Happily Sober
I took my friend to the emergency room with alcoholic pancreatitis. He could not stop throwing up because that's what happens when your pancreas can't release digestive juices into your digestive tract. Whatever you eat builds up, causes excruciating pain, and your body rejects it.
The pancreas actually releases chemicals that cause it to start digesting itself. It gets inflamed and cells die repeatedly - to the extent that it causes pancreatic cancer which is lethal. Cancer has the chance to occur anytime your body replenishes dead cells. Pancreatitis causes cell death at such a rate that it greatly increases the likelihood of sufferers to get pancreatic cancer.
F*** alcohol. For people that are dependent on it, I feel for you. Your brain thinks it needs it to survive - and in a way, it does because withdrawal is hell.
I'm happily sober. Please do what it takes to join me.

This is such a rude awakening to me, that I've decided to go to AA meetings every day because I know I've been dying to "slip." There's no way in hell I'll survive a slip and I'll just hurt my dad if I do. So here's me calling myself out, I suppose...
Glad you are happily sober too.

Im also happy to be sober. And to join the Winners.
I finally have a chance now to accomplish my highest life mission without that ball and chain of alcohol weighing me down.
My only regret is not escaping the prison of addiction sooner. As long as I dont fall for the mental trap of "envying" the social drinkers that can moderate their intake of poison "responsibly" then i dont have to feel like I am missing out.
The drunks are the ones "missing out". I pity those fools as they squander their money on expensive alcoholic drinks and then wake up with throbbing headaches in the morning.
What freedom to be released from this prison of addiction....for me the alcoholism stopped "being fun" about 10 years ago.
