Instead of engaging in a daily struggle with my "alchie" part, I promised it I will never drink again. Its kinda pissed and I'm glad.
Actually I edited this because , I don't see it as 'whatever gets me through my life( a pessimistic , determinist view)" but as how best to live my life to the fullest
I get that but I know that I cannot claim I will never drink again. Its impossible. But for the next 24 hours ? That I can do, and even then I need help.
I can only speak for myself but I have promised myself, time and time again, that I would never drink again and within days I was. The notion of 'forever' is just one I cannot grasp.
But today ? Yep, that I can get my head around.
Obviously its all horse for courses but I have had to stop fighting, and baiting, the alchie part of me and just accept that it is there and always will be. And it is willing to give me a break when it comes to just not drinking for the next 24 hours. I have to be grateful for that.
