Tell me that now amount of vitamins, therapy and medications can make me not be an alcoholic anymore!
Mama I can't tell you that because I don't believe it's true for any of us here.
My surefire test to see if I'm still an alcoholic is -
- get healthy feel great
- wonder whether I'm really an alcoholic or not
- start thinking about a glass, just to see...and completely disregard or willfully forget all the terrible things that led to me seeing help in the first place
I think if my drinking as just a phase the healthy reaction would still be not to drink anymore.
It bought me nothing, it bought catastrophe into my life and relationships, ...and I love myself and my life sober so much more.
If my first thought is to drink again then nothings changed for me - I'm still an alcohlic.
Don't confuse abstinence with control - your life is great because alcohol is no longer in it...not because you've learned control.
