hello anybody
im not cluey about stuff except with wood, timber. fell into trouble when I drunk alcohol and now 40 years later, i'm over it. It hurts more to drink than not. But I have said that before. it's the pain of being lost in humanscape that I won't endure anymore. So gonna keep trying getting past habit and hope for a gentle landing. To meet people who don't want to reduce me to an asset or loss. hello,
I could see peace instead of this

Hi, erky, and welcome!
Drinking had to hurt me more than it helped me before I was ready to stop, too.

I'm numb now after one day up I got suckered with a shopper docket, save $5 on a 6 pack but then I bought some port as an afterthought. Next time I will kill any idea of having a drink by docket by tearing it up straight away. Start again tomorrow. 10pm here, bedtime. Goodnight all.
Do your best

Many of us marginalize ourselves through drinking. Given our often grandiose plans for the future, this hardly seems possible. Until the very end.
Drinking and being drunk becomes our safe place, something where we settle for an impoverished and potentially lethal version of comfort. We no longer fail because we stop pursuing our dreams. We avoid heartache because we become incapable of loving...or we stop taking the risk to even care. And we stop living because life beyond our protective isolation becomes unbearable.
There's never a bad time to get sober, unless it's tomorrow.
Had I known before I got sober what my life would eventually become, what I was able to make of my life had I put down the drink, and then continued to drink, I would have died of a broken heart.
