It was up to me to face it. It's hard when it is up to us to take responsibility for our lives. It would be so much easier if someone else would step in. But it's possible. Anything is possible if we want it bad enough. I am at 33 days sober and so glad I finally stepped up to the fact that either I took charge or it would never happen. You can do this. Alcohol is poison, it is evil, it is slowly killing us. Why would we continue to pour that stuff into our bodies? I'm pulling for you. I hope you figure it out. It is so easy, but so hard. Best of luck.stratta15@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489981019247995547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561779952062755742.post-12076597086876839522016-12-12T11:49:18.481-08:002016-12-12T11:49:18.481-08:00It would be such a shame to wait for your Heath to...It would be such a shame to wait for your Heath to deteriorate before you quit.<br />This is one of those times where not drinking is a decision you make for you! No one else has to agree...<br /><br />I admit, when I was drinking my friend got pancreatitis, and I tried to convince him a few drinks wouldn't hurt.. I must have been crazy, or just too in denial to see how much I needed alcohol in my life.<br /><br />Come back to the dry side....it's better here.<br />Hugs<br />Anne<br /><br />Ainsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.com
