This ain't no game
Point a gun at me and it's the last thing you'll do.
Pull a knife on me and you are in for some trouble.
Threaten me or my way of life and I will obliterate you.
Slam down a rocks glass and fill it with whiskey and I will drink it.
Do it again and I will drink it again.
This is a life or death moment. There's a gun to my head, a knife at my throat and my way of life is about to end and yet.... I will drink it.
A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts.
Not true. A drunk mans words mean nothing. Not a damn thing. Cuz a drunk man will kill himself sooner than save himself.
I know first hand. I held that gun for well over a decade until my hand shook so bad I couldn't hold it any more.
Don't think of that glass over there as passive or inert. Cuz it's not. To stay sober I had to think of it as a bullet or sharp edge ready to slice me open without a thought about it.
SR is a leave no man (woman) behind forum. Every person we come across has a struggle of some kind. So go easy on them. Help them take that gun out of their hand.

No ... thank you... I was reading some threads and I got angry. I mean I would fight for my life for any reason and for any threat. Then I thought about what I am willing to threaten myself with? I got even more angry. Staying sober with this frame of mind is what I need. I realized I am holding the gun. So damn stupid.

I agree and wish all those that struggle well relief.
After all on another day it could be me.
I am just mindful that i don't need to get shot by accident in the struggle if the gun goes off.
I have battled way to hard for decades to be shot down in crossfire!
Self care..
