“That” State Of Mind!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone :)
Please, be safe in your travels today and enjoy your time with your loved ones…
During this day, if you might “run” into someone who is having difficulty distinguishing whether or not they might have alcoholism, here is a State of Mind that could be referred to (Thank You Candy from the 12 Step Forum);
“For me the invisible line was crossed when alcohol began to be like magic for me. After a few drinks I began to feel like I was everything that I ever dreamed of being and that life was wonderful. I think I drank more to feel more of the same. I spent most of my time chasing my dreams. Alcohol made me feel like my dreams were going to come true. I don’t know when it happened but my dreams began to be nightmares. Then I drank to run from my dreams and I felt like if it was not for alcohol the nightmares would come true.”
Precisely… Wow - can I identify!
