TOPIC: If You Take One More Drink, Smoke, Shot. You'll End Up What?

Hi Im Sharon an Im an Alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.

If you take one more drink, smoke,
shot. U'll end up what?

If i recall one last drink never happened.

I could say one more drink and
that's it, however there was many
more before I eventually staggered
out the door. More than likely I
would end up puking on the side
of the road. Or id end up racing
another car at a stop light. Or
in a strangers bed. Or crashed on
the side of the road less than
a mile from my house. Or attempt-
ing to end my misery with a hand
full of pills and the remaining
gulp of wine

How about you?

I know where I will end up.
Broke. running around wasting time and gas.
Hating life. Looking and feeling pitiful and knowing it. But still chasing it.
Lose my family and my job again.
May end up in jail or dead that round.
Too much work in all that.
I will stay put..Thank you

It wouldn't surprise me if I ended up dead fairly quickly with two heart attacks under my belt-& ALWAYS having to smoke cigars when I drank, especially whiskey. Getting mad & quitting my job. LOW companions. LOW housing. Slave-labor job for mininum wage. Did that for years.Happy just making enough for the rent & lights, a little bit of food ( don't know HOW LONG I lived on a loaf of bread & a couple of packs of weenies!). As long as I could get BOMBED out of my mind EVERY night. What a life, huh? Think I will stick to my suntea..............

i love these topics you come up with sharon, real cool.

hmmmm judging from my past, when i stay abstinent for a decent amount of time and then go out again I usually end up doing way to large of a dose and end up falling out. Then wake up 10-20 minutes later with my friend punching and shaking the sh1t out of me to try and wake me up.

If that lucky fate didnt happen I would probably end up with a huge cherry slurpie in my car barely awake. Just sitting in the parking lot in my car nodding off for hours and hours, then looking for it again the next morning wanting to spend twice as much money as the night before.

Jeez I remember I used to think this lifestyle was so glamarous and fun, hahaha god wha t a joke!

Within a day or two I would have myself convinced that I did OK with that one I could probably handle another one. Within 2 months I would be back to the marathon drunk that I spent the majority of my adult life on.

If I pick up a drink I will probably moderate for a couple weeks, but I know that eventually It will turn into daily drinking along with all the problems which that brings.

If I had even one drink, I'd soon end up back where I was, and it's not a place I want to return to. Not drinking at all is the only way I'll stay safe, so I"ll not drink at all.
