no memory of having written the previous post.  I have to admit that I also have no memory of my mother "waking me up" as I fell asleep on the computer last night - or so many conversations I have had....
 
I wishe that I had something inspiring to offer others on this site, but honestly right now, I am just thankful that there is somewhere in the world I can speak the truth, and somewhere there is a concrete tangible record of the things I am so quick to dismiss when I am sober.

Alchoholism is a vile and insidiuous disease.  Alcholol  make you feel small and pitiful and pathetic.  It is the alchohol - - - not you/ that sucks!!!!!
