On Day 3
2 sober days behind me.
This is the first time I've used any sort of support group. It's the first time I've been honest about my problem.
Used to be that I would tell myself that I was just having fun, that I just need to be a little more responsible, that the "best" life included drinking, that it was ok to have off days after having so much "fun".
I've been losing this fist fight with alcoholism for my entire adult life, because I've been trying to go punch for punch.
I have the one and only knock out blow in my arsenal....quitting. I don't have to fight it anymore. I don't have to have those mornings. I don't have to try rationalizing. I can just quit. Then my battle is with my habits, my routines, my beliefs, my perspectives...with me....but not with alcohol.
