how was life during and after drinking.
during-it was hell
after-it's getting much better one day at a time...
Shrink,
After a recent heavy relapse by yours truly, I've found out just how much effort it takes to go out and drink and get high. Did you find that as well, and how often are you attending meetings? Thanks for your time.

Fortunately, I have strung together a few 24 hours this time around, but I do recall the later years of drinking and drugging. It wasn't fun any longer.
I try to attend 5 meetings per week, with a minumum of at least 3...
Don't beat yourself up too much since relapse is par for the course for this problem...12io4j2w90

SPEAKING OF MEETINGS....HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF GOING TO A GAMBLERS ANNONYMUS MEETING AND PASSING OUT EOG T-SHIRTS?
Thanks for the confidence, since this battle doesn't allow me to have much at this time. How often are you and your sponsor speaking, and are the urges still there? How long did it take for you to get over the "I can never drink again", and "why me" thoughts?Thanks.

I believe around 13, maybe earlier...
damn.
Are you at the point where you will never have another drink? or is it just one day at a time
I don't ever intend to drink again and I am very comfortable with the program of recovery I work on a daily basis...
I believe my Family has noticed more positive changes than me...
What triggers a "urge?"
At what age did you place your first bet?
And what did you go to school for?
Keep it up Shrink. My uncle goes to AA and has totally flipped his life around. He has been sober for I think 3 years now and it has saved his life. I have met his sponsor and hes a cool guy. There are some real good people in AA.
