Aww, ((((leasty)))). Ya know, helping others to stop drinking can be a really good thing. It acually has a dual effect in that by doing it you also keep yourself from drinking. Hearing other people's stories becomes a part of our story and then we don't feel so alone and despairing. There really is strength in numbers, especially for us who want to escape the grasp alcohol has on us. Hearing others' stories is particularly effective when it's 3D. By that I mean face to face. Friendships develop and their is a sense of support that can't be obtained by any other means.
The struggling you've experienced the past few days has helped me to abstain drinking for another day. Reading your experience has helped me stay sober for one more day.
So, thanks! I thought you should know.
