Greetings!
I am returning to this page a month into my current effort to stay sober and/or abstinent, or to abstain for alcohol all together. My idea of being sober “is just a few”. What a joke!
Absinence is not the most daunting challenge in the world, albeit extremely difficult for me to manage. So it is with many addictive affairs, whatever your poisons may be. I have a few. :-(
So far I have 6 weeks sober, which, like the last dry spell, have been very mind-blowing. It’s really amazing what i missed while I was checked out. Life is a trip even without the drugs and alcohol, for certain!
Anyway, hopefully everyone else is finding their own paths to Nirvana. Drop an update so I know where everyone else is…
i can olny control the Here and Now and i live in Every moment, every day, now is sublime, i am present in each Moment, today i will NOT drink and i will get things accomplished and be productive!!
Peace and Namaste
Here i go….........................................................

It is so inspiring to see everyone post their inner most thoughts. I am still winning against the war of alcohol. Not everyday, but overall, YES! It it so crazy how my brain responds to that first drink. The neuro-synapses fire so fast and so rushing that I am captured with alcoholism. But what happens the next day is that I feel like shit. I am a functional alcoholic. I can manage my life and go to work. What happens when I stroke out? I know I would if I continue…....
We can beat this and have a better life. We are in control. The Choice is Ours. Carpe Diem is crap. Live for tomorrow.
Nat
