Today is a real trigger day for me! I loved to drink 7-7''s!!!! It was my drink of choice!!!! At tall glass double shot of Seagrams 7 whiskey splash of 7up easy on the ice with a straw!!!! Even after 32 years I can still see it in my mind and d**n near taste it!!!  I have to try to make it to a meeting today to not let the trigger get me trigered off!!!! I am grateful that I am aware of this and not grateful that I still have this trigger. I am still real weak & tired. I went to the cancer center and they say I have low red blood cells. The red blood cells are what send oxygen to the blood and give you energy. I got an IV bag to help them to get back to normal but it will take time. I am grateful to NOT have chemo today and have it post poned to next week. I need to get an attitude of gratitude today. Can't be hateful if you are grateful!!!--------Bunnypie  |

Sorry today was a trigger. Perhaps you need to look it as a thing of gratitude. I am grateful that I no longer drink 7-7, especially when you think of where it took you and why you found and needed the program.
Many people find AA but don't stay, they go back out for more research. I know I am grateful that I am coming up to 25 years clean and sober. I know I didn't do it myself and I am grateful for the people who crossed my path on my recovery journey. My poison was rye and Coca-Cola NOT Pepsi. If I got a bottle of Crown Royal, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. My dad drank Double Distilled, so I got to like it too. I can take my mind any where, but I prefer not go there in today. I started out drinking rum and switched to rye because that is what the boyfriend(s) drank. I could handle it if I didn't have the rye, but God help your soul if you took away my Coca-Cola. In today, i can't have either the rye or the coke. I don't like diet pop.
I am so grateful for the program. I am grateful that my God got me to the doors and through His Grace, I was able to stay.

I still have the blue velvet bag that Seagrams crown whiskey came in. I loved how smooth of whiskey it was! LOL I have sewing supplies in the blue velvet bag (thread & stuff) that I hardly ever use so the blue velvet bag is still in good shape after all these years!!! I am extremely glad that July 7th aka 7/7 is behind me for another year and that I managed to stay sober thru it!!! Thanks for sharing your experience strength & hope of how you survive this crazy alkie sh*t!!! Triggers are tough. -------Bunnypie

Always has difficulty with Dec. 3rd as it was my dad's birthday and he died as a result of his alcoholism. I went up to keep house for him and became his drinking buddy. Remarried and lived with him and he kicked us out at 11 p.m. one night after coming home from the Legion. We went and stayed at a friend's house until we got an apartment. I had left my son with him. I called him on the Monday to see if he wanted to spend Christmas with us, left a message and got no answer. He was seen buying liquor on Wednesday and found dead on Friday, three days before Christmas. A very emotional time and it took years to be at peace with it all.
