Hi Im Sharon and I am an alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
"POISON" since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely
grateful.
The First One. First drink
definitely has the last say
as to what will happen to
u afterwards. Right?
If we continue to repeat
drinking or using experiences
then it has to force us to
come up with this logical
conclusion......
If we do not take the first
drink or 1st pill then we
never get drunk or stoned.
Instead of planning to
never get drunk or stoned,
or try to limit the number of
drinks or pills....
Then all we have to learned
is to concentrate on only that
1st drink or that 1st pill......
the very first one.
In my experience i could never
have JUST ONE drink. Today
yrs later sober, in my mind, one
drink still would never be enough
to satisfy the cravings i have for
alcohol.
That 1st drink led to another
then another and forvever till
consequences happened. Till
i hurried home at 2am and
ran off the road in possibly
a black out hitting a concrete
culvert sitting on top the ground.
Now why couldnt i have had 1
drink at the club, came home
on time and every thing would
have been hunky dorky...lol
I would have not ended up
in the hospital for 10 days
so messed up.
That one drink led to another
rollercoaster ride crashing
hard and almost ending my life.
Family intervention saved my
life and recieving the tools and
knowledge of my disease in a
28 day rehab along with doing
whatever i needed to do to
stay sober one day at a time
to get me to 19 yrs of many
1 days at a time collected to
today.
It's not the last drink that
will kill u but the first one
of many.
