Hey John, my life can be very alone too sometimes, I live on my own, no kids, no wife, I go to work, then come home to an empty house, and that is what I kept telling myself when I continued to drink, I wasn't hurting anyone else, I had no responsibility to anyone else, and if I died, who would mind, there would be no consequences.

But what about us, about me and you, what about our life or the life that we want, surely me and you, we deserve something more, a slice of happiness that maybe others over there seem to be having.

That is why I gave up drinking as I knew I wouldn't find it at the bottom of a bottle, instead maybe I might find it in Sobriety. I'd still be drinking now if I continued to dwell on the things I don't have and not on what I could achieve and build on the foundation of Sobriety.

Sure I still come home to an empty house, but I'm definitely in a better place, and that leap of faith is tough at first, but it worked.

Hang in there John!!
