Great,
When I was younger I got into trouble w booze and had to go to awareness classes.
I didn't pay attention. I didn't learn. 30 years later, the Internet saved me.
When I learned about the science of my addiction I have been able to embrace sobriety.
It is all about getting our dopemin and endorphin production normalized. I believe booze alters this.
My wife, pretty much a non drinker for life, just sits around and gets happy. She cycles into frustrating occurances, but several times a day, she is just a happy girl.
Normal dopemin .
I am still not there, at 2 plus years sober. But, I know this and am willing to except it. I know that booze will reverse the hellishly earned progress I am making.
I believe it takes several years to naturally heal. I believe drinking would quickly reverse all that progress.
Knowing this a huge part of the strength in turning a proud shoulder to brain altering substances forever.
Thanks.
