Then I'd be drunk and insane. At A Time, then whoever awoke the earliest today has the most sobriety. Easy Does It was counting to ten before hitting someone. I was a Periodic Drinker. I drank, period.
Misery is optional.
Getting sober by any means possible must include love. There are things more painful than the truth, but I can't think of any. I finally got into recovery when the unknown became more acceptable than the known When I look into a mirror, I take a good look, because this is the guy that got me here. AA won't solve my problems, It will help keep me sober to work on them. The man I was will always drink.
