Wasn't gonna Post But ...

Reading about everyone struggling today; and knowing how hard it is .. As I type this I can barely contain the tears; not just b\c of the physical pain or the emotional pain I am going through; but b\c I didn't buy a pint of alcohol today when I could of. Thinking about this has me so sad that I am actually that hooked that I am upset I didn't throw away "my life" today. Just a thought of how strong this demon is .. I am out to sleep I hope Be strong people I made it through the day So I am sure we all can ..

Hi August,
I can only go by my experience, but, eventually I didn't think about alcohol in the same way any more. It is no longer a part of my life in the same way it once was.
It does get better.

Stay sober and you'll never have to go through these things in quite the same way ever again.

A W, between time zones and your work schedule the days around here blend together--I hope you can find some sleep.

I know that you are solid in your resolve to stay sober, and wish you the best in overcoming the hurdles you face.

It's still yesterday here...
