Thank you all for the advice. It is truly uplifting to be on this journey with every one of you.
My last embarrassing drunk episode was last Friday night, so I am still sheepish because of that. But I agree I believe it helps give inspiration to NOT take that first drink. NO!! Too much can go so very wrong just by taking that first drink!!
Drinking used to be fun. It's not anymore. And I agree that those of us who kept at it hoped it would become fun again. I don't recall even one time in the past few years when drinking was more fun than it was embarrassing. Not one.
