Please don't take anything for granted.
Again, and I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but that didn't work for me either, cos my old life was all about drinking. It became torture - I was either miserable with this huge alcohol shaped hole in my life, or I'd drink again.
I hope you find it's a different outcome for you, CL.

Okay, thanks for your insight...I'll consider this, and definitely approach with more caution in the future.
I guess all it takes is a little encouragement from a friend and a rush of blood to the head and BOOM...back to day one.
I guess naturally my life will change post-alcohol with little attraction in dragging myself across town to sit and sip Coke in a bar...
