I d'no it is my nature to like to get buzzed up, and I am a relatively pure user yet....minus a couple of things.
I still get that tendency to drink and drive tho, just this last Tuesday, I drank and drove like an 18 pack deep. I was blacked out through most of it, but I know in my mind I KNEW i was confident enough to drive and I am sure did just fine.
But later my brother called and said one of his buddies passed me,and he was asking if i was alright, so I donno what is up. Jus an update, still going to meetings, pretty much have lost all contact with my ex. I see it as a transition into a new better me. |
I'm glad to hear you are doing well, but I kind of question that. It sounds like you feel pretty guilty for drinking and driving, as you should it's a bad habit. Believe me, I've done it myself.
I have one comment regarding your mentioning of the 'forbidden fruit'. This is a concept where you put something on a pedestal and thereby increasing your desire for it because you are not allowed to partake. The worse thing you can do is give in to the desire. You are only teaching yourself that you cannot live without it. The real way to debunk the myth of the forbidden fruit is to remind yourself why you don't
want to drink, why you
don't drink, and why you are
not going to drink. I like reading the why I hate drinking thread for this, and to remind myself daily how much better it is to be sober. Anyway, just my thoughts. Hang in there and let us know how you're going.
