"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

O, I guess I stopped again for good, by choosing freedom and reducing my whole addicted mess down to 'my hand/mouth are under my control' no matter what.

BG hit it out of the park and I especially liked:
The demons that took my heart and stole part of my soul were going to get weaker and weaker, the longer I stayed sober. Eventually, there would be a day where I'd feel some sense of ...well.....peace.
Nobody gets "struck" drunk. It's a premeditated decision and that's why we feel shame about it. Or not.
I was thinking about you today and I really dont understand. I know none of this is logical, but this is making you miserable and yet you persit. WHY??
And dont tell me becuase you are addicted, we all are -- but why are your drinking right now and making yourself so desperately unhappy.
As Tats said, its all about stopping the pattern and as SH said giving yourself time to heal. But for now its about stopping. Not tomorrow for Tiger -- now for you.

I don’t know how it is for you and I wish/hope there’s another way, but maybe detox is necessary?
Although I was starting to see what true multiple day benders (starting/never ending in the mornings) could be like towards the end of my drinking, I was always still able to stop myself for at least a few days at a time. I know it could and would have gotten worse if I’d continued. If you can’t stop yourself, you know what needs to be done..

O, you've written a lot about Daniel Tiger, seem to have faith in him. Is he an addiction therapist? Or just a sounding board/friend? Because you wrote a few weeks back, after your last relapse, about consulting him three times a week, yet here you are now.
Something needs to change, O, your mindset, a new therapist, ask Daniel if he can contribute anything more to stop your relapses, and if not, recommend someone else....or maybe yourself?

I said over and out, but as a last post in your thread I'll write this:
When I relapsed after two and a half years, you were one of the people on SR that dug me out of the alcohol pit and placed me back on my sober feet. I will be forever grateful to you, O.
I hope someone translates my posts to you, because I don't judge you, and I don't understand why you say that. I feel so sad that you're attacking me, in your thread.
