I can't drink like other people, that is the bottom line for me.
I have learned to look at my sobriety as I am just going to stay sober for today. When I use to look at how am I going to stay sober the rest of my life???? i now only say to myself, Just for today I am going to stay sober.
I have a bad allergy to alcohol that some may or may not have, it is up to others to figure it out for themselves, I have it.
I got into AA, for the umpteenth time, and it finally worked for me this time. A light bulb went off, and I finally got it. I am not doing everything perfect, as I am learning, but I am trying. I now have 6 months, and I remember everything I did yesterday, I am not waking up with a hangover, and I feel rested when I sleep.
The important thing for me is that I had to quit looking at the rest of my life and just take it day by day.
