As a socially acceptable drug it felt welcoming. In the end I understood my addiction after a year of drinking what I thought was done in a nicely controlled way.
-I had learned that life almost always was better with wine.
-I had learned that wine was like an entry point into a better dimension.
-I believed that is was shaving off some bad brain cells.
What I had yet to learn that upon going sober I felt dragged back to the bottle again and again, knowing that I was less the master over the wine than I had assumed. To make matters worse I would fantasize about getting drunk.
How did I quit
- I acknowledge that self medicating was a hidden motive for drinking.
- I understood that I had to make changes in my life that I did not want to make including getting some therapy.
- I took more time to contemplate life and reflect.
- I made money making and climbing much less of my mind set.
- I was fearless in stating my weaknesses and failings.
-I avoided other substitutes and addictions as much as possible.
-I found the value of being funny more often.
