You'll always think like an alcoholic until you change your thinking...
That makes a lot of sense...I've been an alcoholic way longer than I've ever been sober in my life. Thanks for making that point
Thanks for the good reminders here. I too keep thinking it will be different this time...I've cried over the fact that I can't drink "normally"...it's so frustrating, but I'm accepting that this is how it is with me.
