Quoting you, Erratic, to let you know that what you say is important and true and meaningful (and not at all a rant, my friend). That sentence above puts it perfectly -- there is no way I want to end up back where I was. Where I was, was alone and lost. Where I am now, there is hope.
Angd -- what a terrible week! Sending hugs your way. I often think that being without the alcohol forces you feel everything much more vividly, including the stressful stuff, but it also gives you a much better shot at dealing with it the right way. This too shall pass.
Phoebe -- although we're all floating around cyberspace and not in your real life, hopefully you know that we all support you and also are supported by your kind thoughts and words. For real.
Magellan - great job on resisting the urge!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
