YAY. Another chance. To do things differently. Better. Sometimes ya have to lose everything to figure out where your priorities really are. Congratulations on having the opportunity!
Oh rock on....I don't expect to see a post for a few days as you guys make up I am pulling for you both and you seem to be doing the work that is necessary... *grins from ear to ear*
hey my dear brother and occasional sparring partner, I'm hoping the two-day absence is because you are working out the love with Dilli. I've not been a slave to booze, but I've had a needle in my arm, so I definitely know the black valley, and how it can return. I'd say we live beyond the cravings, y'know? they are there, but think of them as tax men: something you don't want to tangle with. Most days they are whitenoise, so I can say that time of my life (gone 20 years now) is past. my prayers and energy are yours for this battle. loving you for real, dm
Alcohol has the potential to destroy any human. Nothing to mess with. It should be up there with heroin and crystal meth as far as reputation goes, but it's considered okay by our society because it's an American institution and it's profitable for many people. I was a heavy drinker in the last year and now I'm watching myself very carefully with my drinking. It's a matter of priorities, and for me those good (really good!) feelings that last a few hours don't outweigh the health risks (brain damage, stress on your body's system and many of your organs) and difficulty with relationships that alcohol creates. You need to think long and hard about all the things you have in your life, and how alcohol can take them away from you and realize for yourself why it's unnecessary in your life. YOU DON'T NEED IT. You only think you do. Get your priorities straight and you will soon be able to boot it out of your life.
everything is fine here, 4 weeks tomorrow sober. an i ain't looking back,. ive spent the last 27 years trading addiction for addiction. ive done needles as well, hell ive done everything. its time for a change, it was long overdue. i spent 27 years feeding my addictions while others around me picked up the slack. never again. me an dilli are fine, we've began getting all the things ive procrastinated over here done. tis why i aint posted, busy busy. lots to do. anyway, just wanted to let everyone know not to worry, im fine, an me an dilli are fine. strange, there really wasn't anything to work out when she came back. because her stipulations for coming back,i had already decided that those things were what i needed to do before she ever stipulated them. so its all good. once again, thanks everyone for caring, blessed be you. love n light.
Hey dude, kudos on your decision! Alcohol messed up my closest friend, and I detest it so much. It's always good to hear people leaving that vice behind. Rock on, and lots of peace and love from Buffalo!
I'm so very proud of you! Remember that you are beautiful and that we are here for you every step of the way. We love you! shine on
