Socks For: March!
Folks say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, and maybe that's why it has two birthstones, Aquamarine and Bloodstone. The daffodil and Pisces round out the other symbols for March.
The aptly named "water of the sea" Aquamarine is turquoise beryl (its deeper green cousins are emeralds!). Now, we've got a lot of things that are turquoise, it's a very popular colour (although, I will confess, it's a real bear to colour correct!)
Clockwise from top: Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks, Nuova Baby Ribbed Wool Socks, Harajuku Arm Warmer, Classic ToeToe Socks, Harajuku Scrunchy Socks, Layered Tulle Petticoat.
But March gets two birthstones! The second is Bloodstone, also known as Heliotrope, even though it is totally a different colour than the Heliotrope flower. Deep, dark green with flecks of red, it's sort of the perfect counterpoint to the clear blues of Aquamarine. Green and red don't appear together on socks very often, but I think we can capture the ideals of Bloodstone pretty easily.
• Dreamy Striped Tubes •
• New Zealand Bedsocks with Stripes •
• N Stripes •
I always forget that March's flower, the Daffodil, is properly called the Narcissus. Frilly and yellow and already flowering in my yard, they're harbingers of spring, reminding us that sun is around the corner. I was a little worried about picking styles to represent these flowers. Yellow, despite the recent popularity of mustard as a colour, isn't a common shade of sock, but lo and behold I found a couple of shots where we used the Narcissus to bring out the best of lemony shades!
• White Knees •
• Sock It To Me Bumble Bees •
• Vertically Inclined Knee Highs •
Properly following February's Aquarius sign, March's constellation is mostly Pisces, symbolised by two fish. And we've got two-by-two options for you, both straight up fish:
• Sock It To Me Koi Fish •
• Mouthy Fish 3-D Socks •
And more symbolic scales (maybe your feet are the fish!):
• Lola Knee High •
• Mermaid Armor Over the Knee •
March marches on, bringing us the start of spring and sneak peeks of sunshine. Are you a March birthday? Do you pick Aquamarine or Bloodstone?

Colours for St Patrick!
Shamrocks and their luck are traditional symbols for St. Patrick's day and their bonny green is associated with the holiday as well.
• Snappy Shamrock Garters •
• Lucky Knee Highs •
• Sock It To Me Clover •
Thanks to our colour search, you can find lots of green styles to satisfy any anti-pinching needs. The Green Knees are a great start, and you can find a grassy shade in a lot of the knees styles.
From top: Green Knees in Black, Green Knees in Kelly, Green Knees in Purple, Green Knees in Fuchsia, Orange Knees in Kelly, Pink Knees in Lime.
There's a lot of history behind what colour you wear on St. Patrick's day. Some folks wear orange, a colour you also see on Ireland's flag. We offer a lot of oranges, from rusty shades to crayon brights.
• Extraordinarily Longer Thigh High •
• Harajuku Arm Warmers •
• Opaque Tights •
Recently (like I mentioned last year) we see folks sporting rainbows and gold.
• Rainbow Piano Knee High •
• Metallic Leggings •
• Over The Rainbow Thigh Highs •
But did you know that St. Patrick and Ireland used to be symbolised by hues of blue? From the sky tints of history to the richer shades used today, "St. Patrick's blue" is still found in modern symbols.
• Cotton Slouch Socks •
• O Basics •
• OTK Tubes •
So many colours to pick from! But no matter what you choose, have a happy St. Patrick's day!
From top: N Stripes in Royal & Light Blue, N Stripes in Red & Orange, N Stripes in Kelly & Lime, O Tie Dyed.

DIY: Reusing nylon stockings!
It's March and that means National Craft Month! We've given you lots of DIY options for rejuvenating socks that aren't good for being socks any more, but what about nylon socks and stockings?
Nylon styles can be thin and anybody who regularly wears classic stockings has experienced a ruining snag. With socks you can darn holes or cut 'em to make arm warmers, or use them as the base of fun crafts. There's a lot more material involved in a sock than there is in a stocking. Sure, thicker and opaque styles you can turn into arm warmers (like at the end of this DIY post), but what about those classically styled, sheer "nylons"? Dreamer Zaf gave some good tips for dealing with holes recently on the Tumblr, but what about when there's just no saving them?
Well, conveniently I collect household hint books, and even more conveniently, I've got one from the 1960s (reprinted in the 1970s), back when nylon stockings were a staple. Heloise's Housekeeping Hints is pretty much my favourite household hint resource and between this old version and later versions (she's even on the web, now!), there are lots of ways to get some last use out of snagged nylons. They're not that craft-oriented, but they are crafty (as in sneaky and smart!). For all of these tips, use clean nylons and cut off any lace tops (especially if they have silicone grip strips inside).
Lotsa tips after the jump!

