I am new to this site.......I have 30 days sober today.....this is the longest I've made it this far in ages. I'm with dee74.... I like the term non essential......as in not key. That's a good way for me to look at people who cause disruptions in my life. I'm learning stuff from this site too and I finally figured out why I was drinking so many bottles of diet soda for months before I put my foot down on beer and quit quit. I no longer drink soda either. I got tired of it. I forget what my point is.......probably paws.....my final point is......this site rocks. There is so much good information.....I'm sorry that I didn't know about it earlier because I can see that it's really gonna help me.
