Like I said oin the monthly thread, sometimes our inner addict can be so persuasive...
some of my inner addicts all time hits includes such favourites as
- everyone does it
- it will help relieve the pressure
- you can start again tomorrow
- one more night will help you to be sure you're doing the right thing!
- maybe I overreacted by quitting completely
- if I manage to control myself tonight maybe I can have a couple of beers/wines/spirits at Xmas
if some of them sound pretty darn persuasive - make sure of your footing.
THEY'RE ALL LIES.
I listened to some of that, and went out for 'one last night'...didn't get back to sobriety for over 2 years.
There's an enormous amount at stake every time we decide to drink again.
Sadly some of us never make it back top get another try at recovery.
