Hi, all
Hope everyone is hanging in there! Been busy off indulging in and reckoning with a food addiction and a 30 pound total weight gain and a stress fracture, so I've been busy and not drinking. Or exercising. Of course.
My foot hurts like the dickens. None of my clothes fit. But I'm still sober, married and employed. So bam, killing it! (Not.)
Anyway, hope the site has been free of diseases, accidents, deaths or imprisonments: what's in store for us if we continue to return to drinking. I'll take the weight gain. It's easier to correct than liver failure (although eating could get me that also), family dysfunction, wrecked relationships or death.
Is it easy to face life with all its difficulty? No. Is it easier than the ******** of alcoholism? Yes. It just takes time to see it.
