I often have to remind myself of this, so for those of you who also need this not so professional reminder. Alcohol is not your friend, it is the enemy, and like the enemy it must be dealt with appropriately. If someone was hurting you, your kids, you wife/husband, any other loved one, you would invite it into your home and make it dinner would you? Probably not. We must grab alcohol by the throat and drive it Into the ground like the enemy it is, because it's destroying us. Stay strong today friends, if you cant stay strong, find peace somewhere without booze. You'll be happy you did.

Alcohol lied to me for a very long time. Enough is enough. Well said!

Alcohol is like HR. You think they are there to help you. In reality they are there to help the company/alcoholic

Yes it’s an enemy that wants to kill us yet as alcoholics we clutch it and hold it near and dear to us!
