I too have hurt the people that I love by drinking. Made promises and broke them. Driven drunk. Pasted out in parking lots in my car. Just about every thing take you have done I have done. I am lucky that I didn't hurt any one and I am lucky to be alive. Just know that I read your advise every day and take it to heart. Your advise and learning about my AV has made the challenge not so much a challenge. I feel so different about this time. I've try to stop other times for other people but this time is for me and I feel good. I am reinventing my self with exercise, volunteer work, reading, this forum, counselling, eating right etc. Thanks to all my classmates for the incredible inspiration.
