Heya
 
I'm.. well, definitely not going to tell you my name, but my situation is.. I got really lucky, in that I got a severe wake up call just in time before it got super bad. I mean I was behaving in a terrible manner to the people about me, and my personality was changing much for the worse. So it was already super bad.

But I got lucky in that for me, quitting was as simple as getting really angry, pouring out my rum, and then never drinking again. It was ludicrously easy. Sometimes ofcourse, I think that maybe I could have another drink and it would be okay, but I know that this was my -one- shot at having it easy. So I've never drank again.

The reason I'm here, is that... Well, basically I need to find out if having the curse can make you generate false memories. Does anybody have any experience with that?

Thanks...

Having what curse? You mean alcoholism.

No, I have no false memories of my drinking years.

Welcome. Not for me Devil. I wasn't really one to black out, or in answer to your question, "remember" things that never happened.
That would be scary I'd imagine.

There are plenty of times where I can't remember anything, but I don't have experience with false memories.

Good work on staying sober! That is amazing :)
