Welcome back to the right side of the road SammerasMama
I'm with received on this one - there will always be reasons to drink - and some of them may seem pretty darn valid, but we have to make that commitment to making different choices.
We have to take drinking off the table as a viable option.
Its not always easy - it's often uncomfortable, especially in the beginning, and we need to be strong and keep hold of the faith that things will get easier - but it's so so worth it to change our lives
