4thorns - thank you for the post and an update.
I went back and realized I had commented and read a number of your posts. Some of your addictive choices are similar to mine, though perhaps I have given in even deeper to the Beast on numerous occasions.
I have finally put down the booze for good. Still feel trepidation telling myself that - out of fear of failure or maybe my AV still piping up, I don't know.
But it's good to read you are where you are. Congrats on that. Stay strong and keep us updated.
