Alcoholism is as much about damage limitation as anything else. If you're picking up that drink and blacking out afterwards, let me, through my experience, offer some tips.
You've probably already got yourself a counsellor or doctor. They'll say don't pick up that first drink. Oh lordy, we do try to take their advice but it seems ... we just keep picking that drink up. And I don't understand it, neither do you.
You might have tried controlled drinking. To a certain extent, in my experience, this can work, but
end result is
same.
We're putting poison into our bodies. Cirrhosis of
liver, limb amputation, brain damage, acute depression, heart attacks, behaviour out of character, suicide. These are
joyous gifts we have been granted due to a thirst we don't understand.
Along with this, alcoholism shows no respect for whom it chooses. From
President of
US, to
lonely housewife hiding behind
curtains, it tries to take our soul. Black, white, rich, poor.
