You hang onto that clear memory/feeling of almost dying, itsybitsyteenytiny, and be very grateful for it if that's what's keeping you sober. If you are an alcoholic (& it sure sounds that way), then you need to consider your drinking days
over.
But the great thing is that you don't have to make a lifetime commitment.
Each day, you commit to sobriety for the next 24 hours. If that becomes too much, you commit to one hour--and call on a support network you begin
now building for yourself so you're not in this all by yourself. How does that sound?
