Per my previous post, I freely enjoyed 3 standard drinks last night, and it was easy! And FUN!
And I did it while I was watching my guilty pleasure: "The Bachelor" --- cuz, well, I'm so old and above all the drama..... I can't enjoy it without a buzz! Or something like that!
This month, for some reason, even though I'd been drinking only every-other day, I'd been drinking up to 7 drinks when I drank. I know there's a reason for this!! But the important thing is that another new healing influence joined my life (see post below) just when I needed it most; guiding me back to the real ME.
Will I keep this going? We shall see!
I am learning that We Have More Power Than We Think and We Have More Influential Connections Than We Know To Help Us.
What An Interesting Journey This Is !!!
With The Intention Of Achieving Balance And Control Over Drinking And Being Fully Deprogrammed From CultAA--which I am learning to forgive, and let go of. Research teaches us that 1 out of 3 people are problem drinkers, but 90% of problem drinkers are Not Alcoholics and can change.
My Drinking History: Over four decades of mostly problem drinking, five drunken-related arrests in my 20s (the early 80s), of abstinence and binge-drinking, of trying moderation and usually-or-often failing, of being immersed in almost every other recovery group out there, but of being mostly sober.
