Thanks for sharing that evening with us Laura. It made me remember how critical and mean I became while drinking. I always, always ended up in an argument with my husband, my son, or my mom or her husband. I always did. It was usually over something so insignificant that I couldn't remember it the next day. I am very serious when I say thank you for reminding me about this.

Welcome back to SR!!!

Thanks Laura. Its good that you are able to see now that (like most of us) there isnt a happy medium we can find with drinking. Its that all or nothing relationship that exists whether we like it or not. So we have the option of resenting it or accepting it and the positives that go with it. If we treat it like the true allergy it is for us, then we can embrace the good aspects of not being able to drink - like the fact that we are living in reality and are in control of our reactions. I love being able to wake up and know what i was doing the night before.

Hang in there! We are all in this together!

Being honest, open and willing are the first steps to recovery. Just remember to listen to your gutt...that's God (or whatever your higher power is) speaking to you.
