I am a 51 year old wife, teacher and mother of 2. I have a 21 year old son and a 25 year old daughter. New intro...I am sober and love it! It isn't always easy but it is always worth it!
Old intro...I am fighting this damn drug called alcohol. I have been a weekend binge drinker for 30 years. I binge 2-3 times a month on a Friday or Saturday, but alcohol kicks my butt every single day of my life. I am sick of it!
The title of the article is a bit misleading, because the author has not quit drinking. Moderation was a torment for me. However, the points about the behavior and mental patterns is spot on; recovery is about our personal evolution to sanity, and it requires our conscious attention every day.
Well, I posted the article so I could read it later lol. I guess I should read it bc I don't want "joys of moderation" on my blog. I want "joys of sober" on my blog. For me moderation sucks! It is exhausting and it getting me now where! Thanks for posting this.