Tips and Tricks: Blocking!
Sometimes, even if you're careful about checking the Sizing Tips of a style, the fit isn't exactly right. You need a little less room in the foot or a little more stretch in the calf.
If you're a knitter, you're probably familiar with the ways to get a little more stretch out of a sock. High percentage cotton and wool knits can be manipulated when wet ("blocking"), sneaking out a little more room or tightening up the fibers for a snugger fit. You can't change the stretch or size of a sock dramatically with blocking, but you can add (or remove) a little extra for a more custom fit.
Whether you're looking to add some more stretch in the body of the sock or shrink the foot a little, you'll need a small towel, hot water (Be safe! Wear rubber gloves if you need to and keep the water about the temperature of a hot bath) and a place you can splash a little. And of course you'll need the socks you'll be working on. I'll be showing you the process using O Basics.
If you're looking to stretch the body of the sock, you'll also need something to stretch around. Coffee cans are pretty perfect for this, but anything sturdy and round can work. Use a measuring tape and find something that's just a bit wider around than the sock can stretch now. Or you can go around putting the sock on things to see what just barely fits. That is more fun.
Wet Stretching
Right now there is a lot of variance in the calf stretch of O Basics, so sneaking a little more stretch out of this style is pretty useful. Wet the area you'll be working on by dunking the body of the sock into your water. Get it thoroughly wet, somewhere between dripping and just damp. I'm mostly concerned with the calf area, so that's the only part I'm getting wet.
Now gently but firmly stretch the sock over whatever you've picked to stretch it over.
Now you just wait a couple of hours (or longer, depending on how humid where you live is). Once your sock is dry, slide it off and check it out.
Before stretching the body of these O Basics stretched to just barely 16 inches. On the can they were stretched to about 16 and a half inches. Now they stretch to 17 inches! How much you can get out of wet stretching depends on the fiber blend, the colour of the sock (some colours just have no stretch, it's crazy!), a lot of little variables. But you can almost always get a half inch more. Keep in mind that you've reduced the elasticity a bit, so your stretched-out sock may not stay up as well as an un-stretched sock.
Shrinking the Foot
This process is more of a try and try again sort of procedure. You'll notice that for high cotton content styles like the O Basics we recommend that you "Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry." If you've ever had a pair of high cotton or wool content socks sneak into with a load of bathtowels you know why—they shrink in the heat!
Unlike some of the other DreaM Stockings (like any of the striped "knees" styles), the O Basics have a smaller foot, which we recommend for "Women's shoe size 5-10, maybe even bigger." But it's loose on a size 5, so let's see if we can make them work better. They're starting off at about 6.5 inches from toe to heel, unstretched (my measuring was a little more accurate than this picture!).
WARNING: doing this is going to shrink the body of the sock a little too, so if you don't want to lose any calf stretch, you might be better off using this awesome sewing method we linked to on Pinterest from Little Porcelain Princess.
The first step is just getting the foot thoroughly wet in hot water. Just get the foot wet (and the ankle, if it's too baggy on you), unless you're trying to shrink the whole sock.
Now throw it in the dryer on medium, with towels or some other bulky stuff. If you can (although it's a waste of energy and quarters), dry them with things that aren't wet or damp, so the body of the sock doesn't get wet and shrink as much as the foot. As the sock dries the fibers contract. Now the foot is about 6 inches unstretched! Not a huge difference, but it can mean a lot to little toes. We did try getting the foot wet and letting it air dry AND getting the foot wet and putting it in front of a hot air heater, but they didn't create any noticeable shrinking.
Remember, wet stretching doesn't totally transform the fit of a sock, it just helps you get that extra perfect fit. Read those Sizing Tips and remember you can always drop us a line for more in-depth sizing info.

