but, I could have achieved much more in life
if I would not have become a drunk
job promotions, relationships and the list goes on and on
The thought of me drinking today makes me sick
I thank God for the lack of any desire today to drink or use.

Good question. Right now the answer would be one of ambivalence. The decision to drink was mine and mine alone. It was a conscious decision on my part to drink. To say I hate alcohol would be saying I hate myself.
I do hate what alcohol did to my life. I had an alcoholic father and, know how that affected my youth. I'm beginning to realize how my alcoholism adversely affected my adult life.
Maybe the answer is one of forgiveness. Forgiving ourselves. Forgiving those who may have hurt us through their alcoholism. Most importantly hoping for forgiveness from those who we hurt through our alcoholism.
