Thank you Daredevil, I appreciate your kind words. I just wanted to say, from personal experience, that the “no matter what” can be effective, in the face of desire. I know my brain is habituated to lighten my load, bring me pleasure, remove my anxiety and fears: but sadly, it fixated upon alcohol, instead of more life-affirming actions! I do hope you don’t drink today.
