Liquor--Or Life

Hi; Jazz here again. I'm gonna keep this one refreshingly short, unlike my last post! I just want to share this for the benefit of my fellow alcoholics/drug addicts. A lot of times, I find myself grumbling that I can't have a beer a day for my heart health, as heart disease does run in my family. But that's just one excuse. Even if it didn't run in my family, I'd surely find plenty of other reasons; they come a dime a dozen with me! Sometimes it's nothing more than "I saw one on TV"! How's that for an excuse to do something dangerous and self-destructive?! Or one of my other favorites is: "It's a holiday, according to the calendar, so gotta celebrate it!" Yeah, but somehow I don't think God will give me the green light to have a beer (or several!) to honor George Washington's birthday, or even Benjamin Franklin's birthday! And I'm positive He won't give permission to go get a 6-pack in honor of Popcorn Day or Friendship Day, or the day the moon comes out full! Nope, not even then! What it comes down to is the only real choice I have, ANY day of the year: LIQUOR OR LIFE! No other options for me! And no other options for ANYONE addicted to drugs or alcohol. So stay strong and God bless; Jazz.

For many of us it has to be black and white. It is the grey areas that get us in trouble.
