spent last night with a group of guys, listened to music, ordered pizza, drank beer, lots of it...

woke up this morning with a severe headache but that was after waking during the night and needing one more blanket... my water jug froze solid

i haven drank in several weeks, maybe months... just kind of got away from it for health reasons and trying to intervene with my moms using alcohol right now too...

she uses for pain management, she was in a bad car wreck when i was little (DUI)

now days she is retired but she worked her whole life with a broken back

i think she is doing good right now but i worry quite a bit...

for me, drinking is becoming less and less desireable... im really glad to see the work the corporations in the alcohol industry have put into the 'stop and think' programs.....

alcohol has its uses and benefits imo, and i know most posts here are about total abstinence and i dont mean to mess others up at all...

just, i know some folks can have a drink or two occasionally and they can still be responsible about it...

waking up like i did this morning might sound to some like its irresponsible...

i dont deny anyone their opinions of me, its good to have an opportunity to explain or come to better understandings myself with discussion amongst others who also deal with these kinds of things..

thanks for the chance to do this Doc
