Good points in this thread.
I don't like to talk about my drinking. I see no point in opening up those scars. It's done and over. If I'm endlessly repeating the same drunkalog I just see no progress.
One day at a time didn't do it for me, I had to go for never ever again. Now I'm working on recovery to the best of my abilities and someday I will be recovered and then I can move on to other things. That is the way I have to look at it.
