when i got into recovery, the andswer to the question at the end was no:
Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink. Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everything I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing.
Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?
i didnt just realize i had a problem. i knew alcohol was gonna kill me if i didnt kill myself.
there was absolutely no way for this ex drunk to stop drinking if i kept walking into temptation. i had to put getting sober 1st and foremost and learn about me and how to live.
last night i went to see willie nelson with my girlfriend. theres no way i would have gotten through that without drinking 7 years ago.
