Lets get real.
I never thought I’d make it as long as I did when I joined this forum. I knew I wanted to get sober but truth is the support here really helped me more than I thought, it’s motivating and makes me think before I give in.
What I think about when I am staring at a bottle, or a 6 pack or get invited to bars, weddings, or someone tells me ill eventually drink again…is how terrifying the outcome could actually be. Let’s say I decide to buy that 6 pack, or drink a whole bottle of wine…I will drink until there’s nothing left, black out.I could choke on my own throw up,get alcohol poisening…and that’s a real possibility because I cannot stop myself once I start.Never have been able to. The most beer I can remember drinking is somewhere between 12-14 and I’m not a very big person.I could possibly kill someone from the drive to the store to get more, I really could.
I love living but the way I drink you’d never know that.
So that’s my reality.Thats what stops me from buying beer and caving in.
