Were you ever drunk in front of me? If you were, I didn’t know it!

I doubt it. You’d have known. :)

Thank you for sharing this. I just sent it to someone who needs help!

Awesome! I wrote it for the people out there in despair.

Very well stated

Thanks!

“€œBecause drunkenness is like a wet blanket over the fire, a soggy forcefield that keeps the inferno of reality from being real.” Beautifully said. Captures that feeling, that state dead on!

Alcoholics don’t play the tape through by choice. You quit drinking, so at some point you must have actually decided to stop and think before you took a drink. Good choice!!

This is so poignant and true. Bullseye! I found myself in every word. Thank you for sharing

Well put. Thanks.

Very insightful I needed to read that thank you for sharing

You have always been an old soul….even when you were young. You had the fortitude and the gift for seeing the outcome of your life if you remained in the direction you were heading. That gift enabled you to make decisions that prevented years of misery…..you never experienced too many bad things from your drinking……”yet”…..when you quit…. I assure you that if you would have kept using for long enough you would have experienced every one of them. I’ve seen people say I came into Alcoholics Anonymous too early, I didn’t suffer enough before I came in I had to go back out and try it again. The big book talks about going out and try and control drinking, it says if you can do it, then go right ahead, cuz you are not one of us. No, definitely not one of us if you can control you’re drinking. I remember an old saying I heard in Alcoholics Anonymous one time. They said I didn’t stop at Alcoholics Anonymous because it was the prettiest house on the street, I stopped because it was the last house on the street. That hit home with me because I tried everything, to be able to continue to drink, as I wanted to prove that it wasn’t the alcohol I had a problem with it was everybody else who was bothering me. You know there’s another saying in Alcoholics Anonymous. At first I took a drink, and then the drink took a drink, and then the drink took me. That’s how I describe my alcoholism. Thank God we don’t have to live that way anymore, is another great saying from alcoholics anonymous that I use quite often. :-)

What Kelly & Vanessa said! Well done my friend.

I started one for you so you wouldn’t look like an asshole.

I honestly don’t know what I would do with that.

Well, I could take out the neighbor’s dog that’s always barking 🤔

You told me you wanted to take it to the dunes. Are you begged me to post this so that people would buy it for you.

OK maybe that’s not totally true but we could take it to the dunes.

That’d be fun! I’d like to work in a James and the Giant Peach scene in somehow if we could.

If the beach ball thing doesn’t pan out, please feel free to use my $11 for tacos.

and my $10 for pie

Holy moly - looks scrumptious!

Yes

Thank you for the reminder - I tend to over book!
