8 weeks!!!!

My Friends,

I can sit here today and tell you that this has been the longest I have gone without a drink in about 4 years. I feel really good and I am so happy. It almost brings tears to my eyes to think what I used to be like and the difference in my life now. I read book. I go hiking on the weekends. I hang out with my kids and I am not fighting a hangover when I do it. I know my wife is a lot happier now and I am excited I was able to do this not only for myself, but for her and the kids as well. I pray to my HP that this continues. I spoke to a good friend of mine today and he was wasted and probably won't even remember my call. I will someday thank him for that conversation as it just reinforced how much better I am without booze. Now, I am taking a new medication to help with my mood swings and I am hopping that is the last component I need to get on with my life. Oh, and I need to lose this 50lb keg I am carrying around on my body as well. I really want to thank everyone here for their kind words of support. It really means a lot. More than some of you know. Let's keep going and do this together.

Chris
