This class is far enough from our final car crashes of pre April 2015 that some of our memories of the terror has faded a bit around the edges and we sometimes wonder to ourselves if things were really as bad as we seem to think they were.
Now is not the time to put on the rose covered glasses and think that maybe things will be better this time if we give the ole drink another shot. That's why I have been focusing on learning more about addiction, reading books and listening to recovery podcasts. Our brains underwent neurological changes during our heavy drinking that do not get repaired after stopping. We will always be susceptible, unfortunately, to the pull of our AVs. Just understanding that fact has helped pull me through the moments when I thought maybe one drink wouldn't be too bad.
Great job for seeing through that OMD!
Have a great day all!
