Wish i could post about how everything is so great with my easily won sobriety. More power to these fortunate folk.....
Our addiction loves the victim mentality - I drink cos I'm an alcoholic...
There's thousands of alcoholics right here on the site who don't drink Brad.
Is it a lot of effort? Sure, especially in the beginning.
You might find it the hardest thing you've ever done...
but it's so very much worth it
If having a disease is stopping you from doing anything about that disease, you're totally on the wrong track.
Alcoholism is a condition that can be stopped ...anyone can do that, with a little commitment and determination
