i wont forget my sponsor telling me he knew how i felt.
"yeah sure you do"......secretly thinkng..fu@k off and leave me alone.
he suggested i was cornered by alcoholism.
that alcoholism carrys on being active when im not drinking in my mind....and he suggested i read the doctors opinion in the big book of alcoholics anonymous.
well that a new one on me.....read a book.
lots of things happened when i read those letters from dr silkworth.
i realized i was not alone.
i realized that this doctor knew what he was talking about.
and i realized i wasnt special and different........just a sick alcoholic with no solution.
the rest of the book became the key to a new perception of everyone and everything around me.
not a cliche..........not some bs catch phrase........BUT fact.
i stopped drinking in sep 2000......engaged with my sponsor and completed my first set of steps........i havent drank since.
or felt the need to.
if you want relief from that "spring in the gut".....what you got to lose.
pm me anytime..........
