Welcome Rise - it's great to have you here with us. We look forward to hearing more of your story when you feel ready.
I drank for many years and it colored everything I did. It's in the looking back that I see it - at the time it seemed like so much fun & a great escape from monotony. I coudn't have been more wrong than to build my life around it. Thankfully, you've seen the light. Be proud, not ashamed. Let us know how it's going, Rise.
