THE SHRINK said:
On a serious note, I have tremendous respect for anyone who is a recovering Alcoholic/Drug addict...
The alcohol gene runs rampid in my family, as both my Dad and his Mother were bad drunks...
I have been fighting this all my life and although not perfect, I have had more sobriety this year than ever before...
This is a hard time of year, but so far, I have not drank...
Can anyone else relate?
Best wishes,
Ken
I certainly can...My father, (god rest his soul) was an alcoholic, and a gambler, and a smoker...I only picked up one of his bad habits luckily...
I occasionally drink, but can hold my liquor quite well, i bet I had 20 drinks in the sportsbook sitting with Mike and Tim, betting the games, but was still sober when i went to my room (no wheelchair necessary), and i bet i havent had 6 drinks total, since i have been home...I can really do with it, or without it...Never drink alone either...Have never smoked, and have NEVER touched any drug...I know i have an addictive personality, so i figure if i dont try it, I dont know what I am missing..
I too have great respect for anyone who can recover from such bad habits, as i saw my dad try to quit many times, and just couldnt.....
Kudos to anyone who does....
God Bless
