Well, I lost my long post, but here's a short update:
I have been negligent with posting lately; however, I am home from some minor surgery today, so have some excuse to be lazy! It seems that some or our Nobender family have been struggling. Here's a big virtual hug for you, along with strength.
I am 4 months sober, and I can honestly say that I've not been tempted once to drink. I think I have experienced what is called "spontaneous Sobriety". This is addressed some in the alternative threads. It is really quite amazing. Also, I had posted some time back about being concerned with still having liver pain after quitting. I am happy to say, that my liver pain is now gone! Our bodies are really remarkable! After so many years of abusing it, we are working together on our healing.
Love and peace to you all.
