    TIME!

    I will not pour down my throat what I now refer to as a mix of depression, fatigue, shame, and poison. Alcohol serves absolutely no benefit in my life whatsoever. NONE.

    Another month has vanished...21st.......never to be seen again!!.........
    Time is priceless, yet it costs us nothing.
    You can do anything you want with it but you can?t own it.
    You can spend it but you can?t keep it.
    And once you?ve lost it, there?s no getting it back
    It?s just?..gone!!!......
    I'm still wasting so much time, so much of my life.......
    fighting my two monsters......booze & smoking!!!!!!
    I'm in a trap ...a pit...which has been getting bigger and the more I fought to get out the deeper I slide in!
    AND then 2 days ago, as I give in to my monsters again, with tears running down my cheeks.....
    I realise....I HAVE ONLY ONE CHOICE........ONLY ONE!!
    Break free from my chains by NEVER smoking or drinking again OR continue to slide deeper into my pit of despair, misery and anger.
    It then became so easy.....it was a no brainer!.....just quit and be happy that you've broken out of your prison.....
    The prison that I've been in all my adult life! The prison that I built for myself without even knowing what I was doing until it was too late.
    So I have SMASHED free from my chains, AND I FEEL GOOD!!
    Ok, you can say, "It's not even been 2 days yet." And you'd be right.....BUT.....usually after 40 hours, without smoking and/or drinking, I am bad tempered and a pain in the ass! Today, I feel good, quite calm.....I've been out riding my bicycle, meditated for 15 mins and even done some gardening, and it's not even 11am yet......in the past, I would be vegetating in front of the TV with my internal fight getting louder and stronger, until, with a scream of despair
    I would go to the local shop to buy beer and smokes. BUT I know I'm not going to do that this time!!

        Lost, keep your determination alive, I can feel it through the post. I am determined to beat this demon and we can do it together!
        I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

        Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

        Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

          Go for it Lost in Thailand, and welcome!

          A mate of mine is 4 mths booze free, and he just came back from a beautiful stay in Thailand. He stuck to the banana smoothies and had a ball, alcohol free (AF).

          Read all of the stuff in here. https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html

          Best wishes, and good to see you here. G-bloke.

                TIME!

                Your Beast is a part of you,
                an intimate part
                that has been with you for a long, long time.
                It has been with you during some of
                the best moments of your life,
                and some of the worst,
                always as a friend,
                to celebrate the good times,
                to relieve the humdrum times,
                to calm you and soothe you during the bad times,
                and to enrich the simple pleasures of life.

                It brings out the best in you,
                or so it seems at times.
                It is a companion for lonely times,
                and a coach for social times,
                a doctor who knows what's best for you,
                and a pal who really cares for you.

                It talks in "you" and "we,"
                just like any other friend,
                and it always has the perfect solution
                for any problem you ever have.

                How could you turn on your old friend,
                betray it when it has been so faithful to you?
                How could you kill such an innocent thing,
                that only means to help?
