esinger

My life. You ever watch someone slowly dying from liver failure? Ugly ain't it. And of course my wife.

I have not esinger, but I don't think I'd judge them if I did... I think most deaths are undesirable 'cause it ain't living!

Not having one drop of anything with alcohol. I have to "dummy down" my sober muscle. Keep it simple . Complication invites rationalization.

Time certainly strengthens all the sober muscles. In the beginning it was not wanting to live with the daily consequences and drudgery of maintaining an active addiction.
It soon became a commitment to myself to quit and stay quit spurned on by battling that smallish but ever present 'voice' in my head, the one that didn't think I could, just the sheer determination to show it I could.
At some nonspecific point I realized I was in fact doing it , it wasn't a question if I could anymore , and accepting that it never really was in question. I beat the defeatist attitude/voice and realized that I had been building up and giving power to that voice all along.
Now it's knowing I can't unknown what I know, not only can I stay quit, I prefer it, ya know? How could you not?

My potential is my number one sober muscle. My desire to maximize every ounce of my potential rather than be a sad, mediocre slob keeps me sober. I am the sole engine that drives my fate, and as such, I want the driver to have clear eyes.

I guess the thing that keeps me 'working out' for my recovery and keeping my sober muscles toned is the life I have.

I don't want to lose it, cos it's pretty darn good
