I fell off the wagon after two years of sobriety......I am well aware of the power alcohol can have and how it can draw you back in.......it just blows my mind when you think about the grief and hell it causes yet we have all went back to it for comfort ( I use the word comfort very loosely as it causes horrific discomfort )......I just get up and deal with the day ahead....I don't say the words "I will never drink again" because I've been there. One day at a time.....that's how it goes for me. And I don't act impulsively anymore......when I do crave, I think it out and play the whole scenario out in my mind. When I get to the part where I am hungover, depressed and dry heaving, the desire is gone. I haven't had a craving in a while but I know it will happen again. That's all we can do.....we just have to deal with it in the right way.
