[QUOTE=Dee74;4458565]Whereas thinking like that would kill me. Personally I prefer to retain a healthy degree of scepticism with opinion or advice that's not first hand experience.
But for me being afraid of booze has never worked. I have been in and out of sobriety for many years. I think sometimes when I would relapse I felt like it had to be another low bottom. It became a self-fulfilling type prophesy. I would keep drinking until I reached another low bottom incident.
