As it turns out, I am an alcoholic.

Finally admitting this to myself, I quit drinking for six weeks, then got tanked last night for no reason.

It's tough.

I went to an AA meeting today. It was exactly like I'd pictured it -- everyone was smoking, and grizzled, and there were framed copies of the 12 steps all over the walls.

I was made to feel very welcome, which both pleased me and creeped me out.

Anyhow, I haven't been focusing on weight loss while I've been dealing with this, but I hope to get back in the saddle soon.

They say you should come up with four weights: A dream weight that you'll probably never achieve, a weight that you could be happy with, a weight that wouldn't make you TOO unhappy, and a never-again weight.

For me:

125
135
140
170

I'm eyeballing that 135 pretty hard.
