Yesterday was my 17 year annivesary in AA:D Seems like it just happened, I can still taste the booze, I can still recall the feeling of throwing up every time I drank (and I drank all the time) and I can still vividly remember those hangovers:eek: :eek:
My brother-in-law is in the process of drinking himself to death. Since I've been there, I know that there isn't anything anyone can do for him except pray. He's lost 3 wives to booze and he's about to loose his home. I can't find a bit of sympathy for him. He's got me he can talk to, he's got my husband who is also in recovery, and he's got 3 adult children that love him with all of their hearts but none of that matters while you are practicing.
Tonight I told my husband that he's going to have to stop talking to him while he's drinking because all's that he's doing is enabling him and he agreed. Now, we will see what happens.
Getting sober was worse than natural childbirth.......and, because it was so bad, I never plan to go thru it again. In order for me to never go thru it again means that I can never pick up another drink cuz for me, there is NEVER "a" drink. Crap, if it were easy to get sober, people would be doing it all the time:rolleyes: It's suppose to be hard!!!!
I've spend a very quite weekend in bed with another UTI and didn't realize that it was my sober "birthday' till I looked on my calander a few minutes again.....(I'm patting myself on the back over here, can you all see it!)
Thanks for listening:bunny:
