There is no such thing as a manageable little binge
There is no such thing as a manageable little binge
Just a reminder. Not with a train, not on a plane, not in the privacy of your own home, not by planning the money flow or the exit plan. If you're thinking there's such a thing as a manageable little binge, just clamp down on this avowal: manageability is the very first thing that goes out the window when you embark on that trip. And the reality of unmanageability will exceed your wildest and worst dreams.
Have a good, strong sober weekend, everyone!

Very sound advice!!
Once I convinced myself I could control alcohol, that this time would be different, I was already defeated!!
Changing up my perspective on that first drink was when the penny dropped!!

Thanks so much for posting this. The last time I drank I thought I could have "a manageable binge"... Wrong!!! It was so unamanageable in every which possible way. So here I am on day 26 of my sobriety, again. I'll keep working at my sobriety, but absolutely nothing about that binge was worth it. Nothing!
So true. The big change for me started when I accepted, and didn't just repeat the words to myself and others, that I could not under any circumstances drink safely.
I began to see alcohol as a substance that I, for some reason that I may possibly never understand, cannot use like normal people.
I accepted I am not like normal people.
And, I am okay not being normal in that respect.

This reminds me of Green Eggs & Ham. Not on a train, not in a plane, not in a car, not in a house, not with a mouse, not in a box, not with a fox...
I will not drink alcohol, Sam I Am!!!
