GREAT JOB LB
Ok, on the alchohol thing..
My drug of choice prior to 85 was speed.....now its strange, cause that said it was a 9 mos 24hr a day alchohol binge that brought me to the program in 85 and I went to AA not NA (have done NA on and off through the years since)
BUT....my point is...I have never used speed or anyother recreiational drugs since I stopped in 1985. My first 2 years off drugs, speed was the one my mind went to on a regular basis, but ALL my MANY MANY relapses/slips whatever...have been on alchohol...today i never obsess about drugs...always about alchohol.
I don't think it matters which one we start on...any drug, includeing alchohol will be our downfall....Heck..guess what..its a "drug of choice" if we have a choice we will pick a certain one...but crp....if it isn't available we will use whatever we can to get to where we think we want to be.
Your ex is lucky to have you in his life as well LB.....we all need all the loving friends that we can have (hug)
