If you bought alcohol, no matter what grade it is, alcohol
is alcohol. And alcohol is a poisonous, chemical substance
which alters the mind and body and is toxic for an
alcoholic like those of us who have no control over what
it does to us.
For many of us we have no business buying alcohol. We
can not entertain the thought that maybe one day we will
be able to drink it successfully. Ever. Period.
Maybe some wait for that permission for another to give
us the go ahead and drink so we wont have to take responsibility
for our actions. Maybe if someone else says it okay to take
a small sip we wont feel guilty as much.
In the long run, for an alcoholic to drink would either
mean we will end up drunk again, crazy and the merry
go round of drunken insanity or death.
If we have had some time sober, no matter how much
time without a drink, we will be picking up exactly where
we left off and it will be progressive, fast.
Surrounding ourselves, those of us who can't drink,
with others like us in recovery, who wont give you
permission to drink, will guide you to learning how to
live a happy sober life.
It will take time before it will get better, but we promise
you that it will if you want it bad enough. Surround yourself
with folks who will support you each step of the way.
Through good times or bad.
The longer you move away from your last drink the better,
healthier, stronger you will be down the road. This is your
time to hold tight to your recovery support to guide you,
teach you to learning how to live a continuous sober life
ahead of you.
