We are not talking about choices in life, in general here.
This is about alcohol.
I am talking about alcohol, I am an alcoholic. The choice came when I admitted it. When I finally after 25 years admitted I was one, then I had a choice.
Do something about it or not. Simple really. I am not saying it was simple to stand by that choice, it was not, it was f*cking hard, but it was my choice just as if I decide to pick up again, it is my choice.
I have tools to use and people I can call, it is my choice to use them and to call them, if I don't, if I chose not to then it is because I want to drink, simple.
I am no longer fooling myself into thinking I can drink again. I can't, period. If I do, it will be my choice. I would have to drive to the store, buy it, drive home and drown myself. That would be a choice.
