At least make it fair by not buying alcohol when your trying, you recognise a problem & its early days I get that but it makes no sense buying alcohol & if your goal isn't abstinence why are you sober today
Your sober today as deep down deep deep down you know your 'insert label here'
I know I'm alcoholic I can't drink safely nor responsibly (believe me I tried) your no exception no one is alcohol has no bias or discrimination
Crush your AV with gratitude
SW,
this position makes a certain amount of sense to me. There was a time when I was not reconciled to being alcoholic, when I hoped my problem would be of some other cause, where I had not yet fully understood the seriousness of my situation and how limited my options really were.
In that space I did what came naturally. I might have been thinking about the possibility of remaining abstinent, but I wanted to keep my options open. My alcoholic life was the only normal one, and I reserved the right to have a drink at some future time if I wanted one.
In that position, I was still able to hear the message about sobriety, and work through the options. Later I reached a point where I was convinced abstinence was the only option.
That's is how it was for me. Not saying it is the same for you, wheeling dizzy.
