My theory....what do you think? Opinions needed
My theory is this...(although it has not been tested by me personally). If we are, in fact, not powerless (which I believe, how could I stop if I was?), then addiction and overuse is in essence more of a phase than a disease or an incurable malfunction. I think, let me repeat that, I THINK, that I will be able to eventually drink in moderation. Obviously before any such thing could be attempted there would need to be extensive sober time to break the cycle and extensive personal growth having dealt with all those things I was covering up with use. I think that I will know when this time has come and that it will not be a mad dash to the store for beer, that would be a red flag that the cycle is not broken. I dont know, maybe that day will never come, when I know that I could use recreationally, and if it doesn't, I will be fine with that. I guess Id like to think that I will eventually be healthy enough that it wont make a difference either way. Opinions?!
