Had a friend tell me early in recovery that he use to shoot up his alcohol to make it work faster. I was so shocked, had not concept, and yet I heard many other people share about doing the same thing.
This disease is cunning, baffling and powerful. It tells us we don't have it and this time it will be different. I once heard a guy say, "I can't drink safely. I break out in spots, like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, etc." I can't drink safely, I don't know where it will take me.
Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the memories, always good to remember and reinforce the fact that I have no desire to go back to that way of life.
