I guess it's time to end this thread. I believe my detoxification is complete, and I shouldn't really be the person documenting this process. I get lucky with these sorts of things for some reason, so my experience probably isn't the norm. I drank to excess pretty much every day for at least 15 years, and all I got was shakey hands for a day and a half.
I'm honestly not bragging or being dismissive of this topic. I just really do get lucky. I know. I suck.
I would encourage anyone on this forum who is currently drinking or using whatever substance to excess, to at least cut back for a bit just to see if you feel any better. I'm never going to be some preachy, sanctimonius "recovered drunk" jack-ass. People should live like they want as long as it's not adversely affecting others. I'm just saying I'm glad I cooled things off at last, I was really heading for trouble. At the moment I can't believe I did that for so long, just became a habit I suppose.
Now I am going to have a nice, relaxing beer. I don't feel any compulsion at all to drink one, really, but I have two in the fridge so why not? I still plan on at least being a social drinker.
Oh, and tomarrow night on CBS, new series Jericho premiers. It could be totally aweful, but the premise is about a small Kansas town in the aftermath of a (apparently) global nuclear war. I know, it might suck, but I got a feeling it might be pretty cool. I'll post my review after the show in case anyone is interested.
If nothing else it stars one of the former guys from Simon and Simon, so it's got that going for it. I can't remember the actors name, but he was the guy who played Simon.
