Hi Shitzupuppy, welcome to our little corner of the Internet! Your puppy avatar is so cute.
I found freedom from alcohol after reading the AVRT threads here, together with the book. It's about personal empowerment, responsibility and morality. It truly resonated with me, on an intuitional level. I made my Big Plan, and since, I can sincerely say, that drinking is behind me, forever.
As a consequence, I have clarity of mind, have rebuilt my self-confidence, self-respect and self-esteem, which were previously destroyed by daily drinking (compounded by my experience with a recovery support group and its ego-deflation program).
I've permanent freedom from alcohol, to live my life as my conscience directs. I'm glad you're here and posting.
The nuances do seem a little odd at first, but as you read more, if you have any questions whatsover, then please ask.
