I am only happy I'm not drinking, but am dealing with my emotions soberly, which is a big change. Hope I am not the bummer to others like I feel I am right now.
Definitely NOT a bummer, Horselover. Glad you hung in there!!!

Tomorrow I begin day 3 again. No wait -- it IS day 3 for me here on the East coast, and I AIN'T GONNA QUIT!!!!
