I thought I would post again to mention that 22 years ago today I started my treatment at Schick Shadel hospital, since that day I have never had a drink of alcohol in any form.
I can only wonder if I would still be alive today had I not quit but one thing for sure this past 22 years has been far different from the days I was a slave to a drink with all the baggage that went with that addiction.
None of us think or feel exactly the same about things in our lives and each of us have only ourselves to answer to in the final analysis.
I wish to make a rather different comment at this point in time, most alcoholics who quit drinking think of themselves as recovering alcholics, I am going to step out of that mold and think of myself as recovered due to the fact I no longer have any symptoms of the disease.
I hope you all will give me that privelage to at least in my own mind step from recovering to recovered?
All the best to all of you in the coming years.
