What I’ve learned about alcohol; If I’m upset, it hits me differently. If I’m super stoked it hits me differently. I have woken up to unexplained bruising too. Now my cardiologist says alcohol affects my heart rate & anxiety way worse than caffeine. It’s gotta go. While raising my kids, I quit for over 15 years. Trying to wrap my head around quitting again. It ain’t easy & this time will likely be harder. You look wonderful
Lady that finding Leo story...this is what separates us. We run so close together in ages and kids and divorces and blah blah blah but when it comes to doing amazing shit I have always been too afraid. 🤷🏼♀️ in my case maybe it kept me alive but baby have I LIVED? Who can say. 🫤
Is this a cry for help or for approval? Blacking out does not happen with normal alcohol intake. Bing drinking is not normal. What if you'd injured someone? There is a problem here, and it shocks me that this isn't a fictional account. Please, Kelly, get help.
On Friday a group of moms from my kid’s hockey team a lovely dinner. I had two fantastic cocktails and woke up with a migraine. Although the food and drink were memorable the thing that stuck with me most was the glowing skin of a woman who sat across from me. I messaged her on our team app. I had to know: how is her skin so beautiful? Her included her skin care that she’s always used but also this, “Honestly, having zero alcohol in my diet I think has also made a big difference. I hate to say it since I miss my red wine, lol, but it’s definitely made a difference. Because nothing else in my diet has changed over the past year except for that. Other people have been asking me too.”
I am falling out of love with the buzz and the delight of a perfect cocktail. This case study of another hockey mom is enough to make me put a pause on even any imbibing.
It’s sad but unfortunately society tells us that if you can “quit” for lengthy periods of time then you are not a TRUE alcoholic. I know the cycle all too well. I just wish more people knew that there is so much beauty in recovery and it doesn’t have to be a punishment. But women will keep telling each other throwing up in Lyfts is acceptable behavior because it only happens every once in a while. Honesty is the first step which is quickly followed by relief that there is a solution and there are communities that understand….and the clear skin and loss of weight are bonus.
This is too relatable. So many of us who dont have "drinking problems" but have a problem with drinking. Every full moon or so, or nice day in LA a little Gremlin wants to come out bc Rose and oysters sound nice. Then shots and dancing follow. And a pack of cigs. But throwing up in a Lyft costs 100 dollars and replaying every person you spoke to and what you might have said that makes them hate you now... Too costly. Thanks for showing up and out.
Is this a Sagittarius thing? I have the same issue with drinking- start and can’t stop when I have one, so I avoid it entirely...until I don’t (especially dumb due to my migraine prone self). So many cons, but it’s still a struggle to never imbibe.
I am a migraine suffering Sagittarius too and have exactly the same issue. Basically I have to not drink or one glass of wine and I’m on my way to a club, calling an ex from my 20s and buying a pack of Marlboro 100s.

She is saying she isn't going to drink anymore so she can get buff
I know. That's not the reason to give up a substance one cannot handle. I don't believe it. Just...wow.

Does anyone else find this troubling? Alcohol-fueled blackout? Unexplained bruising? Denial? Rationalization? Colour me concerned.

Read my comment, Terry. I'm with you.
Nope, just relatable 🫣

As a Sagittarius who is like this too, there is some strong evidence lol
As a Leo I can relate as well. Must be a fire sign thing. Alcohol fuels the 🔥
