Better, Faster

Me, I felt I'd turned one of many corners about ~2 weeks in; last January.

Then, a couple of months in, I turned another corner. By this, I mean there was an unmistakable 'lifting' of that oppressive feeling, and my Head cleared up more at each incremental step I'm trying to convey.

4 months or so, a relative Cake Walk. Same at 6 months.

So, MISTER Broken Record, here, also will repeat that it does get easier, relatively faster.

Folks ask about 'just quitting'. Easier than I imagined it after Week 2 or so. There's no fn way I'd go back to 'that' marginal existence prior. I don't have another Home Detox in me. More to the point, I just have no interest in Drinking anymore. BAM! Done.

To quote the inimitable Charlie Sheen: 'I had 40 years of Drinkin' in me. But, I used 'em up in 20'.

Hang tight. The personal rewards are immense.
