Guilt. all of the negative emotions are eating me alive. i'm nearly SIXTY years old, and have basically wasted my life.
And still I drink.............
Michael - thank you for your reply. I am sorry you've not managed to stop drinking yet. Let's face it. Neither have I really? I'm only on day 6 and whilst that's a start (which is better than nothing) it's hardly a decade is it?
Your post is so powerful because it reminds me of Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Future. You offered up your confession (I think?) to show me my own future unless I wise up long term. If this was or wasn't intentional though - that's how I took it. Thank you.
With regards to yourself I hope you begin the road to recovery soon? I'm still not even at baby steps stage yet, but crawling has been interesting. I hope that you join me?
Tony
