Either could I until I gave up trying. By that I mean I gave up fighting with it. I waved the white flag. I was done trying to move the bottle around in my life. I was not even aware how much I did that until I stopped doing it. I had done it for 26 years. I had to admit it won and when I did that, when I admitted and accepted that fact, the war ended. It just simply ended and I was released from the jail I had lived in for over half of my life.

I am 10 months sober. You can do it too. We are all here for you and we have all been through it, some to more degrees then others, but we understand.

It all starts with day one, that first 24 hours.