Socks For: February!
I know a lot of folks born in February. In fact, I think three (!) Dreamers have had birthdays already this month. February's symbols aren't hearts, cupids and lace though, they're the very stately and fabulous Amethyst, Viola and Aquarius.
Amethyst is a super fascinating stone, used for protection in battle, as a ward against drunkenness and for intaglio carving, its soft purple hue lends a calm beauty to goblets, amulets and jewellery. Found in a range of purple (one of the definitions of Amethyst is "purple" qualified by "any purple"), some of amethyst's more common shades are rose, mauve and lavender.
• Wrinkle Press Knee High •
• Check Pattern Footies •
• Harajuku Scrunchy Socks •
The most valuable amethyst, however, is deep purple, with tinges of violet. I think what we and our suppliers tend to call "plum" is a good match.
• Super Ms •
• Soft & Dreamy Knee Highs •
• Boy's Socks •
Because people have always loved to coordinate, violets (more properly, "violas") are February's flower. Tiny and purple with a distinctive five-petal shape; their larger, hybrid form is called a "pansy."
• Polonova Flower Trouser Socks •
• Bunch of Pansies Over the Knee •
• Tibetan Flower Crews •
February's dominant constellation is Aquarius, the water bearer. Symbolised by layered waves, it's also part of a song title I bet you're trying not to get stuck in your head. I think Nouvella's Space Ocean colourway is kind of a perfect match—and the wee baby sock version way more fun (and cozy!) for little folks born this month than rocks and flowers.
• Dreamer Jacquard Ripple OTK •
• Space Dyed Terry Baby Booties •
• Dreamer Diamond Wave OTK •
So far February hasn't tricked me with a sneaky nice day that pretends spring is around the corner, but we're only about at the halfway mark of this short little month. There is plenty of time for one surprisingly warm day to make me think I don't have to work so hard to stay cozy.

The Army private accused of leaking millions of government files has offered to plead guilty to some of the charges against him, his attorney announced during a court hearing Wednesday.
But this is not some kind of deal guaranteed to get Pfc. Bradley Manning a lighter sentence.
"It's definitely not a plea bargain, what he's trying to do is, I guess, lure the government into tolerating this plea and not putting on evidence of those things that he is not pleading to," said Eugene Fidell, a military law expert who teaches at Yale Law School.
But this kind of plea offer does not come with a quid pro quo deal with prosecutors. "He could do this and the government could say, 'That's is all well and good, but we're going to continue to put on our case on the graver charges,'" Fidell said.
That could lead to him being found guilty of aiding the enemy, which could result in a sentence of life in prison.
David Coombs, Manning's lead attorney, may be hoping that this deal helps down the road.
"There's an advantage to showing that you are accepting responsibility for your acts," Fidell said.
Manning also announced that he doesn't want a jury, or a panel as the military calls it, to decide his fate during the court martial. He's asking the judge to do that.
"He didn't want to roll the dice with a jury. Juries can sometimes hammer people in ways that military judges won't," Fidell said.
Manning has been jailed for more than two years on allegations that he downloaded hundreds of thousands of pages of documents while serving as a military intelligence analyst in Iraq and handed that trove to the website WikiLeaks.

August 19 – Happy Birthday Bobby Richardson
Those of us who are old enough to have been Yankee fans back in 1961, remember today's birthday celebrant fondly. Bobby Richardson was born on today's date in 1935, in Sumter, SC. He was the lead-off man and starting second baseman for one of the great teams and most impressive starting infields in Pinstripe history. He combined with first baseman Moose Skowren, shortstop Tony Kubek and the late Clete Boyer at the hot corner to provide New York's pitching staff with an outstanding first line of defense. The seven-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner had a productive bat as well. He reached the .300 mark twice during his twelve-year career, led the league in hits with 209 in 1962 and drove in a record 12 RBIs in a losing effort against Pittsburgh, during the 1960 World Series. His only weakness was his inability to draw more walks as a lead-off man. In 1961, for example, Richardson drew just 30 base-on-balls in over 700 plate appearances. How many more RBI's would his teammates Mantle and Maris have had that year if Bobby wasn't such a free swinger?
Richardson retired from the Yankees in 1966, just 31 years-old at the time. He became a successful college baseball coach at the University of South Carolina and ran for Congress in the mid seventies. Always a deeply religious man, younger Yankee fans were introduced to Bobby when he officiated at teammate Mickey Mantle's funeral.
Richardson shares his birthday with this former Yankee pitcher, who afterwards became the Yankee scout who signed Ron Guidry.

