Feel like drinking and buying me a baggy
Remember where it takes you. For me I know it would lead me instantly back to where I was. Just for today I will not drink or drug

Feelings pass. Cravings pass. It's not worth it. Momentary pleasure would give way to brokenness and regret. They always say they can refund your misery. That's the reality of the situation.

Today I went to a get together for AA people.. there ended up being several people there.. I went to this same get together last year on the fourth.. we sat outside in the heat but it wasn’t as bad as last year.. the sky was overcast and we could hear the thunder but no rain.. I stayed about 3 hours and I enjoyed talking to the people and some I didn’t know.. I know it was so different than any other party I had been to.. of course there was no alcohol.. no crack or fighting.. that was good.. I’ve been sober since May 27,,1996.. but got on drugs after I stopped drinking. I’m so grateful to be counted in these get together .. these people suffer just like I do.. well not so much anymore.. even after all these years I still think about having a drink.. but I don’t.. and I have to give the credit to God.. and my AA group..and I know when I struggle I have to have a little talk with Jesus tell him what I’m going thru and he’s always there guiding the way.. and giving me strength..

Play the tape back, is it worth loosing what you’ve accomplished so far? Do you wanna wake up with regret and start all over? Is it really worth it?

It won't help. How are you feeling today?
Run the film through. I mean, think about what that looks like later in the day, tomorrow, next week.
If your anything like me, it’s not a pretty sight.

The feeling will past just don’t act on it. For the first time in a long time I had that feeling today. I had spine surgery and have been home 6 weeks now and I looked at all the pictures from the 4th of July and just got overwhelmed. I feel like it’s Groundhog Day every day. I immediately contacted one of my recovery friends who just reminded me what will happen and what I will lose. Thank god for recovery friends.
Summer months are the worse for me. Everywhere you look alcohol is glamorized but they don’t show the harsh reality. Still going strong. Stay strong my friend.
I felt like that a week ago. I am glad I didn't. If I had, I would no doubt still be spinning with guilt.
What makes you feel that way Hector?

It can be a hassle. So can being drunk in a jail cell, having withdrawals, cirrhosis. My close friend just had withdrawals for the 1st time July 4th. It is sad to watch him drink his life away.
