Tonight I went to my anti-drinking rehab group to try and
keep me sober. I am amazed at the fear people have of relapse. A guy is going
to have an operation on his leg. He will be hospitalized for two days and he is
afraid the pain killers they will give him will trigger a relapse.
Gordon pointed out that pain relief is necessary for people
to heal. So he has to have some pain killers. He has to be careful and not use
more than necessary. Other people in the group talked of avoiding pain killers
when going through medical procedures.
REALLY!!
As if I would avoid painkillers! One guy even talked of using Ibuprofen
instead of narcotics. What a waist. That would never happen with me.
They also talked about going to AA meetings and hearing from
older drunks who have had far more hair rising experiences than the younger
people who get into the program. The thing is—I used to enjoy my drug and
alcohol induced debauchery. I am older so I have more stories. But I was not
miserable. True there have been consequences and some have been rather
negative. But it wasn’t all bad.
