Yeah, I mean I don't like to agree or anything in case I (or you) get some f*cking pleasure, which is not likely though admittedly not impossible.

Like there wasn't that much to agree (or disagree with), but as is my wont(?) I agree with it all (until later?)

Isn't that the part of our brains that's broken down that we try to patch back together with benzos and booze?
Heck, it's all chemistry, I guess. I can't believe what a handful of pills and capsules I gobble down every day to get to the point of feeling wretched. Imagine if I didn't take even those! Yikes.I'm just one month away from having 2 years' sobriety; and it's only been in the last couple of months that it's remotely felt like it's been worth it. Talk about taking a long time to pay myself back... up until now it's been this hang-dog, longing look through the windows of the liquor stores, all those shiny, jewel-like colours of inebriation sitting there in their bottles in every shape and size. Pocket size, suitcase size, cardboard boxes for goodness' sakes. Worse than any toy store or Sears Christmas catalogue ever was, I swear.
More swear words.
But some days, and I have had several weeks' worth in a row of not being able to experience them, I am glad that I wake up in the morning without my teeth each wearing little knitted sweaters; nor my tongue feeling like a shag carpet, thick with who knows what. So I rejoice in this feeling. It is all that I have.

I've had enough of booze..I become a monster. I had 6 years of sobriety then environmental issues led me to drink to escape reality.
Now I have no one lost friends and family so I have to start my life all over again somehow.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Feeling sorry for my self, whatever and where ever my self is.

I am so sorry you have to go through this again. I know how hard it is to gather up the strength and courage to try again. I wish I could say something else to help, but I just wanted to say that I cared.
