2 + 2 does not always = 4

OK, SR.

I'm back . . . .

And I gotta detox again . . . . . its gonna suck.

Why do we do this? Why do I?

Yes, the obvious answer is that I am an alcoholic.

I'm a smart guy. But I am screwing my life up.

Maybe I have drank too many brain cells away.

However much I hate it, its Day 0.

And just so you know 2 + 2 = 65438939849

Welcome back Dalouie

I dunno - I'm a smart guy too - but I believed I was so smart I could beat the odds and manage, somehow, to gain control of my drinking.

No ones that smart - not when alcohol owns you the way it did me.
Accepting that changed everything for me.

It's not about intelligence. Its a visceral thing...I craved drinking.

I needed to break that cycle for good. Abstinence worked for me.

Thanks D. Im not much of a huggin guy, but I would give you one.

That really is the crux of it, isn't it. Alcohol owns me. And I am not the type of person that is owned by anyone.

I did it for two months before. And I was happy. So now its 2 seconds. Then 2 minutes. And who knows. maybe someday 2 decades.
