Thanks SH, BG and LLL!
I just wanted any newcomers to know that it can be done. When I got here after trying to quit on and off for the last 5 years, and seeing it progress to where it took over every aspect of my life, I really needed to find solutions, and I found them here. My drinking was the cause of every bad thing that had ever happened in my life for the last 27 years, and I thought I could not live without it. My whole life had been based on getting drunk. How would I ever survive? All my friends drink, all my family drinks, I drank to celebrate, to mourn to cure depression, when I was bored, to socialize, to do the yard work, to entertain clients......How would I survive without drinking??
Well if you want something bad enough and you focus on what you want, you will find a way. It wasn't easy, but it was more than worth it. It was tyruly the best thing I ever did for myself!
Thanks again!
