TOPIC: Insane Asylum, The Morgue, Or Total Abstinence. Which Will You Choose?
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to take a drink since
8-11-90.
For that and you Im truely grateful.
Alcoholism is a progressive illness.
We go through 3 stages of social
drinking, trouble drinking and
merry-go-round drinking. We land
in hospitals and jails. We eventually
lose our homes, our families, and
our self-respect. Yes, alcoholism
is a progressive illness and there
are only three ends to it -
The insane asylum, the morgue
or total abstinence.
Will you chose not to take the
first drink?
I realized my progression after I
got sober....From Feb 90 to Aug 90
I can now see how quickly my disease
grew....and it was extremely
fast that it's still unbelievable.
When i stopped drinking for those
few months due to a horrible
accident....the disease wasnt
layed to rest emmediately...in
fact it continued to grow inside
me without warning.....then
as soon as i picked up a drink
i picked up right where i left
off.
It was horrible because at that
time i wanted to end my life.
My miserable painful selfish life.
My family stepped in a did an
intervention on me where i picked
up the tools and knowledge of
my disease. Valueable information
that saved my life then and still
today.
Today I choose total abstinence
because i know my disease is alive
and well and growing ever so strongly
inside me....one drink will unleash
the hugest, most powerful creature
i can imagine....destroying everything
in its path including me.
I feel sure my next trip will be the
morgue.
Feel free to share ur thoughts with
me and others here in SR.
Thanks for letting me share.
