>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I have been fighting alcoholism hard and still haven't beaten it. Not asking for sympathy because I don't think I deserve much. Well, maybe I am. I know I am a good guy with lots of good things going for me, including two daughters who are way better than I deserve. I go to AA almost every day. I want to quit. Yet here I still am. It's mystifying.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Good night. At least I have enough sense left to go to bed sometimes.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I know you're a divorced man. Maybe it makes harder with alone. However a relative of mine becomes drunk at the morning having wife and children.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>I am thankful my daughters live with me. Alone is much worse for me, in fact that's usually when the binges happen.

>>>>>>>>>>>>I understand you. I have a problem with eating. I was 107kg and I'm now 99kg. It's really hard to eat less. Expecially deserts... I cannot hold mine. I say myself "I'll begin diet tomorrow, not today. Today not a good day for diet". It's really really hard. I was 66kg before years ago. How happened that, I can' t believe in me... I'm sure alcohol is so harder.

>>>>I can't do those all you can eat places any more. One small platefull and I feel full. My son can eat an eye watering amount in them. I'm sure he's eaten his own body weight in spring rolls in one (at one sitting)

>>>The whole thing is a lie anyway. Once when I was leaving, I mentioned to the waiter that this was not all I could eat, so I'd be back tomorrow to eat more. He said I'd have to pay again. What a rip-off.

>>But what if you camp out in the buffet? Technically you haven't left yet.

>I thought about that, but when they close, they kick you out. You can protest all you want, but it does no good. Like I said, the whole concept is a lie.

>I thought mere logic would do the trick, but try explaining to them that this is simply NOT all you can eat. Gets you nowhere.

I've always wondered if I could go in for an early lunch, hang out all afternoon, and eat supper also.
