XVP: I'm gonna make a move

#1

Who knows if I can pull it off. I don't like my chances of pulling it off. A major stand down of who I am and what I am. It's a major stand down...a major stand down.

Today I felt my body being physically addicted to alcohol. 40 years of hard drinking but I never felt my body being addicted to it. Today I felt that addiction. Today I admit to the world that I am addicted. Today I have to tell myself that there is a better way. Today I must tell myself that there is a better way. I must find a better way.

I'll never give up my friends. I'll never give up the truth, except about myself. I can't say that I will beat my addiction, I make one promise to myself, I will find a better way. That's my mission now.

Have another drink and call me in the morning!

Alcohol is not the answer, but rather the solution.

Who knows if I can pull it off. I don't like my chances of pulling it off. A
major stand down of who I am and what I am. It's a major stand down...a major
stand down.

Today I felt my body being physically addicted to alcohol. 40 years of hard
drinking but I never felt my body being addicted to it. Today I felt that
addiction. Today I admit to the world that I am addicted. Today I have to tell
myself that there is a better way. Today I must tell myself that there is a
better way. I must find a better way.

I'll never give up my friends. I'll never give up the truth, except about
myself. I can't say that I will beat my addiction, I make one promise to
myself, I will find a better way. That's my mission now.

Having been 15 years without a drink, you can do it. There is lots of help out there if you are willing to ask for it and receive it. Good Luck. Email me privately if you need anything.

Mickey, please ignore all uncaring posts. I'm sure most of the people on this list are caring human beings and feel your pain and wish you the best from this day forward. I know many are praying for you - be sure I am.

Yes, best of luck to Mickey. He seems like a strong-minded character, very smart and very imaginative, I hope he finds what it takes inside to beat the alcohol. He's lived life his way so far, I hope he can show the alcohol that he is the boss in that regard too. Don't let it beat you, Mickey! I'm rooting for you!

You can do it and you are on your way...You took the 1st step by admiting you have a problem. It won't be easy, nothing ever is, but you will be better for it. AA meetings can be the best place to be, you will meet great people who will be there for you every step of the way. I wish you the best of everything.
Please feel free to contact me off list if you need words of encouragement. My brother was an alcoholic and drug addict for many years and has been sober for over 20 and my son had a problem as a teenager. He has not had a drink since he was 17 and he is sober 20 plus years later.

Sharon in Illinois pulling for you.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference

Who knows if I can pull it off. I don't like my chances of pulling it off.

Hey, you're a gambler, as long as the pot is paying more than your odds, it's a play, right?

A major stand down of who I am and what I am. It's a major stand down...a major stand down.

Not really. Addiction is like a shirt. It says something about who you are, but it's not really you at all. You can live with a different shirt.

Today I felt my body being physically addicted to alcohol. 40 years of hard drinking but I never felt my body being addicted to it. Today I felt that addiction. Today I admit to the world that I am addicted. Today I have to tell myself that there is a better way. Today I must tell myself that there is a better way. I must find a better way.

I'll never give up my friends. I'll never give up the truth, except about myself. I can't say that I will beat my addiction, I make one promise to myself, I will find a better way. That's my mission now.

One dsy at a time.