Pakistan Awaits U.S. Apology Over Deaths
The U.S. relationship with Pakistan is in crisis, a week after an incident in which NATO troops killed 24 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghan border. The Pakistanis have cut off a key NATO supply line to Afghanistan, and they've refused to take part in the Bonn Conference on Afghanistan. NPR's Corey Flintoff reports from Lahore, Pakistan.

How to stop drinking on your own
I successfully stayed abstinent from alcohol for over 12 years while raising my three daughters, and now that I find myself alone, I struggle with a feeling of intense emptiness (I realize this is an oxymoron, but still the best way to describe how I feel). I drink when I find myself alone, and then regret it terribly the next day, as I can't safely drink at all. AA worked for me earlier in my life, but I really dislike it now. I need support, however, and friends who don't drink. What should I do?
This is my first time trying to post anything, and I'm a bit intimidated, but here goes. I found the older version of this website last week and started reading through the old posts. I had intended to wait until I had read them all before starting to participate, but the reason I googled "How to stop drinking" and found this website was to get help, and today I think I would like to avail myself of the help I've seen from so many of the posts, and maybe a little bit of my story will also help someone else, as yours have mine.
This is the morning of Day 5. . . this time. I have quit so many times before. I kind of know the usual pattern for me. Day 5 isn't usually one of the tough ones. But I forgot that one of the things that happens when I finally stop sedating myself is that emotions flood in. That's EMOTIONS!!!! all caps with exclamation points, maybe all those I pushed away while I was drunk. Today my husband criticized my driving. . . again, and I just couldn't take it. I had tears running down my face while I finished the drive to the gym, stayed in the car while I tried to compose myself, then told people I had allergies today to hide the crying. While I was working out, I got ANGRY!!! And I started to realize that the crying and the anger were way out of proportion to the actual precipitating events, and were more likely related to not drinking and my body and mind starting to try to straighten themselves out. Then my husband made a passing remark, and I almost bit his head off, but luckily didn't since we were out in the gym. And then I remembered OMG, about 4 years ago something similar happened and I did bite his head off and he refused to speak to me on that subject for almost 3 years lest he get his head bitten off again (he added a couple of other subjects to that list also). I was about to do the same thing. And OMG, this must have occurred during a period when I was "being good" and not drinking, and I had never noticed the correlation! Finishing the workout cleared my head a bit more, and I'm OK for now. But my usual start time for drinking is 5pm, so I'm not out of the woods yet today. More to come.
Julian, I'm in no position to offer advice, but let me say Congratulations for your 12 years!! What does that tell you? It tells you that you can be successful at being a non-drinker. When my first daughter went away to college, I can't even describe the sense of loss I felt. I'm an empty-nester now and retired, and have filled my life with many things I love, but have still been drinking. Like I said above, I've quit and restarted numerous times. Why will this time be different? One is this blog--finding it and using it. I set myself a deadline this time that if I hadn't stopped by April 30, I would seek and get help, as I have never tried outside help. Then I realized that the day after April 30 is May 1 - MAYDAY! And I thought that was so appropriate. Mayday, mayday, I need help. So I googled, found this blog, and found a couple of other resources along with AA that I can plan to tap into if doing it by myself with the help of this community aren't enough.
So my humble advice, is go back and read all the entries on this website. They can give you far more than I can. With the change to the new forum it may be harder to do than before. Patrick, maybe you can explain how or put it in the FAQs or something. It has been SO helpful to me to read my story from others, but without the ability to sugarcoat my version because it's coming from someone else. So helpful to hear both the success stories and the "I can't get past day 1", "I can't get past day 3 or 4". I feel a part of a larger community committed not just to "stopping" or "recovering" but LIVING successfully as non-drinkers, whereever we happen to be along the path. Good luck,
Patrick, Bill S., so many others whose posts I am still reading, THANK YOU! I've taken enough of your time for now but would be honored to be able to share again another time.
Carol, good job and thanks for sharing your story.... it is not an easy path we are on and it is a daily struggle...I am so thankful for this site....it is so helpful for me to be able to read about other people's successes and even their failures...it helps me stay focused on the goal and keeps me realistic in my purpose. Welcome to our family! Congrats on Day 5!
Julian, hang in there, maybe AA would be a help to you, if that is what helped you before. I know what the empty nest thing feels like.....after my son graduated and left, I often found myself wandering from room to room with a beer in hand, pondering the quiet, sitting on the couch crying, or even just staring off into space, I hated that quiet so I would turn on the TV, grab another beer and veg out....then, I would start calling everybody on my contact list and talk until I was so drunk I would pass out on the couch... I wish I knew what to say to make it easier for you but there is nothing- just know that I am rooting for you, you can do this, you are a strong man and you are an overcomer! I will be thinking about for and sending positive energy your way Julian!
Welcome Carol and Julian - this site is an amazing venue for trying to get (and stay) sober. Hope it works for you.
Angela & Sally, thank you. Just a quick note to say it's Day 7! When I have a little more time, I'd like to tell more of my story since I've found it helpful to read others, but here's the reader's digest version: first drink at 18 (also first time drunk & throwing up - if only I had just stopped then), now 58 and have been overdrinking for at least 20 years. Keep setting deadlines (before I'm 50, before I'm 55, whatever). For the last 6 years or so I've become very good at quitting, also very good at starting up again. I like the concept on this site of being a non-drinker. Very different idea to me than quitting (which implies that I could - and have - start up again).
