At the invincible, one drink won't hurt, stage

The last few weeks I've been battling with my wonderful addictive voice. She's even sent dreams to me several times, 3 nights on the bounce.
I could drink just one glass of wine, hell, I deserve it, how far I've come.

I'm in control, come on by now I proved I'm not dependant on booze.

I'm a big girl for goodness sake. it would be nice to relax with a few glasses in an evening.

It's now got from a glass to a few glasses in an evening. I'm invincible. Booze can't rule my life. I rule it. I say how much. I rule my body.

Thankfully, visiting SR, I realise the pitfalls that we can meet and I ain't falling for it.

Get back, bad words. You ain't conning me. You will poison me, leave me comatosed night after night. No way.

If you're like me please just remember. You can get through it. Keep busy, visit SR, whatever rocks your boat, but do not fall for those sugar coated coaxings.

My flesh and mind have been weak for years. I'm standing my ground on this one.

Have a great sober weekend, friends.

Been there many times myself. The trick is in not falling for the lies.

You sound like you're doing well.

yep, alcohol is one of the most controlling drugs out there.
your brain will try every trick it knows to get you to drink up.
i usually tell myself a couple times a day " i dont drink- i never drink"

The problem and the question is . . . will it only be 1 drink? . . . I doubt it!!

That's the real lie, 1 drink will turn into a bottle, 1 day will turn into a week long binge, it won't just be 1 drink.

Keep pushing through!!

Hello Mags,
Great post!

This:
Please take a now and a pat on the back
I know you meant "bow" but funny thing, the typo rings true for me. Take a now, be in the moment, listen to what is real and true here and now, make good decisions based on fact, not on a false belief system that has held us prisoner for too long.

Good for you!
