How do you feel now Chill? Are you surprised? Did you always know it would happen?
I ask because it is a recurring theme among long-term survivors that they are surprised.
I know I'm finished with it too. 30 days, a year, forever. It's done.
I had been abusing alcohol all my adult life so I knew it wasnt going to be easy to break the habitual behaviour but at the point when the decision was made to quit I couldnt have been more desperate, I was having anxiety attacks and increasing thoughts of suicide. I was not prepared to settle for that and therefore failure was not an option so no Im not suprised.
I cant be a normal drinker, thats a fact and I accept it. Im grateful for my alcohol addiction as it has made me who I am today. You can only deal with "what is" not with "what if".
