Thank you for having the courage to share your journey, John. I appreciate being able to understand you better. It sounds as if you had the humanist version of a rebirth or an awakening. I don't know if you would use those same words to describe your experience, but nevertheless, it has resulted in a profound change in your thinking and consequently in your actions. Certainly you have ended up in a far better place as compared to where you were before when you were drinking. I am glad that you have found a path that works for you and brings you peace. Susan
