How many? Half hearted or whole hearted? Well countless half hearted. Two whole hearted. First whole hearted was 8 years ago and lasted bout 2 years. It was great. Well, let's just say that 2 years with no alcohol made no difference. I tried alcohol with moderation and I failed miserably. So...alcohol handles me and I can't handle it and that is a disastrous combination. So I had to make a choice... my life with alcohol or my life. And that's why I'm here. I'm choosing my life.
