Is he still AF I wonder. Really like him.

he said in the second video, 'i could let go of all of my sadness, all of my worries, by drinking. spend the day drinking ......just one day, and then im gonna be fine again' ....... 'it sounds ridiculous now, i know that'..........

yep, ridiculous and (il)logical and such a bad idea. but so seductive to me right now.

He kinda hasn’t moved on though – still wishing he could drink, that it’s always in his mind that he CAN’T - instead of being GLAD every day that he caught it before it killed him. He still has that 'idyllic' notion of it.
His relapses, thinking he was like others & can drink one or two & leave it at that, only proved to him that he is never going to be the type who can have ‘just a few’ and funny enough the relapses are what will save him in the end.
We all have such short memories of what it was doing to us and why we stopped in the first place

Over & Out - I'm off

That's what worries me when I hear/read people saying 'the idea of never drinking again is too much for me, I'll set myself thirty days, it's more manageable'. That would never work for me. I know EXACTLY what would happen. I would spend thirty days obsessing about that thirtieth day, and by that time, the idea of a drink would be the most precious thing in the universe. (That's just me, BTW, it's great if it works for other people, natch).

I had to know, from the very start, that I would never drink again. If I said to myself I might drink again, one day, I'd have an out, and I'd be thinking about that 'one day' all the time.

I was having a cig and coffee this morning, after my phantom hangover thinking it's brilliant not to have alcohol in the equation at all. It makes everything a hundred times easier. If I had the promise of a 'one day', I'd be well and truly fucked.
