Glad you got something out of it! I have bookmarked it so I can go back when needed.

Yeah - I had a light turn on and it was a serious turning point. The point where "I got it." But it's the decision that is set - not the lifestyle - yet.
I'm only a bit over a week into sobriety and it's challenging. I'm determined, I get it, I HAVE TO QUITE... I'm still working on the lifestyle part.
My boyfriend says something like "since when is anything worth doing easy?"
