Far better to like with integrity and not be a puppet to those fears and our addiction.
This is so true Nightowl. I had to get out and run a quick errand and was thinking about this thread. By getting some F2F support while she's gone(or when she's there) you'll have so much more time and energy to actually live life more fully. Man, when I was drinking I spent so much time and energy on it. There's so many other positive things to do than set around getting drunk whenever you can. It's truly a waste of time and steals your/our 'soul' eventually.
