Good Morning Weekenders
I was watching a police drama on tv and they mentioned the usual Friday night carnage in town centre. I know many problems in real life are alcohol induced.
When I drank I had a nice side and aggressive (argumentative) side. Maybe it’s there even when I’m sober but I don’t ‘feed’ the aggressive side with booze.
My mum used to say my dad was like Jeckyll and Hyde ‘and turned’ when he had booze.
Initially I used booze to free me from everything that hurt and worried and and even frightened me. It was a great release which I’m sure many of you understand and maybe experienced too.
I didn’t realise how much I would come to depend on it to live, whilst it was doing the opposite and destroying me.
So pleased I stopped when I did before it really destroyed me.
I’ll get off my soapbox now.
If you’re reading this and recognise how alcohol has took hold of you and want to be out of its clutches, please stay around. The likeminded people here at SR (SoberRecovery) helped me on the Recovery Road. We can help you too.
It is well worth the journey. Life saving for me.
Love to all Weekenders xxxx
