Now I tell myself "Im going to die if I do that"....and I mean every word.
In the past I used to tell myself "I'm going to hurt my son, I may not show up to take care of my Father, my sister might need me for something, ANYONE could need me for anything and I shouldn't be drunk, (heres the worst I used to tell myself - I can drink tomorrow).
Or I just used to try and pray thru it or call someone.....and all of these things failed to work for me......
So now...its just the facts...."I'm going to die if I drink". This is not true for many, especially the younger people....they may not die from drinking and some could....but as I aged this definitely has become a real possibility and the fact that I didn't die 16 or 17 days ago is a miracle...and I don't have any more chances....I CAN drink again if I want but I won't make it out next time.
