Hi Everyone:
I read yesterday's thread all the way through. It was funny & encouraging at the same time. We all have our issues, & I'm realizing that drinking doesn't make anything easier. I'm really hoping that abs becomes a way of life for me instead of a daily effort. I do feel the AL grip loosening at times. I try to remember just how destructive AL was in my life: emotionally, physically, & spiritually. There isn't one positive thing I can say about my drinking life. That initial buzz is so fleeting, as to be almost non-existent.
Take heart in the fact that we are all in the same boat. In sobriety, my life has blossomed. I'm realizing that I must take the bad w/the good. For me, there is so little bad. Yes, I have problems, but at least they aren't drinking problems anymore.
I read in the paper this AM about a woman who was given a ticket for DUI. She was 4 times over the limit. I'm sure my husband will shake his head when he reads it. He won't be able to understand how someone would go out in a car in that condition. I know how impaired one's judgement can get when we drink.
Anyhow, I'm just grateful it isn't me. Good luck to one & all. If you haven't been here for a while & have been lurking, please feel free to jump in & share. We've all had our ups & downs, so there is NO judgement.
