CP77, I'm sure you've heard the saying, alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerful.

I'm sure there are very few people who, before they pick up their first drink, sit and weigh the Family History of alcoholism.

I didn't. There is also a strong history of alcoholism in my Family. Looking back, every get together my Family had included alcohol. Christmas & eggnog, Labor Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day, coolers full of beer, Easter & Thanksgiving Dinner's always had a few different choices of fine wine . . .

And then when alcoholism came to be something that began to pop up in families, we seem to think, like with so many other things in life,

"It's not going to happen to me."

But, it has. Don't focus on being angry at yourself, that will keep you drinking. Just focus on One Day at A Time.

Congratulations on Day 4. Just keep doing what you're doing.

God Bless,
Judy
