You will not be conquered by alcohol. You will be there for your children.<br /><br />Beautiful piece. One of the best I've ever read.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />A Survivornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481487535671538648.post-9207955777721057092012-12-09T05:18:57.387+11:002012-12-09T05:18:57.387+11:00Congratulations on 30 days.

And I meant it. I have found much joy in loving what is. Then life is never out of reach. Blessing my you (all of us) and our continued recovery.

I can so relate to this phenomenon especially "Each day I would endure the what I saw as the trite nonsense and endless trivial details of the real world only to rush home and gently escape to my drunken nirvana." What alcoholic over achiever wouldn't appreciate that??? : ) <br />Thank you so much for your incite. Reading your blog has helped me stay sober for the last 30 days. I am already starting to appreciate the day to day doldrums of life! Have a beautiful day & remember "Life is what happens when you are busy making plans."

Will I ever be at peace with Myself? <br />That was an everyday thing with me and a cold alcoholic beverage always brought warmth to my heart.<br />My reality was mixed with insanity, i reflected reality as depression and alcohol brought it excitement and joy. <br />Until I found myself stuck with Reality behind bars facing my 3rd DUI. <br />Reality sat in, that the world, this universe has more to give so I stood up to what i reflected was my enjoyment (alcohol). <br />I let my grievances go, my anger go, my fear go, one by one so my heart could be healed and show me that REALITY can be really joyful. <br />Happiness and comfort and love is all I want so letting go all my negative thoughts, memories and emotions go I feel brand new to life. <br />Love this blog .

Until there was nothing more but the wine and bourbon and middle of the night darkness in the light of day.<br /><br />There's more out there buddy, and we drank because we were too scared, lazy, ambivalent to get off the bottle to go find it.<br /><br />It was so much easier to drink the scaredness, laziness and ambivalence into silence.<br /><br />Love ya bud,<br />KaryKary Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674442468925628974noreply@blogger.com
