In the past I would have picked up a large bottle of vodka and wasted a day.
Sat around drinking all day and probably blacked out by now.
Wake up tomorrow very sick and drag my butt to work.

I pondered a while about the way things were.
The one thing that really scared me was the time I stayed home from work sick and then started to drink again in the morning. You know, the whole "hair of the dog thing". I looked in the mirror that morning and said to myself" yah know Bob, you really have a problem now".
And sadly it was at least a month before I strung together a little sober time.
I'm thankful,very thankful.
I hope that anybody that is struggling will look back , take a good hard look at one of your darkest moment while drunk.
Use it against that ole AV and kick this before it goes on any longer.
Great post and great advice, Bob .

Congratulations on 27 months; what a fantastic accomplishment!!!!!!!!!
