Hi LFemme, you just reminded me to do my laundrey today. I agree, its babysteps all the time, but with babysteps the changes are hugs. My house too is much cleaner, my cats healthier and I think my work is improving. Also my writing is improving. There are so many things to do. I also communicate more with people and make people feel better about themselves. It is amazing what a life without alk does. I was at a business dinner yesterday and they ordered a bottle of wine. I had 2 diet cokes instead had a good time. I actually relaxed. It is amazing how normies can talk 3h over 1 bottle of wine for 4 people..... If it would ahve been me I would ahve needed 4 bottles for myslef in the 4h....
