Russian Roulette (courtesy of user dangerDrinking)
This is not from me, but I really wanted to quote this statement that really resonated with me:
That's such a good way to put it...whenever we as addicts pick up a drink, we are literally playing Russian Roulette. We have no idea which drink will be the one to kill us. We would never willingly put a gun to our heads and pull the trigger to see if that's the one... I am going to view picking up a drink in the same way from now on.
Thanks, dangerDrinking!!
Thanks, dangerDrinking!!
Hear hear. Ditto for me, there may have been times when I kept it to just 2-3 drinks, but I could never predict whether it could be that or a total binge. Not worth the risk! Life is so much better with the safer bet of abstinence and sobriety!
That's what got me every time too...assuming I was somehow back under "control", but every single time I always returned to every day binge drinking. Acceptance of the fact that I could never, ever have even one drink was the only thing that worked.
