That "What if I'm not an alcoholic" thought has been COMPLETELY removed.

and I am SO THANKFUL. Gift of desperation? Maybe, but after my slip Saturday I now no longer wonder if I can drink again. This is a great feeling. I am sure my AV will creep up and knock on my door from time to time, but I WILL NOT let it in.

Good morning everyone!

We all need to git rock bottom once to realise its time to get back up, some wont ever hit rock bottom, for myself last saturday was enough,im the evil incarnation of myself on boose and when sober im marathonian, a loving father, not a low life scumbag! Lets all feel proud again, be careful cause the road to hell is paved with good intentions, one day at a time!

Hi. When I first got sober my head was full of complicated what ifs, then someone said simply "we cannot drink alcohol in safety." Bingo, simple.

BE WELL

My last relapse (as horrible as it was) taught me this. I began with good intentions, just having a beer or 2. Fast forward 2 and a half months later I was on H, meth, benzos, amphetamine, weed, suboxone. All together, it was a near death thing.
