welcome back seared - remember what you said last time?

It took me a long time to accept the fact that I can't drink, as I remember clearly all the parties and great times I had while drinking. After a while it became tough to have fun without it. My light at the end of the tunnel is that I lived the first 17 years of my life without drinking, and it is possible to do without it.
I think that acceptance is very important. Support can really help too.

I know how hard it can be to reach out - but I really don't think any of us does this alone.

Reaching out to others and listening to what they had to say was pretty much the smartest thing I ever did - after quitting drinking

You can get back to being that non drinker

Do you have any kind of a plan from here, Seared?
