day 500 is over
I used to drink 2 bottles or more of wine a night , quite a few or spirits at the weekend .
I used to white knuckle my stand-by week sober.
I had blood pressure on mondays after the weekends unrestricted drinking of 180/120 .
I used to drink coffee by the pint to try and get sober .
I used to always have breath mints on the go .
I quite often had a purple tounge .
I must have often been over the drink drive limit the morning after the night before and couldn't judge gaps well .
I used to sweat all the time and would only wash when i could smell myself .
I was anxious and angry .
I used to only brush my teeth to try and get rid of purple gums / purple plaque .
I used to leave things in the oven , under the grill and burn them set the smoke alarms off .
My hands used to shake all the time .
I drank and dialed people at odd times drunk.
I drank and e-mailed people drunk .
I had blackouts the longest lasting 4 days .
I slept with people who didn't care for me .
I just gave things of value away i couldn't afford .
I found it hard to say no to people .. i had 14 dining room chairs piled up in my livingroom all different , unable to use the room because i had too much stuff people had given me .
I lost all my friends .
I lost all my lovers .
I lost 2 houses .
I nearly lost my relationship with my mum and dad .
I went bankrupt in two countries .
What damage is yet to surface in my body from drinking unkown ?
Day 500 is over, living in the moment , in freedom from worry over the past or the future . I do what i can , i try to keep my alcoholic ego in check and try to live humbly and gently .
It is so nice to know i need never drink again , such a relief , my fight is over i have no control over alcohol , my life is way out of control if it includes alcohol .
Other people say my life is monkish and small and what kind of life is it ?
I say it is a sober life , lived by my values , i am of service to those who need me , mums schizophrenia and emphysemia , i work and earn more than i spend . i have food, a roof , clothes , hot water , no debts .
When i go to sleep i am content , when i wake up it's with wonder at what can i try to do today .
Living sober is worth it , life drunk is just the pits and as you can see from the above would obviously be insanity for me to consider .
Stay sane , stay sober .
Bestwishes to each and every one of you still in the fight , you are never far from my thoughts ,
Bestwishes, M

Great post. Love how those still brainwashed and conditioned thinks its monkish because you do not pour poison down your throat. In uk press yesterday 200 teenagers have died from ecstasy since 1996, yet 9, 000 teenagers have died directly from alcoHELL . Definitely something wrong somewhere.
