Day 27 and I think I have finally

Accepted the fact I can't drink, I was thinking about this last night, and before I was always saying why me, others can drink etc etc basically self pity, now I am thinking more that as long as I have peace of mind and myself and family are happy and healthy that's all that matters to me, instead of fighting it, I am starting to embrace the change, I know I will have tough times in my life, but that's life, as long as I stay sober I can deal with obstacles in a rational way, have a great day/weekend everyone and stay strong

Mum,

My lack of education about booze helped me to periodically drink daily, day drink, and start and stop hundreds of times.

I needed some medical issues to shake me up enough to quit past a week or so.

Once I hit 90 days clean or so, I became impatient that I was still feeling off kilter.

I am now nearly 1000 days clean and sometimes I feel great, others I am off kilter.

I call it my PAWS. The brain damage is deap. It is real. If I get drunk again, I will suffer again.

I will never fully recover from my addiction. It is a chronic condition.

SR has save me from relapse over and over. Reading here keeps the fading memories of why I quit alive.

I pray eventually I will rewire enough that I won't crave any more. Until then, I will take my crave suffering as a reminder that I am a little jacked up from my drunkard ways.

It is my life now.

I don't envy drinkers. Drinking is an addiction for way more people than advertised. If a person routinely consumes 14 units a week, plus periodic binge, they are addicted for life. That level of drinking will expedite their demise.

The world according to D122y.

Thanks.