I am wondering about the switch to the new forum from the old thread. Is there still a conversation going on somewhere else or are people not migrating to the forum or ? I am still reading the previous posts, am up to January, and wonder how everyone is doing.
We had a great group going, where did they all go? Anonymous, jcvb, kjpb, anyone out there?
I woke up this morning and like many other mornings my first thought was, "I have to stop this." Like some of you, I googled "how to stop drinking" and found this site. I am terrified my family will see this. Which is stupid, because I'm sure they know I drink too much. But I don't want to admit to them how out of control I really am. Maybe I only am just now starting to admit it to myself. I don't know if I am an "alcoholic" but I know I drink too much and I don't like the person I am when I drink. And I know I have to change. I want to change. But I've been here before. I'll tell myself I will not drink as frequently, and limit the number of drinks I do have. But it never lasts, and here I am again. I have to just quit cold turkey. Maybe later I can drink in moderation. But right now I can't. Thank you for letting me be "real" here.
Hi Angela! I'm here, but admit I am still trying to figure out how to use the new forum format. Any pointers would be appreciated! I hope you are doing well and love hearing you are still out there!! Hi all - hope you are doing well this weekend - truly one day at a time...
Hi I just joined this forum and appreciate all the sharing and insight. I am hoping this time I stop drinking for good. I have struggled for years to be sober but have never been honest with myself. I can't have one drink as it always leads to a new addiction cycle. Then I struggle to stop, stop drinking, only to start again. If I'm honest I know I can't drink alcohol. Thank you for all the sharing it gives me hope and strength.
kjbp asked for tips on using the forum, and I notice that the migration from the previous thread to the new forum is still slow, so although I am new, not an expert, not an administrator, I thought I would pass along some ideas.
First, there's anonymity. A lot of us like being able to be brutally honest about ourselves in a way we can't be with others, and know each other through our postings without having to worry about meeting and being embarrassed. With the new forum, it is necessary to provide an email address, and that feels a little like an invasion of privacy, especially since some folks share email addresses with other family members. One solution is to set up a separate email account just for this on Google or Yahoo. Just go to gmail.com or mail.yahoo.com and set up a new account. It'll take maybe 10 minutes. If giving out your email address is keeping you from joining the forum, think about setting up a separate email and view it as an action to aid in recovery.
Also, when you set up the forum account, you can opt for as much privacy as possible (not show info in your profile, not allow others to email you, etc.) and then change that later in a profile update if you want. Like I said in first post, it's all a bit intimidating but once you start it's OK.
One other thing which I found out the hard way. I started a post last night then wanted to read a comment that was on the other page, so I went to page 2 and lost everything I had typed in. Then I didn't want to retype everything. A good idea which I'll try to remember is if I'm writing a lot (or heartfelt and hard to retype!) to copy it periodically before I'm ready to post, so I don't lose it. (Just highlight it all, control-C, then control-V to paste back later if needed).
Anyway, I have gotten so much out of the previous threads that I really hope that this spiritual river will be flowing with all its streams from before, and I'm pleased to see new people joining as well!
I have some drinkin' stuff (actuallly non-drinkin') stuff to share but will put that in a separate post. Things are stirring at my house so I may have to do that later today.
Samantha, I think I may know how you feel. Why is it so hard to be honest with myself? I almost had a drink last night. Even though I was still feeling the effects of having too many the night before. It just sounded so nice to have a glass of wine and sit on the back porch and relax. The problem is that is not where it would have ended. I would of wound up drinking the whole bottle and then some. So somehow I resisted the urge.
does it ever get any easier?
Hope I'm not taking up too much space and time.
Last night I was driving home from a volunteer activity which brought me a lot of joy, and I had the thought that you couldn't pay me to drink right then. Wow! A week or so ago before I started this bout of sobriety, I would have bought a bottle of wine on the way home, had a 1st drink to celebrate the joy, a 2nd to cry for the sick children and their parents, then finished the bottle because it was there. By then I might have been feeling sorry for myself, then had the middle of the night recriminations, then woke up feeling crummy. Since it would probably have been only one bottle that night, I wouldn't have felt too terrible since I have recovering from one bottle down pretty pat - eat lots of carbs while drinking it, have a couple of aspirin or ibuprofen and some Tums in the morning along with some carbs, and I'm mostly good to go for the day.
Starting day 9 & happy to have had that unexpected thought yesterday. I know from previous quitting bouts that my next big bogeyman is 2 weeks, next weekend, where I feel so great about quitting that I talk myself into having "just one".
More I'd like to share but I don't want to monopolize & I need to go, so more later. Samantha & kjbp, glad to see you're here. Sally, thank you. Hi to Angela. Justin, how are you doing? Thank you, everybody!!
Carol, I really value reading about your experiences. It gives me hope.
I had a drink tonight. I didn't want to (how rare is that!). But we had a dinner out with the extended family and everyone was drinking and giving me a hard time about not drinking. I really don't want to make a big deal out of not drinking, just said I didn't want anything right now (I didn't tell them I was trying to quit.) But they kept baking a big deal out of it so I got a drink just so the conversation could turn to something else besides me. I nursed it all night; only drank about 1/2. I'm just afraid that it may turn into more. I've tried so many times to only drink in moderation, and I've always failed. I don't want to go down that road again.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent!
