Realizing that I could have fun without drinking, even when other people are drinking, was one of the biggest breakthroughs of my life. I would have quit anyways but what an awesome unexpected bonus. Drinking really screws with "having fun". When you're enjoying yourself you're plastered, making an ass of yourself, and not remembering stuff. Then when it's over you feel like crap. Wash, rinse, repeat. I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old and I wanted to be able to do whatever I needed to protect them at any time not drunk driving to ER or other crazy child endangerment scenarios (I'm sure you can think of a few). Bonus:I enjoy their company more without the drinking cycle for more reasons than I can list. More non drinking fun!

Three days was great, WWG, those were some tough days but were they worse than a "hairy dog of shame" hangover/binge? I think you can do this. A world of unexpected fun awaits you and your family.
