``When sufferings are lived through and the person comes out the other side, in a strange way his/her life has been enriched in a way that you couldn't put a price on.``

This quote from ... (can't remember her/his name, a few post above anyway,)
brought tears to my eyes, I find the price to pay to enriched my life (soul) is as hard as the first time, even with the deep knowledge I integrated each time I went to rehab or stop using by myself.


I decided about 10 days ago to walk the path leading to sobriety. Again.
How many times will I have to do it..

In a way it's only a rethorical question.

I know about the pleasures and enhanced sensations I can experiment under the influence of alcool or drugs, I know also about the consequences (money, self equilibrium, pain in my son's eyes, etc.)

This time thou I have a different motivation. I want to keep my appartment, and I will not be able to do so if I continue to drink (which often leads me to a video poker machine)

More an other day

thanks to all of you, friends.