Thanks to everyone for sharing. Carol I relate to the week end drinking. If I make it through Friday and Saturday without drinking I feel so happy. I enjoy the week end more and have more energy. I'm less depressed too. I wish I could remember that when I decide it would be ok to just have "1" drink. I love feeling good physically and hate being hung over. My short term memory isn't good because of drinking. Sometimes it's embarrassing trying to recall something that I should remember.
Hi - Came across some good quotes, thought I would share them -
"And it's me who is my enemy, me who beats me up, me who makes the monsters, me who strips my confidence, and it's me who is too weak, and it's me who is too shy to ask for the things I love."
And for you Justin 'cause I am hoping you are still reading (and to whomever else can relate, myself included) –" It always seems just as soon as things are going good…just as soon as life takes a turn for the best...everything goes wrong...gets lost, confused and all messed up... and then you crash... and just have to sit there, cause you don't have the strength to get up. But in order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time. "
Never forget that tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life - may tomorrow be your new beginning :]
Hello! I just wanted to stop in here and say hello to all of you. I didn't know there was a forum here but I do check out the spiritual river website quite often and it directed me here. I'm sure I'll be around here a bit, I really enjoy connecting with others in recovery. Have a great Monday!
Freedom from alcohol began: 08-13-09 Smoke free since: 04-19-10
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
-Marcel Proust
In the 1500 or so posts in the previous 2 threads before this forum, one of the things that helped me so much was reading about other people's drinking and their struggles with it. With my own drinking, I can sugarcoat it or not remember parts of it or lie to myself. When I read other people's stories, I can't hide. I can see myself in their stories. And it helps.
For over 20 years, probably closer to 25 years, I have drunk a minimum of a bottle of wine a day, often two, with occasional bouts of sobriety such as the one I am currently in. My drinks of choice are wine (red or white) and vodka, especially a beautiful pomengranate martini but on the rocks with lime or whatever. But I'll drink pretty much whatever you put in front of me. Beer takes too long, so I'm not so big on beer. In an environment where alcohol is free-flowing, I will drink until I can't drink anymore, either because I've passed out or puked or the event has stopped serving alcohol because they closed or ran out. Oh, but if I'm still standing when they stop, I'll keep going if I can get alcohol somewhere else. One shameful memory is a work function where I did this--drank until they closed down the event, then went to the hotel bar and pounded down a few. Ended up on an elevator with a colleague, babbling uncontrollably; thank God it wasn't my boss and he never used it against me. I have worse memories than that. . .
What I really want is to be a "normal" drinker, you know those people who have a drink or two, maybe three and get a little tipsy, and then stop. I don't stop. I was at a neighborhood party recently where there was an open bar serving strong margaritas. I had 4 or 5 or 6, not really sure. Enough that I was getting a bit impaired so I didn't remember conversations the next day (hey, at least I remembered having them!), but not enough to stop drinking. But when I went back to the bar for another, the bartender said I'd had more than anyone (I am a 58-year-old 5'2" woman). I explained that I could walk home and my husband had the car keys so I was OK, and he gave me the drink. Needless to say, I didn't go back due to shame. But my husband didn't have the car keys, and I did drive home.
I plan to keep posting about drinking, because I need to remind myself why I'm trying to be a non-drinker, and because hopefully this will help someone as others' sharing has helped me.
Beginning of day 10.
Arrgh, I couldn't post this due to an error, then I had to log back in again. Luckily I had taken my own advice and copied recently. I lost part of the post and can't remember what it was, but at least most of it was saved. I haven't tried "Go Advanced" instead of "Post Quick Reply"; maybe I'll try that.
Carol, I can so relate to you. Thank you so much for posting your stories. I too want to be a "normal" drinker. Someone that can just have a drink or two every once in a while and its no big deal. But I can't. Once I start, I can't stop. For the longest time I convinced myself that I was ok, because all I drank was wine (for the most part), and I never drank until dinner time. In other words, as long as I wasn't crawling out of bed every morning looking for a drink, I didn't really have a problem. But I was wrong. I might not start drinking first thing in the morning, but I do start thinking about it first thing in the morning. I plan all day long, when I will get to drink, what I will have, etc.
I was at a social event Friday night with the people I work with. I had much more to drink than anyone else. So much so, that a man that I work with had to hold me up as we walked to the car. thank God he has not commented on it yet today. I guess it's too much to hope that he wasn't as horrified at my behavior as I am. I am so afraid that one day I will do something much worse, like have an affair, when I am drunk. That is the underlying reason I am trying to quit. I have the most wonderful husband. We have been married over 20 years. While I do drink around him, I do most of my out-of-control drinking when I'm out with others. And when my drinking is out of control, I am out of control. I am horrified and ashamed when I think of some of the things I've done drunk, and some of the things I can't remember. It's like I drink to become someone else, but when I do, I don't like the person I become at all. Didn't someone once say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results? That is definitely me.
Sally, Love the quote you gave: And it's me who is my enemy, me who beats me up, me who makes the monsters, me who strips my confidence, and it's me who is too weak, and it's me who is too shy to ask for the things I love." Can we add too scared and too stupid to the list too?!
Samantha, lately I have struggled with memory problems too, even when sober. My husband jokes that I have "old-timer's disease." I never thought it could be related to my drinking. That is really scary.
Thanks everyone. You are the only people I can talk to about these things. Thank you, thank you.

