Hope you're doing better. I've been slipping and sliding since Christmas but hope I'm back on the right path.
I remember in AA someone said, "Don't get greedy" and it's starting to make sense to me. Every time I start to get back on my feet, I become increasingly dissatisfied with little things in my life and less thankful for what's going right. It's imperative I rearrange the furniture for example. Finally I'm so overwhelmed I end up drinking. The once-important furniture doesn't cast so large a shadow the next day - that is if I didn't pawn it.
Wildcard sent me something about alcohol which I printed and put on the fridge. Here it is:
"Alcohol is a product of amazing versatility.
It will remove stains from designer clothing,
It will also remove the clothing off your back.
If it is used in sufficient quantity,
Alcohol will remove furniture from the home,
Rugs from the floor, food from the table,
Lining from the stomach, vision from the eyes
And judgement from the mind.
Alcohol will remove good reputations, good jobs, good friends,
And happiness from children's hearts.
Sanity, freedom, spouses, relationships,
Mans ability to adjust and live with his fellow man,
And even life itself.
As a remover of things, alcohol has no equal."thanks again to Wildcard for that quote
