Amen to that. I don't want to endorse failures, but they are incredibly useful. For most of us, quitting is a process.
My current temptations really surprise me, but maybe they shouldn't. The reality is that drinking is enjoyable to many. Having a drink with friends can be fun and relaxing. I need to be honest about that yet also honest with the fact that my drinking would not stop there. Yes, I miss some aspects of drinking, but I don't miss the negative aspects which, in my case, far out weigh the positive.
I suppose that's just where I'm at in my journey ... which is a different place than where I was 150 days ago ... and probably is a different place than where I'll be in another 150 days.
Thanks for listening folks ...
