I have tried countless times to quit for good by myself....... longest was 15 months and then just like every good alcoholic I made up my mind I could control it and be moderate about drinking.......WRONG!!!!! We that are truly alcoholics will NEVER
be able to drink normally and that makes me sad and pisses me off
, however reality is reality I can climb in a bottle and enter my own world or stay out of the bottle and be in my wife's world, my sons world, my friends world, my dogs world, my cats world, mother nature's world, God's world. Some choice huh? 60 days sober today, "this time". The difference now though is I have re-enforcements....my AA family
we meet twice a week and it is wonderful and I actually see an alcoholic free future and no longer dread it but am embracing it.
