it's worth it.
It's been a while.
My last post was march 2017, I was at my wits' end then as to where I was going with my life-2 failed detoxes under my belt and i'd pretty much lost everything and everyone around me, it's a long and convoluted story to say the least but the long and short of the matter is that in April 2017 I went into detox again for a week-cut all ties with my (10 yrs) enabling (encouraging) ex and while i was there in I had a good deep look at what was going on............I came out of that place and went and bought myself 8 "rescue cans". . . . . . . .I put them in the back room with an expiry date of Nov. 2017.
They're still there.
sorry for the long-winded post but I can't stress enough the power other people have over your behaviour/addiction.....i got shut of mine and broke a THIRTY year drinking problem-and it WAS a problem.
down days are still there but the good days are exciting and being hangover-free is an amazing feeling- still can't believe i've done it myself-I stayed away because every time i came here it was to tell everyone i'd failed again.
I'm back......beer free. . . . . .permanently.

i can look at them now and literally not feel a THING-it's also handy for when the "oh aye yeah" doubters stroll along-nothing shuts them up faster and convinces them.
I get your point though, I suppose my way of dealing with sobriety is to be able to look them cans and think "you've caused me nothing but heartache-so ANY chance of you coming back into my life is ZERO."
Much like I did with the ex.
