CLIMBING EVEREST

Maddiva,
I am exactly like you when I drink...incert Al.....instant BITCH...INSTANT....I mean the minute a drop hits my lips it is like a become a demon. I hate the drunk me and trust me so does everyone else. I go from angel to demon in seconds flat. Leaving is not what you need to do.......you need to arm yourself with support to fight this addiction.

M, I think you're right on with the thought approach you've taken. Sobriety is a mt, and it can be a real bitch to climb but well worth when you make the summit. I wish you success, nat

I, like you, and others here, assume an entirely new identity when alcohol enters my body. And it was not pretty! Demonic posession is a mild description of me under the influence. I was pure evil. I was so hurtful to my loved ones, which is opposite of my personality. I am also, unfortunately, very stubborn by nature. Because of that, it took much longer for me to admit that I could not control my situation with alcohol. I kept saying to myself and my family, that I could do this, I could control this. It wasn't until I said, "I can't control this!" that I began climbing my "Everest". One week from today will be 8 months alcohol free! My life and the lives of my loved ones is A-Billion times better, than before. I was alcohol free from 1987 - 1992 (5 years) once before. I made the mistake in 1992, of thinking that I could have just one or just a few. I can't! I can't drink alcohol. Not today, or tomorrow or 10 years from now. Not ever! I will never tempt fate, because if I have one drink, I know that I will be right back where I was ~ when at my worst ~ in the blink of an eye! I never want to go back there! I know that the biggest tool that I needed for my trip up the mountain, was right inside ~ it was me! You can do this! Love to you! Best

i THOUGHT YOU WERE FURTHER UP THE MOUNTAIN. DON'T KNOW WHY JUST DID. WELL YOU WILL SEE THE SNOW, BUT I AM NOT EXPECTING TO REACH THE SUMMIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, COS I AM TAKING IT SLOW AND STEADY. I CANNOT RUSH THIS. COS ONE MINUTE I AM OK, NEVER WILL GO INTO THAT DREADED SHOP WHICH SELLS CHEAP BOOZE NEXT TO MY HOME, THEN THE NEXT NIGHT I AM IN THERE. NOW WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ALL ABOUT? I HAVE EVEN THOUGHT THE ONLY WAY TO RID MYSELF OF THIS CURSE IS TO GET BARRED FROM EVERY SHOP IN MY AREA.......... WOULD THAT WORK? NO COS i WOULD GO FURTHER AFIELD. SO NICE AND SLOWLY IS THE KEY.
