It was here that the previous 20 years all rolled back in one big memory. The blackouts, the fights, my kids crying, the diarrhea, the vomiting, the stomach pains, the looks from my family, the wheelchair, the walker, the cane, the drunken gait I had acquired from PN. I "stumbled" back outside (sober) and I told myself I would re-evaluate at one year....
That was YEARS ago  |
I can relate to nearly all of this. I've described my 3 months of sobriety as a the hangover from a 4 year drunken night out. Even when not actually drunk, my decision making was seriously impaired.
There's a new song called 'Lost on You' by LP which I relate to alcohol instead of a person! It's my dignity I lost the most, and the thing I've most enjoyed gaining back from sobriety.