Watford defenders Lloyd Doyley and Nyron Nosworthy named in Jamaica squad
10:09am Saturday 9th March 2013 in Sport By Anthony Matthews , Group Sports Editor
Lloyd Doyley's consistency for Watford has been recognised with a call-up to the Jamaica squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Panama and Costa Rica.
The popular defender, who is only four appearances short of becoming just the tenth player to clock up 400 Hornets appearances in the club's history, has been named in the 25-man squad alongside fellow Watford defender Nyron Nosworthy.
Indeed, the squad has something of a Watford theme to it because former players Adrian Mariappa, Jobi McAnuff and Theo Robinson have also been included.
Jamaica are at home to Panama on March 22 before making the trip to Costa Roca on March 26, three days before the Hornets are due to take on Burnley in their Good Friday clash.

Throughout the years parents have invested much time and thought into weaving a magical story of a jolly old elf sliding down the chimney with a bag filled with toys for good girls and boys. Those who don't have chimneys may tell their children that Santa will come through the front door, or through a window. When my children were young, they used to ask that we let the fire burn down, or not light a fire at all on Christmas Eve, because Santa might get burned. Stories told by parents can become quite elaborate in the spirit of Christmas magic. If your child is questioning, but not really wanting to know the answer, give him one more year of magic and belief, and find new ways for him to become Santa's helper. Read the full article "Keeping the magic of Santa Claus alive".

