Take it to the Limit...
That's exactly what I did while I was drinking. For a long time, I drank to the point of oblivion and "took it to the limit". I did so in many ways: my relationship with myself, my health, my relationship with my son, my relationship with my now husband. It's all taken it's toll and now it's about getting sober and finding a healthy way to take it to the limit. "You can spend all your time making money, you can spend all your love making time, if it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine?" I have to ask myself that question about not only those around me, but of myself as well. 14 days today and feel good. Have moments where the turbulence is enough to trigger that urge to pick up a bottle but is it worth it? No! Emphatically no no no no no! Will it always be that easy to tell myself that? Nope. Alcohol and my dependent mind are cunning advisaries that I need to use every available option sometimes to keep at bay. I will do this one day at a time. If I relapse, I will not beat myself up for it but I will take stock in what lead me to do it, what I didn't use to help keep myself sober, and change that. I will be honest about my relapse, with myself and with others. One day at a time...

Take it to the limit one more time is an awesome
line song by The Eagles, Joe Walsh (who is also
in recovery)and the rest of the band members.
Listening to an old time favorite and it's words
comparing it to our drinking fits perfectly.
We dont have to live like that anymore with a
program of recovery to live by a day at a time.
I know I have since 8-11-90.

I see a counselor once a week, working with a pyschiatrist too to help with anxiety and depression, visited with my general practioner to make sure there wasn't any physical damage I've done to my body, and attend church and speak with my pastor. Plan to attend my first F2F meeting next week.
