Mick-I just find the whole "not drinking for January and giving the money to cancer" campaign odd. It certainly implies something. Wonder how happy the booze shops are with that one? No fear...the alkies will keep them in business....I read a statistic once (not sure if its true)....but, alkies account for 80% of the al sold.
Pauly...sorry you decided to drink. It can get you out of your head....its just when you return to your head and realize it solved nothing....and now you get be let down and not feel 100% really stinks.
Bear your post gave me great reflection today. This is not projection onto you. Realize too that posts are mostly people reflecting upon their experience. Nobody's experience is the same.
The reflection was that I had that inner battle for a very long time. It was exhausting. The fact that I was having the inner dialog at all was a clear indication of what direction I needed to head. I realize now I simply was not ready to take away what I thought was my bubble wrap protection from life. Call it delusion...but, it really was an illusion. Now sobriety serves as that bubble wrap. I drank because I thought it was fun, I really was just hiding out from life. I no longer regret that period of my life (but, I certainly would not go back)....but, recognize it simply was what it was.
