Lucky
So... been through another bout of alcoholism, and had my fill.
BUT
Now my girlfriend wants to quit with me.
I feel this, is really the beginning of an epic adventure.
We can support each other through this... im SO happy she's decided that drinking is just bloody pointless too. There was no way I was going to leave her, even through my recovery. I relapsed, through my own fault, but basically, I'm so bloody happy she's decided to join me. I've wanted to give up for BLOODY AGES sorry for shouting people, but, I'm lucky.
It was hell on earth trying to give up by myself, while my other half was still pounding the beers. I'm going to admit i've had a few beers as its her birthday today, but, im still up an writing this, BUT...
SO happy she's looking for something else.
So was I for the longest time, it's so easy to be pulled into drinking.
The fact is, the people we all chill out with growing up, they drink or they don't. And its a matter of subjectiveness.
I just attended Back on Track for my DUI, and I really got a lot out of it...
57% of people in ontario have 2 drinks a week.
6.7% have 25 drinks or more.
3% have DUI's.
If you live in it, you dont know what's outside, and both of us are like that.
We both grew up thinking drinking a shitload was normal, it isn't.
It's a shock to the system, to realise that, you abuse alcohol.
Anyway, this is my last day with alcohol in my system, and I know it. I've had the pink cloud, I've had the relapse, and now that I know she doesn't want this anymore, we can BOTH move forward.
And live a GREAT life.
If I sound cocky, im sorry, but I've been wishing for this for some time now, and, I have it.
Thankyou SR for always being THERE, HERE and right where I need you.
And thanks to all the veterans, you ALL have huge balls. This includes the women.
THANKYOU.
