Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

I was BRAINWASHED

into thinking I could live a LIFE not just exist, into thinking I could be of benefit to others, that I didn't have to be alone, that I could overcome negative behaviors and offer a legacy of HOPE.

No one can ever rob me of those facts just because they don't agree. Thank GOD for Treatment and the 12 Step philosophy which raised me from my coffin and allowed me to really live and to be able to think outside of the box (and NOT confined by a new one).

You are right on! I was brainwashed too, the same way and I didn't even know my brain needed washing! Now I wouldn't have it any other way, I love my life today, wish they taught the 12 steps of living in school when I was growing up!

I too was brainwashed and i thank God eveery day for that cleansing.
My head was so full of garbage that It to several trips to the dump to clean it out and I must disinfect it on a regular basis.
The one thing I know for certain is that my thinking always leads to trouble.

I'm just catchin up..you guys are so busy during the day and I miss out. My brain also took lots of detergent...I think it's called detox. It still gets dirty again from time to time but I have to admit, I do like it a lot better when it's clean.

My sponsor did tell me last week that some are more sick than others. I so needed my brain washed. I actually thought I had God like powers. Then thought the whole world was out to get me because it did not do what I wanted them to do or think the way I wanted them to think. My HP has that control. Not me. Wash, spin, rinse. Stained??? Yes, but my brain is clean. Especially after the drying cycle :)

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
