I'm New again

but I, over the past year, have quit for months at a time, started back for a few weeks to a few months, and gone back sober. You know what's funny? When I quit, I consider it the best decision I ever made, but when I drink again, I consider it the most frightening choice I could ever make but can't seem to stop.

Know why? Withdrawal. Scares the absolute hell out me! it is the threshold between life and death, and I don't care what anyone says...everyone is afraid of death. The whole purpose of life is survival, and the antithesis is death.

But enough of that... met with my AA sponsor and like him a lot. He calls me everyday and has been sober 30 years. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
Very human. Very real.

Nice to see you, GMO.

I can't tell from your post; are you in a sober period now?

Have you been prescribed Librium for help with withdrawals?

Glad to hear that you are giving sobriety another try.

Well, the physical part of withdrawal is only about three days. The Librium will make that comfortable and not even difficult.

It's learning to live and love life sober that is long-term. No time like the present.

I live a very boring, mundane life in spite of burning passion inside. I wanna live an exciting life but don't know quite know how. The most exciting thing to me right now is my 12 gauge in my closet. Seriously. I'm not Curt K0bain,.
