You're doing great, strangeangel. Yeh, others don't really understand what we go through just to not pick up a drink.

Have you told him that you would like an extra cuddle here and there? Was there tension between you when you were drinking? Sometimes it takes a while for our loved ones to trust us again.

Don't try that experiment of enjoying a beer. I tried that and it doesn't work.

Just stay busy, I try to remember the reasons that brought me here and why I decided to quit. That's always more than enough to change my mind.
