Trying to detach from the madness!

[K4D]

I haven't read your whole thread yet. But I will say that when you are an alcoholic, you are in your own world. You think things you wouldn't think if you were sober for a while. For instance, when I used to drink, I used to think it would be great if I had my own place and didn't have to deal with anything. Then when I sobered up, I realized how horrible that idea was and how much I do want my W and kids around. The alcohol masks reality for you. It makes you think you are stronger than you really might be. It makes you feel like you don't need anyone or anything and could care less. Reality is far different. At least it is for me.

I know how much I need my W and kids. I never realized it when I drank. I didn't care. I always had to alcohol taking over my real feelings.

I need to read your entire thread. That is just a quickie note since you asked.
