Thank you. I do love my girlfriend and without her, I would not have had the motivation to quit drinking. Alcohol reduced my libido and caused me both physical and mental problems that I am just now trying to overcome. I often got teased by people I know because of the fact that I went so long without sex. It seems strange to people without an addiction problem that a relatively young, heterosexual man would be able to go so long without a relationship of any kind (sexual or otherwise) with a member of the opposite sex. The reason was because I was already in a relationship. A relationship with alcohol. I've now ended that relationship and am trying to move on with my life. Hopefully this chapter will provide true happiness rather than the false sense of temporary happiness I felt whenever I took a drink.
