I'm going to really try to take better care of me. I want to start an exercise routine at 5am in hopes it energizes me. Start taking vitamins and eating better. Not just for my shape but for my mind and spirit.





What about ya'll?

 Ever live a life where you are on your way home....and you have knots in your stomach wondering if the person at home is gonna be THAT kind of drunk? Where you walk in the door and you know they are shit face and you gotta think "should I just call the cops now and get it over with or wait until they escalate?"

I resolve to get off my ass and wash the dishes.





That's about the only resolution I'll be able to keep.

Mostly Chunky Monkey, Peanut Butter Cup, Cherry Garcia, and Phish Food since those are the ones I would choose from most often.



I've only found one Ben&Jerry's flavor I absolutely can't abide and that's Netflix & Chill.



Tastes like it has chili powder in it. What the entire fuck...?

Ice cream makes me gain weight the most, next to donuts. Luckily, Im lactose intolerant lolol. So when I do eat it, I cant eat much, so I dont normally buy it.

Eating too much of it makes my pants tight at the waistband and unfortunately I tolerate lactose just fine.

Ben&Jerry's is my Pringles: once I pop, I can't stop!

I don't even notice until I'm scraping the bottom of the pint and then it's way too late.

I can go a couple of days, but I hardly see the point. I can consume around 6 standard drinks over a period of 6 hours and feel completely comfortable with doing that daily. Recently I've been fortunate to smoke a bit of weed too, but that's as far as it goes these dayz. On the odd occasion I may indulge myself in a couple of paracetamol pills to ease the after effects of a binge session the morning after, particularly if I upped the ante and decided to shit-stir on a particular forum.



I think alcohol is the perfect drug...it's been with us ever since we stored food over lean times and decided to scape the barrel. Basically from the year Dot...

Cool and everything but:



1) Weed is overall way better than alcohol and has been around since our earliest ancestors were trying to figure out which plants were good to eat.



2) Ben&Jerry's is a brand of ice cream.



I so seldom drink if I cut back I'd be quitting entirely.

 My mothers retarded alcoholism destroyed my life before I got to live it.  My grandmother had to raise me because of it.



 She once tried to stab me with a piece of a broken mirror when I was 4 (she had no idea what she was doing, btw...she was on heavy psych meds and drinking heavily) and my grandmother kicked her out.  I was molested by her boyfriend. Just one single time....and yeah I told. It was fucking terrifying.  He went to prison for 5 years. My mother than left the state.



 As I became a teenager she came back to Michigan and she would get dumped on me. She got my grandmother's car impounded. We were both working in the mall and she had gotten drunk in the parking lot and drove with no lights on....me in the car...and the police arrested her and I almost ended up in foster care.



 I've had to go pick her up from the hospital in the middle of the night more than once. My best friend I call my brother always went with me.



 She allowed my alcoholic step father to he abusive to me. She has physically attacked me on a handful of occasions. Mostly because I got mouthy at the wrong times. Her and her drunk husband destroyed my credit. And guess who fixed it? Me.



 She has been sober for about 8 years now. She really went off the deep end when she detoxed and we didnt talk for years.  She was texting me hateful and abusive rants for like two years. Shes been living with us for the past 3 years now because she has a ton of physical and mental health problems from her decades of drinking an 18 pack of beer per day.



 My "normal meter" was completely fucked because of her alcoholism and I knew nothing of healthy relationships. I also developed substance abuse issues of my own. It took me YEARS of therapy to even realize the depth of dysfunction I went through.



 I know there are people that can manage their alcohol and use it responsibly and NOT destroy their life and everyone elses.  People who have lived with an alcoholic will always have trauma associated with drinking.



 Ever live a life where you are on your way home....and you have knots in your stomach wondering if the person at home is gonna be THAT kind of drunk? Where you walk in the door and you know they are shit face and you gotta think "should I just call the cops now and get it over with or wait until they escalate?"  



 I think alcohol is just as destructive....if not more destructive....than heroin. If you are or live with an alcoholic.



 My "resolution"....I dont really make specific ones......is to mentor someone. I havent been mentoring for the past 3 years. Just like 1 person....it gets too much if you have more then one.
