I read a thread the other day asking how would you cope with sobriety if something REALLY bad happened. Well I had two heartbreaking things happen today, I won't bore you with the details, but I had no desire to drink whatsoever. I have been sober for a good few years but today was a very testing time. I think I have murdered my AV and buried it at the bottom of the sea forever. So I suppose I am saying that eventually you can really lick this thing good and proper, If someone has told me that 10 -15 years ago, I would never have believed it. Thanks for listening xxxxx

I have had bad things happen too, and each time I am just so glad I do not drink. I don't think I could handle it as well drunk. Happy to be sober.

Our first reaction when we have recovered and in sobriety is not to drink. Its an amazing feat, accomplishment. But life happens, and people die, its just life and human nature. So to think that when we stop drinking that we are immune from life, and life will start to happen in a bubble is just another fantasy.

No it would definitely make things worse. Shame it took me so long to figure that one out xxxxx

Bad things have never been a problem for me, success has been my undoing.
