A Tornado
"The alcoholic is like a tornado roaring his way through the lives of others.
Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead. Affections have been
uprooted.
Selfish and inconsiderate habits have kept the home in turmoil. We feel a
man is unthinking when he says that sobriety is enough.
He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his
home ruined. To his wife, he remarked, "Don't see anything the matter
here, Ma. Ain't it grand the wind stopped blowin'?"
Above Written With Permission Of AA World Services, inc,
Stopping drinking and drugging is not always enough to restore our lives to normal.
We have done great damage.
It may take a lot more for our families to forgive us.
The very best amends we can make is a living amends. Consistently doing the
next right thing to stay clean and sober. Isn't that really what our loved ones
really want?
They are tired of our promises and have heard enough. They want to see action!
And when I say action I don't mean white knuckling it and living in self pity
because we can not drink. Making everyone around us miserable.
Living a daily life of sobriety for me means living by spiritual principles. What are
spiritual principles?
Well I look to the Bible...
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;
It's a change in attitude.
A change in thoughts and a change in behavior.
It is a lifelong process. We have to do more than just talk the talk, we have
to be consistently walking the walk if we are to see the positive changes in our
life and in the lives of our loved ones.

Just A Night Of Safe Drinking
Ever hear someone tell you to play the tape all the way through?
I believe if I were to pick up a drink tonight once I get started I won't be able
to stop.
I'll get an 18 pack of beer along with a pint or so of vodka so I won't go out for
more later. That should be enough right? I'll be safe and just stay home and drink.
No problem right?
Plus I will make sure I don't have any money on me so after I get the booze I won't
be tempted to get drugs later or go to a bar where I might flirt with some guy and
make a fool of myself.
What an awesome plan!
But 12 beers and a half a pint of vodka later my resolve to not drink and drive fades
and getting some pills sounds good. Cuz I am just not messed up enough.
So I go get a cash advance on my credit cards and set out to find some drugs at
the bar..
I get to the bar and forget my resolve to not go to the bar and not flirt with a guy.
I start talking to a perfect stranger thinking that I am hot and he really wants me.
I ask anyone and everyone if they have drugs and eventually find the drugs I am
looking for.
Now I am drunk and as high as a kite buying drinks on my credit card for people
I do not know making myself a prime target for someone to take advantage of.
Then I finally leave the bar as it is closing and go home with some guy and have
sex.
Then I get in my car to drive home and If I don't get pulled over I'll fumble with
my keys to get into the house.
I sneak into bed with my husband thinking he hasn't heard me stumbling through
the house and pass out only to wake up a few hours later hugging the toilet bowl till
I have dry heaves.
In the morning I wake up in a total fog, sick as a dog full of fear wondering what I
did last night looking for my credit card receipts for clues of how I spent my
night.
Then I find a receipt for 159.00 dollars from the bar and a cash advance of 100.00 dollars.
I may remember bits and pieces of the night and then it hits me!
I slept with a total stranger without protection.
Then I'm so depressed and paralyzed with fear that I will literally not be able to
function that day.
Anything I had planned to do that day whether it be work or time with family I will
blow off.
My family will just look at me with disgust and shake their heads once again.
In my mind saying to myself Noooooooooo I did it again!!
The guilt of this night might keep me sober for a day or two but the memory will
slowly fade and I will again plan a night of safe drinking.
Well you know what happens next.
I actually have no idea what will happen if I drink and that scares the living crud
out of me.
Isn't this how we all start out? We plan a night of controlled drinking thinking this
time we can handle it. Then the 1st drink,
Insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
It's the first drink or drug I have to avoid cuz that is the one that leads me down this
road to insanity and after all of that happening , picking up the first drink/drug again a
day later is pure insanity.
Tonight I do have an idea of what might happen if I stay home and away from alcohol
and drugs.
I will spend some quality time with family or watch a movie . I will wake up tomorrow
with no guilt, no fear, feeling well, no shame and able to fufill my commitments.
Nah Tonight I will not drink or drug! I Think I'll take a bubble bath!
How about you?

I practice safe drinking now.
Sometimes I drink all night!
I drink seltzer water instead of wine now.
Still sober at 7:17 PM, and it's my plan to be that way for at least another 24 hours.

What you wrote sounded like me in my early 20's. Damn, those are awful memories of really my really bad drunken behavior . Being an alcoholic hadn't crossed my brainwaves back then. 
I'm so grateful for my life today! Bobbi here checking in for another 24 hours of Recovery.
