Hi OB/Rob

I wanted to be normal too. I felt normal until recently....but then I realized that my drinking was out of control. It's addiction and it makes no sense. It has no sense of fairness either.

And I didn't want my children to grow up thinking it was ok. I wanted them to be proud of me. I feel so much closer to them now!

I'm four months in, and I feel so much better. My whole appearance looks different - skin healthier, eyes not bloodshot with bags. I've lost 17 pounds in four months because I'm not consuming 2,000 calories of wine every day.

And the best part - no hangovers.

I'm free. And so I wish for you.

I'll be rooting for you.
