) and I acted like an ass. So if I don't do that next time - I will be fine, thus, I really don't have a problem. It was just this one time......
I would think, well if I don't "accidentally" go over that imaginary limit of drinks where I am going to act like an ass, I will be fine. That stupid logic kept me drunk with a huge problem for years. The major flaw in that logic is that it starts with the sober mind trying to tell the drunk mind what to do. "Ok drunk mind, you only can have 10.24433452 drinks, if you do that, you will be fine, no one will ever know". Like that was ever really going to happen....

Excellent work and thanks for sharing, very inspiring indeed. Your story resonated with me on so many levels. I'm coming up on the three year mark in about a month.
I'll tell you the same thing my sponsor always says to me whenever I'm waxing philosophical about how great the sober life is.
"Don't worry," he says, "it gets better." (with a smile and a wink).
