Morning all,
Yesterday was a great day on the abs forum. Lots of good thought provoking topics and points made. There is a load of wisdom here and I hope to soak some up.
About time too; the outline of her sobriety, if you will, mirrors what a lot of us need to do. I do not think any of us drink just to drink. It?s that escape from reality and the issues we want to unload. Unfortunately the booze buzz is only temporary. And there is always the inevitable morning after. I really liked the onion analogy, I for one am ready to unload some layers. As each day passes, I become more honest with myself and getting better about communicating with those close to me.
I think I will always be able to form some amazingly creative justification to drink. Could have easily done it last night while struggling with a donkey of a kid whose grades have slipped and he sees no reason to try. Every one of his problems led back to his grades. The anxiety this problem gives me is astronomical.
All our problems have a root cause or two. I do not want to compound mine with booze. I choose to remain sober. It may not be terribly fun right now but it needs to be.
I have a ton of other stuff to do but am going on a bike ride. Exercise saves!
