Today I had a public success that would have been impossible with an alcohol habit. I still cannot believe that "me" and "success" can be in the same sentence. I am trying to process this impossible thing in my mind now. New forces have entered my life that are pulling me further away from drinking. My social-life problem--of having friends that have to be avoided--is starting to solve itself. My new friends are going to be a good influence. Thanks for listening! SR is the best.
