1 is too many and 1000 is not enough.
I really like that AA saying as I am a binge drinker.

It gets easier, after a while the first one you will think of is sparkling water or some other non-alcoholic refreshing drink.

It only takes the first one to guarantee another day 1 filled with shame and self loathing. Not to mention the hangover.

"Not to mention the hangover."

I would love a sweet, old-fashioned hangover.

It's the kindled withdrawals....

It took me many years to get that it was the first one that actually did the damage, not the last one.

Columbus you do know that I was laughing at your "dash, dang, oh, ouch" response, not the seriousness of your question. I would never do that.

I think I've got PAWS too it is absolute crapolla. But I do know that picking up that first drink is only going to make it worse. Double PAWS!

Guess we've just got to bat on and drive into our minds as you say, that one is too many, 1000 not enough.

I have great faith that it will get better. I really do.

I was always a "one more won't hurt. I'll quit tomorrow" type. It's the first that lights the match each one after is a blast of gasoline.

How many more tomorrows do we all have before we run out?

For me, picking up the first one would be akin to playing Russian roulette. It might turn out ok or it might turn out horribly.
I chose not to gamble with my life

If you don't pick up the first one you have zero chance of getting drunk.

Oh, I knew that. I was just making fun of my own STUPIDITY.
