My mindset tells me that drinking is not in the cards, today, tomorrow or ever again.
The human strength will get you to where you want to go. Either up or down. I dont want to drink again. I grew to the point of not liking myself and I feel that I have to like what I see in the mirror every morning or life is all for naught. 45 years of binge drinking created problems for me, physical and mental. Nothing that couldnt be corrected by abstaining I figured out all of a sudden. I am still a rookie at 65 days today, but I had made up my mind that I can live without liquor. No good can come from me having just one drink again. Drinking for me was like a light switch. Its either on or its off. There was no dimmer on my drinking switch. Yes, its one day at a time for me, but I know those days will roll into forever.
Best wishes to all.
