Thanks for the post Mike, you are so right on the looking past that
first drink, "the power of positive thinking" and if that doesn't work
then think of all of the shit your last drunk cost you. I keep a
graditude list in my wallet, that also helps me on my PMS days (Poor Me
Syndrom). I really never wanted a "cold one" on those hot summer days,
I wanted to get wasted, I never seen the point of "a couple", and that
was always my thinking, I would go to a "sober"/"normal" friends house
and they would ask me if I wanted a drink, my response was always "no,
not unless you have about 10 more for just me" and I was serious, they
would laugh, but again, I was serious. "normals don't get it". so for
me, I know I can't drink even that "oh com'on" drink.
Have a great day all,
Neil
