Chalk up another binger here...I never met a bottle I didn't like at the end.
Like Shifty, years ago I had a really high tolerance level.
As time went on and it started catching up with me, I played all the games...drink only on weekends, then never before 5pm, then only drinking beer, then only wine, yada yada yada...it wasn't long before I was drinking day and night, rain or shine.
The arsenal of tools I built up in early recovery (meetings, counseling, phone numbers, sponsor, reading, staying connected with sober people) still help to keep me on a sober path, but none so much as recalling my last days of hangovers so bad that I was praying to die.
I never, ever want to go back there and one drink is all it would take because for me, one is too much and 100 isn't enough.
Take care and stay connected ~
