AAthlete Hit 9 months AF!
This was so true of my own drinking habits and although I would always swear blind I was going to replace the bottle before I got found out I never did. I may of bought it to replace, but I always drank the new bottle as well!!. The worst part was when we had friends over and my (then) partner went to crack open a bottle of vodka (AARRRGHH!!!) all the time knowing it was 95% water!! It was a complete nerve killer. YEAH! I even used to think just leaving a dreg in the bottom would suffice also. It's so good these days not to be living like that and having the constant worry hanging over me of being found out.It's funny - I always used to think that I was fooling everybody about my drinking. I look back at it now and realize how naive I was. Yep, it's absolutely normal to fall asleep in the middle of the floor and wake up at 2am looking for something else to drink. It's absolutely normal to chug a bottle of wine, refill it with water, stuff the work back in, then glue the top back on. It was absolutely normal to wake watch the clock every half hour on Sunday morning until 11am rolled around, because then I could "go to the store" and pick up my first drink of the day.
AA great news on 9 months sober!! You must of decided to quit drinking properly around the same time as me then, early June!. I'm just over 2 and a half months sober again after my lapse at Christmas but I think a lot of the ground work has been completed. I do take a lot of principles from AA myself and although I don't do the meetings or have a sponsor I have found AA to be very helpful in my own recovery and living sober is becoming gradually easier for me too.
Love and Happiness (and again well done on 9 months sober)
