The advantage I have over the President in regards to this matter is that I know what a drag alcohol can be...and how wonderful it is to have that monkey off my back.
I don't think I was an alcoholic because I never had cravings, but it was still a beatch getting that poison out of my system.
To any of you fighting that battle or considering it, hang tough. Life is better than you can imagine on the other side.
The first thing I do (involuntarily) upon waking each morning is thank God for my sobriety.
Absolutely. There is no good that comes from alcohol. It is a drug like any other. We can all do better than poisoning ourselves.
