binges. I called it alcoholic for a week. I'd get drunk a few times and as soon as I had a bad enough hangover I was cured again. I didn't see much harm in that.

I'm cut off now because I'm on Celexa an antidepressant. No drinking on this shit. The getting drunk part is okay but it gave me diarrhea and the sweats for two days. I don't want to find out what drinking a few days in-a-row would do.

The funny thing is they prescribe this stuff for alcoholism too. That's not why I'm on it but it seems to have eliminated my urge to drink. I'm way overdue and had my 45th high school reunion last weekend. If anything was gonna make me try drinking again on this stuff that would be it. Nope. Wasn't even tempted.
