Lionhearted1

I can't lie I did have some amazing times drinking so it's impossible for me to sit here and say that alcohol did not have its positives at sometime.

But eventaully the games up and the good times turn to nightmares and for someone like me trying to recapture them old days will lead me to a few places death jail or the nut house, so I had to say goodbye to alcohol forever...

My 30 year drinking career can be summarized as follows:

1) Fun

2) Fun with problems

3) Problems

All the best,

It was fantasizing about the good times that kept me relapsing over and over. I kept insisting I could find that old euphoria again - and this time I'd be more careful. Of course it never worked - all attempts at drinking normally ended in disaster. I'm glad you're thinking this through, lionhearted.

I think SD Surfin summed up my drinking career as well.

When I think back about the old times it has such an unreal sense to it. The experiences were not authentic, everything was shadowed & controlled by booze. So thankful the "good ol days" are in the past, gone but never forgotten in sobriety.
