Feeling a bit sorry for myself today....
If you find that when you start drinking; you cannot stop, you are probably an alcoholic. Big Book Quote
High "bottom" Low "bottom" doesn't matter. Here's what does, as we look back on our drinking history, we can see it was the beginning of a mere fatal progression. In any event, AA tells us that if we're not convinced we are alcoholics and that it has us down for keeps, then to go out and do some controlled drinking. It might serve you well to get a good case of the jitters to become convinced and willing to listen as the dying can be. Step 1, 12 and 12.
Yeps, self pity can be a b**ch haha the good news is that we have a solution for that
I suffer from it too.
Alcohol is a depressent and normal people don't try to kill themselves with alcohol. Me!
