Why I am Powerless

[Twinsen]

Your list needs to be changed to since I did not take that sip of alcohol what happened. and so do I.

1) My daughter praised me for my strength.. she now believes im the strongest man alive for getting through it.

2) I told my friends I am going on without them to a reality that is sober.

3) I will wake up in the morning without the headache and feeling terrible.

4) add on as you wish.

5) I have lost tons of money on medical bills
6) I have been kicked out of a bar and sent home
7) I have been unable to be in a relationship for over a decade because I have been in one with alcohol
8) I have almost jumped into the sea on Thanksgiving after a ten hour binge
9) I have lost friends
10) I have lost the respect of friends and colleagues
11) I have been turned down for assignments and responsibilities

I have to do this list all the time. Otherwise, I forget that I am an alcoholic.

this list is good,..it's your "remember when"

My other favourite slogan is "keep it simple" sometimes the "why's" are like trying to figure out which came first the chicken or the egg.

I'm an alcoholic and I'm cool with that,....maybe I was born this way who know's?

All I know is "it really doesn't matter to me why?"
