Shocked I started to fulfill some of my duties besides not drinking and stopped using drinking as a crutch. I found work was a good therapy as it got me away from self thinking thoughts. It takes time and I wanted what I wanted NOW but it doesn't work that way. Work and self discipline works for the long term. BE WELL
