my last drunk...
wasnt much different than quite a few of them. i started drinkin before noon, which was something i didnt do too often. at the time, i was also poppin vicodins. i had some pretty good physical pain, which the vidodin helped, but it also increased my alcohol intake. at that time, without vicodin, i was gettin blackout,pass out drunk on a 6 pack. but with the vicodin, i could drink quite a bit more.
i got pretty friggin drunk( imagine that!!). i was on my 3rd 12 pack when i blacked out. i dont remember anything from about 3 pm on, but from what i was told, i didnt pass out til after midnight.
now, this may sound insane, but the next morning was awesome!! i was still drunk when i passed back in and my fiance told me a lot of the things i said and did. it surely wasnt the " you went out and were helpin poeple do yardwork and lifting poeple up amd helping them feel good about themselves." quite the opposite. i believed everythign i was told and my fiance threw me out. as the alcohol wore off, desperation, terror, and bewilderment were comin on strong! that when i knew alcohol and me were the common denominators in all my problems and i started lookin for a solution.i narrowed it down to AA or suicide.
that drunk happened 8 years ago today. it was the most disgusting drunk of my liife, but the greatest, most blessed event of my life. thats what it took. 23 ish years of repeating it over and over, but i had finally had enough.
i cant say gettin sober was easy, but with the program and the fellowship, it got easy. stayin sober has been easy. i dont have a drinkin problem today, justa thinkin problem, but that is a blessing and there is a solution for my thinkiin if i practice the principles in all my affairs.
