Thank you for sharing, alcohol was a drug for me. For me drugs come in al shapes and sizes: liquid, solid, powdered, flesh and blood variety, and it is all an inanimate object until such a time as I choose to pick it up.

I thank you for your honesty, I know that if I picked up with would be drugs too, but I can't be in denial about my alcoholism. One thing has always lead to another, my prescription drugs were just dired up alcohol.

I didn't have black outs with alcohol but I did with my pills, I could walk around and function on alcohol but I couldn't on pills. It isn't about the substance, it is about me. I don't have a drinking and drugging problem today, I have a thinking problem and that is why I have to work this program one day at a time. My thinking tells me I am okay, it tells me I don't have a disease, it tells me I don't have to go to meetings, it tells me I am right and the rest of the world is messed up!
