It was a result of a lot of effort and some tough, getting-honest with-myself-and-others work.


What are your plans to get it? Because I can tell you that just "waiting" for it to happen won't bring it about.


Definitely not just sitting around waiting for it. I have been changing things I do everyday and the people I talk too. I will start to go to AA meetings regularly... even counseling.

I started to drink because it was fun, then it became because I had to cope with day to day struggles. I meant to say I cant wait for the day I dont feel the urge to grab a bottle to cope, its a long road ahead
