Like Dee74, early on in this thread....: "not following you Jade - whats up?" I'm a bit confused by this OP. I see where most are answering #1 above as to their preference (be it alcohol, and what kind, and/or drugs and what kind), and for me I would have to answer..................ALL; didn't really matter to me, as long as it got me high. But, I didn't then, nor do I now, consider any of it/them poison, per se.....
But that's where my understanding of the OP ends.....OK, I understand being truthful, but 'it will help'...?; to what does 'it' refer?.....being truthful in answering, or just naming one's preference? ....and does the phrase 'explain it all' mean for us to explain all about our preference, or will our being truthful and naming our preference 'explain it all'?......again, whatever it is.....?
See.....? I really am confused. Perhaps you could explain this, or expand on it a wee bit.........eh, jade09.........?

but my thought was only an intent to help...others and myself....
I have found my soberity grows WAY stronger when iI can be honest and truthful about it all....finally being able to say...Yeah....I love drinking...i love being drunk...i love vodka....
even though i also hate it....finally fessing up...coming clean...putting it out there....makes me feel stronger..and at this point in my battle, I am trying to find every liitle bit that helps..that makes me stronger, and makes me remember why I have to make the right choice to never drink again....
Just tryin to take the upper hand over alcohol.....???
sorry if I offended

I'm not ashamed of my issue and find it helps to admit to it and why I do it.

AND smoking made me want to drink more.[/QUOTE] I was exactly the opposite- DRINKING made me want to smoke. I embraced nearly every bad habit I could get my hands on, but Alcohol was the worst of them, & I loved marijuana. Smoked cigarettes since I was about 15. To FINALLY be free of those substances is no less than a gift from the Lord his self- there is absolutely NO OTHER explaination for it.

My poison was me. I covered it up with massive amounts of pot 24/7, then washed it all down with some alcohol, but at the end of the day the problem was me. It wasn't until I realized that and started to do something constructive about changing it that I was able to have any kind of chance putting down the substances.

My alcoholism is my poison...
My actions and decisions are what either kill me bit by bit....
or finally allow me to start living again...
Boy I sure love that vodka.....
But I hate it even more...
Btw, your signature made me L-O-L, tyler...

My poison is my inflated ego, in more certain areas than others. I'd always rationalize and intellectualize things in one area when I would be uncomfortable with things in a different area.
Also my thirst for control. And cocaine and alcohol, and hallucinogens/rave culture.
I try to work on eliminating these, although I still slip into those bad character defects. The important thing is that I can recognize when I'm falling into that, now, and change my thought pattern to something self-less or what I consider the right thing to do.
