Braintree Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Congratulations, dude! I think I'm going to start limiting myself to a couple beers when I go out from now on. The other night a friend and I got really drunk and I fucked up my leg, arm, and back. They're all sore. Plus we got stopped by the cops, but nothing happened, so I'm taking it as a sign that I need to take better care of myself. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Braintree's signature Hide all signatures colindyer.bandcamp.com williamsbraintree.bandcamp.com Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43287-5-years/#findComment-970692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need meetings, you just need to recognize if there's a pattern of behaviour that is having a negetive impact on your life, and whether the impact is strong enough that you need to change that behaviour.

You don't need meetings, you just need to recognize if there's a pattern of behaviour that is having a negetive impact on your life, and whether the impact is strong enough that you need to change that behaviour. So are you actually an alcoholic, or did you just stop drinking? Because a true alcoholic will eventually relapse, even if it takes 25 years (I take it you've read the AA book, if your an alcoholic?) not one man has ever stayed clean without doing necessary things to help him stay that way, "higher power" etc. sneaksta303 said: EDGEY said: abusivegeorge said: sneaksta303 said: congrats edgey... 6.5 months myself...

Really good to hear that man, the mental obsession starts to return if you don't keep it up doesn't it? I bet he/she was glad to hear from you. They always say the last part of the relapse is picking up the drink, it all starts long beforehand up in the head.

That kinda thought is straight sickness. Granted, alcohol is far from my drug of choice (heroin-benzos), but i'll bet that if my inhibitions get low enough, and the situation was right, i'd do a shot. i, like you, am lucky to be alive right now. i od'ed 3 times in the 1st part of '08.

Fuckin hell! Once is bad enough. Thats the thing though with this illness, we put down our drug of choice and simply substitute for another, I have no doubt that if your head is telling you its ok to get drunk, you would eventually end up an alcoholic. Like me for example, my head tells me to take coke or smoke crack, because the main reason I can't drink is my liver, but neither of those harm the liver so I tell myself it'll be alright, luckily we are responsible for our second thoughts and not our first.

I don't think that's so much the case.. I think the "alternative fix" will just likely lower your inhibitions just long enough to roundabout to your drug of choice... Abstinense is the key.
