That's a wonderful realization to hold onto, Peace. I hold onto that one, too.

simple realization

Peace, I think you said it all........

When I finally got this one simple thought in my hard head, was when I finally began my journey to living a life without alcohol. I am so grateful for finally learning that lesson!

Good for you! You are doing so well!

I think it was Evie who posted today, "I am just one drink away from Hell". True and scary.

[peacenik]

simple realization

yup!

[Bella]

simple realization

God..that Is so scary and so true...please tell me why HELL is so tempting at times! I know why...its all about how much I respect myself and like myself. I cant like myself that much sometimes otherwise I wouldnt be so intent in destroying myself...oh and i have an addiction problem too..!

[peacenik]

simple realization

i know, it's weird that we want something so badly that we KNOW makes us feel like crap...that is the addiction, eh?
maybe a lobotomy would be easier for me!

[Bella]

[peacenik]

[Bella]

simple realization

Very true Peace. It only takes 1 drink to take you back to the bottom. i was abstinent for 5 years. 1 drink and by the end of the night I was blacking out.

simple realization

good lesson cymru!

funny how i realized this i was sitting outside last night, it was cold and crisp and starry,i noticed i haven't been thinking about drinking lately and that i could easily not ever drink again (how i felt right then) and it hit me...all i have to do is never have ONE drink...

yeah, it's just not fair that we have to be the one's who can't handle alcohol. I guess we all have some burden to bear. Some are just more destructive than others.

simple realization

Here are a couple more sayings I like....

It's much easier to stay quit than to keep quitting.

It's easy to drink 0 or 12....it's impossible to drink 2.
