Prayer is what keeps me clean and gives me strength when I am in my darkest personal time.

The desire to drink still has not totally gone away. It never will. Folks regret relapse after decades of sobriety.

I changed my lifestyle. I am a proud non drinker. Drinking was a learned behavior.

The main thing I have to do when all the activity is over and I sit alone is learn to handle some suffering.

My brain has been damaged by booze and has had to rewire. Any drinking will alter and stymie my growth.

I will never drink again. It will destroy me.

Thanks.
