This part of Dee's post resonates with me about actions being louder than words. I've been privileged to know Dee for almost three years, the very last thing I would call him is a "BSer".
Dee's honesty and reaching out have been one of the fundamentals to my recovery.
I know Dee wasn't looking for such comments when he wrote the OP but his actions here at SR do speak louder than any promise he may once have made.
I told virtually no-one when I decided to quit finally. I knew that saying I was giving up alcohol would be meaningless unless people saw it.
They see it. It turns out that doing it is way more effective than anything I could say.
