So far gone before you drink...two days away once you do.
Memories fade but the fact remains, we stay alcoholics.
I had to truly believe that any thoughts of drinking, no matter how long it's been since I've drank, is the insanity of this affliction called alcoholism. That's why I work my recovery every day. Because I am only one day away from being that person I was before I quit.
