Celebrating year number 2..
Yes last time I posted here was June 6th 2010 when I celebrated my first year. This post finds my second year without a single drop.
See you all in another year

I shall add an additional comment:
Firstly thank-you all for your well wishes and prayers.
Though I must say it has profoundly changed my life and not necessarily like you would expect all for the better. I still experience moderate to extreme PAWS (at times..not always) and I've found myself greatly retracting from society.I have pretty much terminated all interaction with the public, friends and the like. I've stopped golfing (used to get in 50+ rounds a year), stopped curling, business lunches, and family gatherings and travel/holidays. All of these encounters naturally involved drinking in the past...for years, and now my life seems empty. I'd say it would be fair to call it depression. I don't know how long this will last but for the time being abstinence comes first. I seldom have the cravings for alcohol as the need to drink has gone but at times I still really want the euphoric effects...the high. But just knowing this enforces the fact I'm not over the urge...and never may..so I fly low...and stay a recluse from society..only time shall tell for how long.
Adieu and strength to all until next year...be strong and God bless
