Default Me or as close as I can get

I am 42, raised in a dysfunctional split house, which I lay no burden on. I was truly loved, my father died when I was as 7 and although the visits were not regular, my father's dad loved me, I felt it to my bones every time he hugged me and I saw it in the tears every time he walked away. My issues were in his absence. I started drinking at 10ish, had my first beer with a family member by 12, we are German/polish and alcohol was part of ever family function. Fast forward... I have always maintained my career. I am a functional alcoholic. I recently quit drinking for 9 months, them... I went for a ride without my colors, I can not drink while wearing my colors, it is forbidden. And I would not stop at my old biker bar hang outs unless I was on my bike. You know the rest, those 2 beers led to 2 months of solid drinking. Then I reached out to some brothers, and bam, I was sober again... Now here I am on vacation, and the condo we have rented has one locked door, I start to think about what is behind that door. Wow, so easy to open, so I do... There sits a half gallon of kettle one, and without a second of thought I am chugging it down. I am a beast among beasts, I fear no one. But I am so weak....

Welcome clundy1, richieboo, and Cedeines. So glad you signed in and shared with us. Hope you will keep coming to the site. The key to recovery is H.O.W. Honesty, Open Mindedness and Willingness. I often have to pray for the willingness to be willing.

I had to get honest about my disease, I had to be open minded and recognize that my way didn't work, my way brought me to where I am in today. I had to be willing to change. I had to be willing to do whatever it took to stay clean and sober.

I have a disease, the problem is me. The drugs and alcohol are but a symptom of my disease. I have an allergy, I don't metabolize things the way 'normal' do and I have a mind that is obsessive/compulsive. It is a disease that say "This time will be different." It also tells me that I don't have a disease. I looked at it as dis-ease, not comfortable in my own skin, not wanting to be me, always looking outside of myself for SOMETHING/ANYTHING that will make me feel better. I internalized my feelings and drugs and alcohol helped me to cope with life. Today, just for today, I choose not to use people, places, and things.

Icon18 Hi

Hi!
My name is Sue and I am an alcoholic/addict. On the 15th of December I celebrated 3 years sober. It has been an amazing journey! I look forwards to learning to use the resources available on this site and to make some new connections.
