ALCOHOL
Alcohol used to be fun and enjoyable for me, it took away the fear I lived with and made me feel confident, comfortable and secure in any
situation. After a few years the alcohol no longer had the effect I wanted; but then I found I had to have it. I didn’t have a choice anymore
and it controlled me. I have learnt that I have an allergy to alcohol and once I start drinking, I trigger off an overwhelming craving for
more. Once I stop all I think about is drink and the next high, which leads to me, taking that first one.
I also had very low self esteem, I hated me and what I’d done to those around me, having feelings of guilt, shame and remorse. This all went
away when I drank.
I have come to understand that I have a 3 fold illness:-
Recovery is possible one day at a time. I no longer have to drink to live. I have happiness today. I no longer feel alone, but I enjoy
life.
I offer an emailing service if you would like to discuss, in confidence, any issues you may have relating to alcohol.
