It was the biggest lie i ever told myself.
"You're not an alcoholic... you made it through a few weeks(never the month) every january. "

The disease is the liar... It's the only disease that tells us that we don't have it!
I learned from my mistakes. I thought I was doing great using. Lost myself completely, but the disease kept telling me I was doing fine even though the evidence was quite the contrary. Be kind to yourself, go to meetings. I was restored to sanity. I saw others restored to sanity. One day at a time I got better. It's totally possible however I can't... We can. You are not alone.
It sounds like you’re on a solid path now. Congratulations on committing to ringing in a sober 2026
