Thank you all.
Lenina -- I was Navy for just under 9 years from 91-99. It was one of my better decisions in life.
Life is good for me now too and getting better every day.
I just got in from an excellent spinning class. The first one since that last drink day. I was really good making 3 - 5 a week up until the last 3 months when I really starting drinking more and more.
I was always very "functional" (or so we think). But these last 3 months I shifted priorities. My exercise time was always my gauge if I was still engaged in the real world. When it started to slip it was really what helped me realize it was time to admit what I had become (again).
Least -- my next bump in the road is a planned trip to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. I don't think I will be tempted to drink there -- I am just so afraid I will be so incredibly bored. I will have to work out an entertainment plan.
