It is true that we forget how bad it was. For myself, I had to fall tremendously hard in order to see that alcohol can and will kill me. I am thankful for the support that I receive on this site. I was in AA for a year, went back into drinking, for no other reason than to drink. I felt like I could. I thought I was able to handle it. The truth, is that I was never able to handle drinking. I am just so grateful to be alive, and to be recovering from all the pain that I put myself in. If I start to feel like I need more support in my future, I will gladly walk back into AA. I know that it works. So far, I feel really good with the forum. Great Post!
