I relapsed over Halloween and was determined not to let the holidays get the best of me this time around. I realize I could have a bazillion "occassions"/reasons to drink. But I have an overall big reason not to drink, which is that I want a better life! So I'm not sure what "clicked" with me but this time I'm really serious, and I thank all of you for the support, because it's really been helpful.
