"It is part of the cure to want to be cured."-Seneca
My promise of waking at 5:00 every morning didn't fare too well. I awoke at 8:30 to the sound of my 3 year old screaming for more juice in her bottle. Yes, we are both on the bottle. But I have my drinking under control, as you can see, I wasn't the one screaming for someone to refill my bottle at 8:30 in the morning. My promise of not drinking was also left unfulfilled. I mean, I can't quit cold turkey. One of the medications I take says something to the effect of "be under a doctor's supervision when eliminating alcohol from your diet." I take some of the directions very seriously. One of the other medications I take says "May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify the effect. Use care when operating a car or dangerous machinery." This just sounds interesting, like a challenge. And we all know I like challenges. This is possibly why I have 3 children.
So, one must desire to be cured in order to be cured. I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I do want to be cured and other times I enjoy the fact that not everyone can drink as much as I can and still function. Today I will focus on wanting to be cured so that I can be cured! And my definition of cured is "feeling sedated. Always."
