Everyones different...some like to put 'it' behind them and never refer to 'it' again.
I'm not like that
I don't go around living in fear ...I don't fear shark attacks either but I don't swim in the unnetted water.
This is not a slap against anyone else least of all Gerb, but for me it's important I remember I'm an alcoholic - cos, lets be honest, I forgot a lot of times....
to me accepting the label keeps it real...to not acknowledge the past means I may indeed become blase, over confident, and forget about it....I've done it before
