Day Thirty Four

I felt pretty good this morning. I will admit that I'm looking forward to drinking tonight, and I think I'll be drinking vodka, but may not start until a bit later, as I have some songs to work on tonight.

I feel like I've seen steady improvement in social situations, but when drinking alone, it is still very difficult to judge what my consumption will be.

Day Thirty Three

This morning's plans fell through, but I was dead tired anyway. I took care of the dog and went back to sleep until about 13:00. I went out and bought three 24oz beers. I drank one, and then switched over to wine and finished up the last half-bottle I had. I then drank one of the remaining beers. My memory of going to bed is fuzzy, but I took the other beer with me. I'm not sure if I drank it or not; I'll check later.

My records are very spotty for the past ten days or so. I NEED to be keeping better track of all this.

Day Thirty Two

I bought three bottle of wine today. I drank half of one on my own before going over to a party on a different dock. I took a bottle with me, which I finished off quickly. Needing to attend to the dog, he and I went home and I drank a couple of beers before bed, knowing I had to get up early the next day.

Day Thirty One

I felt awful this morning. Still drunk and dead tired. I got up and took care of the dog, but I took the day off work and slept most of the day. I took the boat out from 18:00 to about 21:15, so I got started late. I drank most of a pint of vodka and went to bed late.

Days Twenty Eight, Twenty Nine, Thirty

Day Twenty Eight


Unfortunately, keeping up with the new dog, I don't really recall my behavior today. I didn't keep track of anything, but I believe I drank the standard pint of vodka this evening. I have to update this blog more often and keep better track of my intake.

Day Twenty Nine


I had band practice this evening until late, so I didn't have much opportunity to drink. I drank one beer at band practice while not on Nal. I took my Nal after practice and drank a couple of beers before bed, if I recall correctly.

Day Thirty


I drank most of a 375ml bottle, leaving maybe one shot left and I believe I had a few beers. I know I went a bit overboard because I felt awful the next morning.

Day Twenty Seven

I had to take the little guy to the vet today to have a couple of teeth pulled. they were worried that he wouldn't make it through the anesthesia because he's still very thin from being in the shelter. I'm really attached to the little guy, so it really stressed me out. But I knew I couldn't drink because I'd have to take care of him later, so I went for a boat ride instead.

They finally called and said he was doing just fine. I picked him up in the evening and had to leave him alone for the first time for an appointment I had. After I got back, I had two glasses of wine before bed.

Day Twenty Six

Today, I had two beers in the early afternoon and took the little guy out for a boat ride. I ended up at yet another party where I had a glass of wine. I tossed my plastic cup in the trash, but still wanted another glass. Because this is a party group, I just drank a couple of mouthfuls straight from the bottle. Interesting behavior, I think. I felt a little ill right after doing that, though, so I probably pushed it a little. I didn't get hazy or anything tonight, and I had half a 24oz beer when I got home.
