Greg,
thanks you for this, I really enjoy reading what you have to say, it makes me hopeful. Right my typical day off is as follows:
I get up btwn 6 and 8 am
I turn on the tv
I take my 75 mg of effexor and 2 or 3 cups of coffee, and smoke
about 2 hours (2 episodes of Mash and 1 episode of ER) I start drinking
how much I drink varies, sometimes 6 beers, sometimes 10
I then eat and take a "nap" (pass out is more like it)
I then get up and feel guilty as hell, and ask myself why did I do this again?
I eat some more, trying to heal myself, and watch more TV
I don't go out on my days off, (unless for beer or cigarettes), and I never turn off the TV. for the past 3 weeks I've forgotten to put the trash at the curb for the garbage men, and I haven't cleaned the kitchen in a week. I don't answer the phone, I leave the mnail pile up for 2-3 days before taking it out of the box.I go to work, but the only reason this year I have called off is because of hangovers. The only other thing I seem to do is get on the computer ocassionally.
this is the first time I've actually told anyone what my days are like.
