I did not do alcohol despite the many thoughts to do it. Alcohol is consider a drug in narcotic anonymous. I am very wary of what alcohol can do. Drinking can mess up my thinking and feeling.
Acting out in food, work, gambling and sex from time to time is bad enough, and if I add alcohol in the equation, one thing is certain, my brake will suddenly lose its function, everything will fall apart in double quick time.
An advice from a 83 years old recovering person from US, he suffer from many addiction too. He told me to focus on the primary addiction first.
I learn who is the boss among my many addictions and have dances with this devil and played with this fires many times. Alcohol affect my physical, emotion and feeling in ways I do not get from the rest.
