    One Step at a Time - June 2012

    Not sure what your question was RC. Great that you are able to do it without pharmaceuticals. Good for you. I am struggling and the antabuse helps me.

      Question is - where is the enjoyment in life with or without al? I can do both--it's my understanding that many cannot enjoy life w/o al OR drugs. I'm trying to understand "it" and the difference.
      Psalms 119:45

        Maybe that is true that some people can not enjoy life without al or drugs. Maybe they are still working on it.

        I know that I definitely do enjoy life without AL or drugs. I normally enjoy life very much. I have been having a struggle for the last couple of days. Because I am depressed and when I get depressed, I turn to alcohol.

          so's here's me--some might say stupido--i'm still workin on it and am quite capable of enjoying life w/o al--but then there is a day like today--I've done lots and talked to many--I ain't just talkin bout MWO peeps..---and I said to moi--fuck it---I want to have a drink--I am not depressed per seh...WTF?

            Yep - that's the way it is. Like Zen said - anything is an excuse. I just know that for me - I have certain triggers that more powerful than others.

                    RC...so sorry that you are feeling this way! Like Zen said...it's our addicted brain turning everything and anything into a reason to take that one drink. Personally....one drink for me doesn't quench the beast....I have to keep drinking until I am numb. Anyone looking at me from the outside sees someone who is always looking at the bright side of things....glass half full and not half empty...always smiling. I so want to be that person that others (who don't know my struggles) think I am. Apparently there is something going on somewhere with me that got me to the point I am at today. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!!!!!

                      Dr Des(know idea why Mama calls you that) I truly am ok--tonight--tomorrow I may or may not feel like shit--point is--truth is what you perceive--my truth is different than most on MWO--so I think I'll just resurrect an old thread and please keep this one going---it's truly a time has come thread.

                          I know what you mean. I'm the one that is always looking at the bright side too. Hide everything from everyone else. Except here - I can come here and admit that I'm sad or having a hard time. That's why this place is so important to me. It is where I can be me. The good and the bad.

                                Nora....I am so thankful for this place and for everyone on here. This is the first time I had been totally honest and although it stings to see some of my posts...it is also healing in a way too! It is tiring to put on the happy face all the time.....I want to feel that way from my core!
