Where would you be today if you did not have nal. in your li

I wanted to start this thread because I can see so many changes in people, but I don't know where they think they would be without this process.
So if any of you wish to humor me I would so much appreciate it.

I know I would still be drinking 2+ bottles of wine today. Eventually my children would probably banish me, and my husband would most likely leave me. I would most like be homeless for I would not be able to hold down a job. Or worse they would set me up in rehab and the rest will follow.

Nal. has given me a new chance on life.

I might be peglegged from diabetes. THAT would suck. Also would be lonely without my little invisible friends.

Steve,

I agree with the diabetes thing. My dad is dead because his drinking caused his sugar levels to be unstable which cause him to have heart issue, and he died of a massive heart attack in intensive care. Diabetes is nothing to mess around with! And I would be lonely without you and my invisible friends as well.

Well I would be feeling pretty hopeless and down on myself. And of course lonely without all of MY little invisible friends too. And scared. Newlife

I would probably still be in the same place - but it would only get worse. Hanging in here .....

Hugs, Maggie x

Wow, UKB that one word is pretty powerful. I don't think I would end up dead, more just a bad downward spiral that would probably eventually slowly result in the loss of my marriage, maybe my job and the respect of my kids. Also just end up with a wasted life devoted to AL instead of anything worthwhile. Thinking about all of that makes me feel like I'd rather be dead.

Jaba, this was actually a powerful exercise. XOXO Newlife

Thank you newlife,

I started thinking about the reverse, and I thought my dad would still be alive, his father would have lived longer, and his mother would not have had stomach cancer. My mothers uncle would not have died on the train tracks...you get the picture. And then I though where would I be...scared me quite a bit.

And U.K. Blonde, newlife is right very, very powerful word...one I cried over...isn't great being an emotional women!
