I'm with Hawks and fini on this one. I also made a choice to quit speed and other drugs. Alcohol didn't feel like a choice. If it had been my choice, I'd still be drinking. I didn't want to quit, ever. It was self-preservation instinct at the end that made me run from booze like it was something that was out to kill me -- which it was. Holding on to that conviction required support and reinforcement, so now it's a choice. But at my bottom I didn't have a rational mind that was capable of choosing. It was something... else.

silentrun, whatever is going on, I know you'll be ok, & no punking out.
