I'm gonna have to throw the flag on that one Vet. The human body is an amazing and resilient creation. But it will listen to the control center...
I know people who will themselves sick because they are so good at it - a family member. Psycho-somatic illness is very real.
I know people who have willed themselves back to good health from an illness.
A good attitude and a positive outlook are conquerors.
Just because other people drink everyday, why do we envy them? How do we really know their life is grand? Let's not look at what others do and we 'can't'. That is the alcoholic mind think. He drinks so why can't I? I got to tell you I heard an interesting twist to that. Someone said to me they wished they didn't drink. Interesting huh?
A positive outlook and feeling of well being can make us better.
I want you to get a copy of "Full Catastrophe Living" by Kabat-Zinn
Start at the very beginning - read everything! Don't just go into the main body of the text and start the chapters. Do this for yourself.
You are not too far gone... that's nonsense.
