Just a quick update.. I hit 8 months sober today and i was bursting to tell someone. Occupational hazard i suppose that you can't go and knock on your neighbours door and tell them the good news.
Amazingly it is getting easier although the alcaholic in me sometimes whispers in my ear "Hay Macks..Your all fixed now..You can handle it."
I know thats bollocks but that little voice can be so convincing sometimes. Learning to shut that voice out has made the difference this time to all the other times i've tried..And thats a lot.
The other main differnce this time aswell is, i think im too scared..I'm too scared to go back to how i was..Drinking in the morning..Being housebound..Having to look at how my wife and kids saw me..They were as scared as i was..I think its safe to say i have 'the fear'. And that is such a good thing.
I am so greatful to be given a second chance in life..It could have so easily have gone the other way..But with help from my wife,family,MWO,staff at harvey house,and everyone here, i can see a bright future.
Love as always Macks:l
