Hi All
I was just reading a couple of treads and a common thought came through. It was on lifestyle change. In the beginning of stopping drinking we become hopeful that life will be the same just minus the al. I don't think this is possible and after some good time in recovery It doesn't become desirable. Wanting to go to the party, pub, all day drinking fest minus the al is not what makes for a fun time. So often people here ask "Do you think i can go to_____ I haven't had a drink in ------ days. Well fill in the blanks - party - 40whatever . If you go and don't drink is all alright. Well yes for that night. Do you now go the following weekend and the one after that. What I am trying to get at is this is part of our drinking lifestyle. Something that is going to have to be changed. I am just using this party theme as an example because it applied to me. Look at your drinking lifestyle what is going to have to change for you to be successful. The lifestyle you are now in is the chain keeping al in your life.
Some members here are making tremendous changes to their life knowing that if they don't they risk never recovering. Look at your life style now, is just removing al going to lead to recovery.