Who said articulated toy dinosaurs were extinct? Kids will play with these hard-to-find hinged dinosaurs more than with ordinary figurines, because they can pose their limbs and tails and open and close their jaws. They can even flap the Pteranodon's wings! Great deal; includes six highly-detailed model dinosaurs, including T-Rex. For ages 3 and up. Styles may vary. See Product Details

Dinosaurs are awesome!

My 3 year old loooves these dinos! The heads/arms/legs/wings move and we have a blast playing with them ;)I even bought another set for my nephew!
Good size, good play value
By Edie
from Boston
I like these for my 2.5 year old. Good size for little hands, "realistic" teeth for pretend play (less cartoonish than, say, Dinosaur Train or Imaginext), and the moving limbs are great. The are hard plastic but not cheap feeling or flimsy. Thoughtfully designed so that the tail helps the dinosaur stand up. Even the pterandon stands up. The price is very fair. I'm glad I bought them, he loves them.As the previous reviewer stated, they do come in a white bakery-style box without brand packaging. The mouth does open and close with one of the nastier-looking dinosaurs..... the one with the fin. The rest have hinged-looking mouths that do not opena and close. My five stars is based on price and play value. I do not know if they would pass inspection for realism for a dinosaur-loving child pass preschool age.

About Me Recreational Player
Bought this for my 5 year old son. It was packaged horribly. I did not get all the figures listed in the description. They are TINY figures, like 3-4 inches tops which is not at all what it is described as. Very cheap plastic with rough edges.Extremely disappointed that I wasted my money on junk.
By Rachel
from Woburn, MA
I was disappointed in the packaging(plain white box), which would not have been fun for a 4 year old to open. I opened it to include with another gift I got and the toys are made of a very lightweight plastic that I am not sure will last. I would return this if my son had not been asking for them since October. One of the dinosaurs was starting to separate at the seam, but I was able to push it back together. I hope these last, but am not very optimistic!

Extremely Cheaply Made
By Wexford Mom
from Wexford, PA
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
The dinosaur playset did not arrive in its original packaging. 6 dinosaurs actually arrived crammed into what looked like a bakery box. They were made of an extremely brittle plastic. My 6 year old would have broken them all within 1 week. Also the jaws did not move on all 6 unlike what was written in the product description of my catalog. I was extremely disappointed with this product.

The U.S. Defense Department on Monday identified the SEAL killed during a successful raid to free a captive doctor in Afghanistan.
Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas D. Checque, 28, of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, died Saturday during the effort to free Dr. Dilip Joseph, the Navy said. NATO commanders believed Joseph was in imminent danger from his captors when the raid took place.
While the Defense Department announcement said only that Checque belonged to an "East Coast-based Special Warfare Unit," a U.S. official said the man was a member of the Navy's Special Warfare Development Group, more commonly known as SEAL Team Six. The elite unit is the same one that took part in the raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The official didn't know if the SEAL who died was involved in that operation.
"He gave his life for his fellow Americans, and he and his teammates remind us once more of the selfless service that allows our nation to stay strong, safe and free," President Barack Obama said of the slain SEAL before his identity was made public.
Armed men kidnapped Joseph and two other staff members for the international aid group Morning Star on Wednesday as they returned from a rural medical clinic in eastern Kabul province.
Tribal leader Malik Samad and district chief Muhammad Haqbeen told CNN that Joseph and an Afghan doctor were abducted near the village of Jegdalek in the Sarobi district, just outside Kabul.
The International Security Assistance Force said Taliban insurgents kidnapped the men. Samad and Haqbeen identified the kidnappers as smugglers.
Morning Star said negotiations began "almost immediately" with the captors and went on sporadically into Saturday night, when two of the three were released.
The Afghan doctor's family paid $12,000 to the smugglers, Haqbeen and Samad said. Morning Star denied paying any "ransom, money or other consideration" to win the release of its staffers, and the raid to free Joseph came 11 hours later after the other two were released.
