Thank you guys. Blue Skies, I have drank since I was 15 and I am 27 now. I was usually a binge drinker, but I had periods where I drank all day every day and couldn't do anything. Tonight after my run I just went to the store for a sandwich and I was in a really good mood and was nice to the guy making my sandwich, and he is a student at my school, and I was thinking, "jeez, maybe people haven't been talking to me because I look depressed and angry all the time." But because I was in a good mood I smiled and said something funny, and I was just nice, and he was nice to me. So I am learning to feel happy without booze. It has been so long that I wanted to quit drinking and now I know this is the time for me. I don't have to go out to bars or party to have a good time, and I am not wasting my life by living a quiet, disciplined life right now. Thank you all for the support and I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

It really is like a different world when we get our of our own head and misery and just enjoy small talk or a kind disposition. I've noticed more and more other people seeking to be kind and courteous to each other, and me as well. Seems like so many are just aching for some small kindness or joy that even the smallest effort pays off huge for everyone!
