But, I drank so I could keep on going, keep on working, keep on getting things done- without it affecting me to much.

Hard to write that. Wish I could make it sound better. I know it's no excuse and Im not looking for one. Just being honest. Committed to facing the music tonight.

Not gonna do it ....
Hey Izzy. Just remember you will never regret not drinking, but you will regret letting AV call the shots. Sometimes we have to tough it out to build up those sober muscles. Good for you for posting. Stay strong tonight.
