Hi,

Well, as have been routine for me I usually pitch in on the eve of my monthly anniversaries. Turned out to be a horrible day today at work, I just came back from vacation and I had an accident on vacation, where I broke my glasses and got stuck in a potential serious situation. I was camping in a wilderness and lets just say my maker finally decided that I should be around. I got back from this horrible experience only to be overwhelmed at work and pushed hard by insensitive people. So lets just say this day was tough and I'm glad its over. I didn't drink which I would have done ten months ago so that's a plus. To be honest the anniversary is tomorrow and I already feel better after putting this out here. Not sure this contributes to anything but posting my monthly updates helps me stay accountable.

My wife has been out of town for a week tomorrow and she will be gone for another two weeks, funny thing is that I have not had any urges to drink and I hope I can stay that way. Thanks for reading.

Yes, I do, I know how you feel, it's not an easy ride. However, you really need to think about all the negatives alcohol has done to you, especially when the urge to drink shows up. If you don't have any negatives to bring up then I simply think you are not a problem drinker. Anyway, it helps to think it through when you get an urge, also you really need to have a reason to quit such as being sick and tired of drink or simply a strong will to end this miserable lifestyle. I am one of the few people who believe that will power has a lot to do with it. I understand people saying that oh, he couldn't help it, he's addicted, well I understand that and I was addicted, but if you don't have any kind of will power to change your lifestyle and quit dwelling about alcohol, then you will have a long hard run. I don't want to sound harsh or rude but it takes a backbone to succeed.
