In May of 1999 I decided that after 7 years sober..maybe I wasn't like others i'de seen in AA, maybe I could have 3 beers a game durning the stanley cup finals....
That lead back to my old level of drinking within a month....and an 8 year drunk that I could not figure out how to stop....drunk 24/7 .
I got sober for 2 years next...and decided that I was going to drink 1 bottle, 1 day over some emotional crap that had been building for a year....That lead to 6 months of drinking. I went to treatment 3 times the last 6 months, always picking up again when I left....as soon as i was home and away from the eyes of others...it was on again....
I've been sober and unsupervised since December 31, 2009...so I guess this is my thread class
Just sharing with you how my "decisions" to drink always turned out...
today...I am happy, and feel like my life has done a 180 on me ...it's great..
