thanks folks-i know this is goin to help me-i feel sick at the thought of how much alcohol has taken control of my life and its a scary thing to think that i dont want to drink again-and the hardest part of that is knowing its GOT to be done-for the sake of my health and the fact that my 9yr old son is starting to notice me drinking-it was ok but now the daily opening of a beer is getting earlier and earler-i grew up with 2 parents that abused alcohol and it was a sh**ty childhood for me-watching that-and as far as i'm concerned my son isnt going to be going through the same emotions etc that i did as a kid
