Tomorrow is garbage day in my neighbourhood, and I am proud to say the empty rum bottle is on the curb. I did need it as a reminder in my first few days as to what got me to make the final decision to stop. But the bottle has since been replaced by so many new and much more positive reminders. It's a good feeling to come to the realization that I have made some progress.
