You are exactly right recycle! And this is the stuff I need to keep in mind. Sometimes things I hear from other alcoholics who took it farther than I have or even things I read in the big book make me think "Well I'm not like THAT." But really I'm on the same path, I just haven't walked on it as long/far. If alcohol is causing me the kind of problems it is now, I can't imagine what it will be like 10 years from now if I keep going.
It's scary though how I can know all this stuff, really know it, but that sneaky deceptive voice of my addiction tries to tell me otherwise.
