hi there..just say no to al and face your fears

[tlrgs]

i use to think. it was the only way to live.work all day and drink all night until bed time. and sometimes not even go to bed and stay up al night drunk .then go to work. not drinking at work.come home and do it all over again.but i got to say now it has been almost 4 months.and now feeling so good about myself.i though i would have lost it by now and went back to drinking.and the way i feel now. is that al has taken so much away from me. i dont want to lose anymore now and forever. am facing my fears being able to walk into a bar . to grab something to eat and drink coffee, coke,ice tea,and frogger am thinking of you on this one/ cook out / and friends getting together. am ok with it now.hell if am going to miss a good cook out and if i am doing the cooking it comes out great.and the fear of being pulled over by police . hell it still happens but am not drinking so i cant help but laugh at him or her.because i am a safe driver.and i work on my own trucks. so i would know if there was anything wrong with them. the fear of not being able to handle an emergecy.that is a good one before i allways over react.or get piss off.and now i can accept things the way they happen. look at them with a clear mind and make the right decision.without the yelling and all that other stuff that comes with al.and the big fear. addmitting that i am an alcoholic and now know that i am better off staying sober for myself and everyone else....
for now am done my fingers hurt
and hey help me find anymore fears that i might have miss.
theres are alot more
:happy: :hug: :wings: :wings:

Thats a gr8 point about driving sober. Now that I'm not always driving around with a 24oz and a major buzz, I don't worry so much about being pulled over. Honestly the only time I EVER abided by the speed limit was when I was drinking.

That was a great detailed, open letter and helpful in many ways. 4 months. WOW
I ave been on campral for one month, but have only been completely AF for one week, which for me is a long time. This weekend I have to go to my 65 year old friends Goddess birthday party an there will be wine, so I have to re-think everything, bring my own favorite af drinks. Thanks for the encouragement.
