What Dee said could be right Tay.

I mourned the loss of alcohol in my life, when I finally let it go. It was a loss. And, after awhile I stopped grieving for it. I didn't struggle with the issue though, once I accepted that I could not drink.

Have you read "Drinking: A Love Story" by Caroline Knapp? It's one of my absolute favorite books. It's a memoir by a young, high-functioning alcoholic woman and it's so honest. She talks about her love affair with alcohol and how she gave it up. I knew when I read it, that if she could do it, I could do it. I loved the book.
