Wild cherry if I have my choice, but regular is fine.
See I'm afraid that because of wild cherry Pepsi I might transition to heroin.

I am 36 years old. At 23 I checked myself into treatment and stayed sober for 8 years. Thought I could handle it so tried to responsibly drink, that lasted for about 6 months and it got out of hand. Quit again for a while, and been on and off since then.
Currently I'm just running myself too thin, I work a full-time job, I'm a full time college student. Father of three kids under 7. Just too much shit going on, oh and we just moved in the middle of a semester. I'll get it knocked back here after this semester. I just can't take on so much and need to slow down. I've tried the therapist route and I did enjoy it but eventually I felt like the guy was just trying to explain away my poor choices and I stopped going. | ||

I have also been wrestling with alcoholism for twenty years. I have kicked a lot of drug habits including narcotics and benzos, but alcohol has proved the hardest to stop. I have also been to rehab. I turned 40 last month. I also am generally skeptical of mental health services after a string of bad ones about a decade ago that ended up with me in rehab, where I met people who made my problems seem inconsequential. I can't imagine caring for kids on top of all of those things.
Praying for you, Homesteaded, seriously. It's a fickle beast. One day at a time and stuff. If you can't stop, taper down. Ever read a book called This Naked Mind by Annie Grace? That's helped me in the past when AA didn't last | ||
