I think all of us in recovery can write a book as to why we chose to do it. Because it is something that we struggled with for so long it wasn't something we arrived at casually.

Please don't take my words as condescending or inflammatory. I simply want you to succeed. And I think that in order to do so, you will need deep conviction and a sense that you have no other recourse.

All the best to you. I am just one here who is cheering you on. I am sober today because I daily ask myself "why?"

Got it! I definitely did not want to give up my wine, but, frankly, cutting back is already not working out so well, and I'm tired of how much space it is taking up in my life - emotionally, physically, financially.

It's going to mean HUGE changes for me, but after nightmaring about my daughter and waking up totally PARCHED the other night, I'm wondering, "What in the HELL am I doing?"

I still owe the wine store about $1500.00, and this is totally stupid.
