HI All, I know I am a binger but I am less of a binger than I was. I have less triggers except for the local socializations & dinners out. Pre Sinclair, I found every reason under the sun to buy a bottle & drink to oblivion. I would go to the Chinese rest., not far from me & have a "few" there. Then buy more on my way home, then try to cook supper sloshed & make an F..king mess out of the kitchen. I can honestly say, I've not done that since I began 6-11. This week I had 2 drinks at local on Sunday. Today is Thursday & I've had all AL free days . That's 4 so far. However, Rick's brother is due here tomorrow from San Diego. Big MERLOT drinker & beer w/raw hot dogs. I can't take it. Must be quiet as he only comes to visit their Mom 1ce a yr. Oh boy. All in all pretty good week. Will keep ya posted.
ALWAYS GRATEFUL TO YA"LL JANE

Good Luck.

Look at your triggers as opportunities! Your working through it.

Jane,

I so glad that things are working so well! Good luck with your merlot-drinking visitor. You might need some merlot to deal with raw hotdogs - nasty! My last binge involved a Chinese food mess in my kitchen Congrats on such a great week so far!! BTDT

Thanks guys! He arrives on the 5:15PM flight. Oh dear, yes the raw hot dogs are freaking nasty but know what? There are 3 boys in the family, Rick, & his 2 brothers, all of them eay their hot dogs raw! Must be the Canadian French in them.
Should be interesting. It always is. Hey, at least I won't be messing up the kitchen cooking if I do happen to get hammered. I am not planning to tho.
ALWAYS MY BEST
JANE

Raw hotdogs?

The raw hot dogs caught my attention too ... yucky!

es peolple, raw hot dogs. He is here as we speak sitting in front of TV watching football with Rick. They are both eating raw hot dogs. I correct myself on the Merlot. It is Cabernet his brother Ken drinks. We just stopped at a pkg store so he could bring 2 bottles to our house for the nite. God bless me. I did well so far. Stopped at a resturaunt after picking him up. I had 2 glasses of Chard. When he went to pkg stor I picked up a small bottle of Chard.. The first 2 at dinner tasted different. Not unpleasant but not great. Sort of indifferent. I am here having a glass now. Seems like no big deal. Before TSM, I would stay up til the wee hours with Kenny drinking & laughing. Tonight is not the same something is shifting for sure. Will report in the AM. However, it's going to be a loong week.

Always, Jane

Just out of curiosity, Yogagirl, where you at? I see USA.. Maybe raw hot dogs are just prevalent in the New England area. We have a lot of Portugese & Canadian French people here who love that kind of stuff. You guys ever heard of Linguica? How 'bout Churicio? Pronounced Chourdice'.? If you know what's in hot dogs(not good stuff) Linguica is more intense. Double YUK, Yogagirl!

This is way off topic, but frankfurters or wieners are cooked when you buy them, so there's no harm in eating them cold right out of the package. If you like that sort of thing . . .
