Hi there "that place" for me was intoxication. Drink to get drunk. If I'm not feeling the effects of alcohol then it's boring. Why bother wasting the calories. Controlled drinking is so boring to me. So therefore my relationship with alcohol is TOXIC. I can't have ANY! I'm still in the this really sucks phase. But I know it will pass because I was previously sober for almost 2 years and I was so very happy. Then I thought I was cured of problem drinking and started moderation. lol that didn't last very long. Quickly back to the old game that I hate.
