Let's say someone invented a pill...
that allowed us to drink without the consequences, would you use it?
I was musing over this today and thinking, if I was in research and development for some liquor company I'd be working on a pill that allowed drinking without consequences. I am sure this is a dream of many alcoholics.
I am very new to sobriety (just a week) so of course I've not resolved myself to never drinking again. I am working on it but I'd be lying if I said at this moment it is never.
I then thought about this in terms of smoking. I quit smoking cigarettes 20 years ago and have no urge to pick up again. So, if there was a pill that allowed one to smoke without consequences, would I smoke again? My answer was quick and quite loud (in my head)...NO! Whereas if there was a pill that allowed me to drink without consequences, well sign me up.
I am sure this says something about my addiction at this time. I'd also like a pill that would allow me to eat without consequences. Must be my hedonistic nature.
Thoughts?
