Colt, I think it's great that you recognize there are a lot of people who don't drink for various reasons and that alcohol is 'not' everywhere. I think because alcohol becomes an obsession for alcoholics, we think of it as being everywhere, when in fact it isn't.

I understand you wanting to quit for 100 days. If I had done that, I would have found that I didn't make the changes in myself and my life that I wanted and needed. In other words, I had to know that alcohol was never an option in my life, before I could begin to think of dealing with life without numbing myself. As long as there was a tiny crack in my thinking saying 'maybe', I didn't change.
