falling off the wagon
Now I know why alcoholics fall off the wagon so often.
Alcohol is haunting my life like an ex-boyfriend I just can't forget. Even my own father is encouraging me to drink, and everytime we pass a bar, Eileen sighs longingly. "If only you didn't quit drinking," she says with more than a tinge of regret. It's devastating.
I have a problem with alcohol. I am not afraid to admit that I was at the beginning of a long path of abuse. Swigging schnapps in a futile attempt to bring yourself down from mania is not a good idea. My last drink, a little less than 100 days ago, brought me so far up and so far down it was like I was on a roller coaster I couldn't leave. No more of that for me.
Alcohol may come back into my life at some point, when I know I would have a handle on my drinking, but until then I'm a teetotaler.
Quitting drinking might be one of the hardest things I've ever done. But I've never felt better.
