Re: Newbies Nest Roll Call

Hi everyone, I just want to write a little something, I don't even know if anyone's interested here or not but I want to say what is in my heart anyway. I want to thank you all for being here when I needed you all, slo, Elvis, acowboy, Shirley, Guitar!...to name but a few... I still need you all and I still look in from time to to time, I think about you all. Sorry for going AWOL but I felt this was not my place to post anymore because I drink from time to time now, never get drunk, I even have enough at home to get drunk if I wanted to, I've no longer the desire or need to get drunk nor do I drink during the week, Friday, Saturday maybe one or two here at home or down the local. I don't know why I came in to tell you this, I hope you don't feel envy, I don't know what happened but I dealt with a lot of the situations that were causing me pain, the pain I used to dull with getting drunk, I dealt with my father and other past trauma and soon after that the need to abuse myself stopped. That's why I don't post here. I was thinking I could post x days not being an alcoholic but I guess that wouldn't be fair. I'll drop in from time to time to drop a like and a heart. Sending love to all.

I'm glad you're able to enjoy alcohol and not let it get out of hand (but I'd add the caveat to be careful and listen to your body, cause it can be a slippery slope). I know this doesn't apply to everyone, and some may not agree with this perspective: but I still think that booze, when used in an appropriate manner, can be life enhancing (heck a lot of my best memories involve drinking with friends). If I could go back in time and give myself advice I think (aside from warning myself on how bad it can get), I'd tell myself to enjoy alcohol but use it sparingly for where it's best, as a social lubricant; if you use it as a drug or a crutch you'll end up ruining it for yourself and not be able to enjoy it's benefits at all.
Anyways, here's a summery of story for some more context: https://www.mywayout.org/community/t...-got-here.html
