Hi Everyone. I recently received some wonderful news, and I wanted to share it with my friends here at MWO.
Guess What??? I'm an alcoholic!!! I am so happy to finally learn this, because what it means is all I have to do is not drink! I don't need surgery, or chemotherapy, or invasive treatments. All I need is to not drink! Contrary to my former beliefs, I am not weak, lacking in discipline or a miserable failure. You know what other wonderful news comes hand in hand with this?
I am not going to die of liver disease!
My depression has lifted and I'm happy.
My marriage is getting better all the time.
I'm a wonderful mother, whose kids can count on me to be available and sane.
I'm losing weight while eating healthy.
I'm going to be able to help others.
My eyes shine and my skin is clear and I'm proud of myself.
I can spend time learning all kinds of new things.
I get to put my kids to bed at night and know that even if it wasn't a perfect day, I was sober.
I can stop wondering what's wrong with me!!
I know a lot of you have gotten this kind of news, too, and I just thought we should celebrate. Here's to being an alcoholic! It may not be curable, but it doesn't have to kill us! :happy:
