Brain recovery 1 big relapse=99 AF days !

[dixon]

Hi all,

I am consciously watching my body and brain's functions with AL and without it.
In 70 days , I did have 5 big binge . 65 AF days are worthless especially for my brain recovery though I feel good with the body .

Previously, I had set up an ambitious plan and started socializing , now I am at the same stage because I have not that of confidence and self esteem to appear and face the community .I would have gone far ahead if I hadn't relapsed.
So if we could not maintain our AL within standard limit, it goes to the brain and damage all achievement. If the liver can't filter AL, it goes into the blood vessel and ultimately to the brain.
So the experiment is now almost over or very soon !!!
Please correct me seniors if my experiment over myself is wrong.
CHEERS !!!

Paulywogg,
Well said.
Yes of course, if we put fertilizer in right amount it grows very well if we put in huge amount certainly it dies !!!
Only a right amount of salt gives taste...
I also realized now experimenting myself. That's why an alcoholic hardly live life and only perform 10 % of a normal human being .

Its a hell !!!

I shall pray that you can find sobriety again. If I drank now, I'm not sure that I have another SOBER in me! :l I'm hoping you can get sober and stay sober, if that's what you want?

Hi Dixon,

Thanks for posting this. I had around 64 days completely AF. I went to a festival on the weekend and ended up breaking that for 3 days in a row. At the time, it was a conscious decision, but i found myself increasingly pressured to "have more", nearly to the point when i had to riase my voice to tell him to stop.

I came home feeling depleted and depressed. Last night those horrible cravings came back and i can really see how one mouthful can lead to a relapse. I am a bit mad with myself, but i had made a conscious decision to drink, which i should have stuck with for one day only. I am now on day 2 again and i know it's going to take a few days for this crap to get out of my system. Before i went away, i felt GREAT! Only to have it all ruined by several days of drinking.

It really does change your mindset and i don't like what it does to mine. I am seriously considering not attending alcoholic venues at all and an almost complete change of "friendship" circles would be good as i don't consider many of those people friends if all they do is antagonise and cooerce me into drinking, and don't accept my @#$@#%#^$ decision to STOP! Crickey. I really have to get the backbone to finally say no to those people.
