Thought from my journal

As I come up on 1 month -I was reviewing my journal(notes I made Just before my quit date) . Heres a brief thought from it:

...Wow..In a quest to be free (feel good while buzzed every night) Alcohol has actually caged me.
At first Its inviting, then routine, then an addiction - a prison.

Great share, livingnow.

What was once 'fun' or a 'release' quickly captures us, enslaves us; we find ourselves in its painful claws; its binding chains; its cold, damp and narrow cells.

Thank God that it is possible to break free.

Yes, the 'hook' is that alcohol works initially, briefly, but before we know it, we are caught and we can't stop.
