Well - you got through that! It was great to hear you made it through that test.
I've had some close calls too. For me, when I think about what the repercussions would be - hungover, maybe start drinking again - I slows me down.
Then I start to think WHY? Why would a drink make this better? I've already done everything sober that I did drunk - at least the things I want to do. And they were usually better when sober.
And being "normal"? I don't want to be normal. Normal is boring. I'd rather be special.
Congrats on your time so far and getting past this temptation.
