Hi, August.
Stay strong. AV is just a voice. It's powerless. It really is. It's just a con who tries to convince you otherwise. Don't believe.
Great that you have a plan.
Sending you positive vibrations.

Thanks, August.
I am not bad, somewhat fighting blue moods, financial issues and other staff.. But I am sober, and that's great)
Take care and don't listen to AV)

There gets to be a point when the "comfort" of alcohol suddenly doesn't appeal any longer. It's like when you're a little kid, afraid of the dark, and you put on the night light. Eventually you understand that the fears aren't real...or aren't the kind of things that a night light can dispel. At that point you've outgrown the night light, and it never again becomes an option for confronting your fears. Not a perfect analogy but that's how alcohol is to me. I've laid it down and walked far enough ahead that I can see now that it was always false comfort, not comfort.
Every day will get easier...or at least you'll get used to it being hard! I wonder if they're not the same thing in the end.

august, looks to me you're doing great! keep it up, your last post made me recall my "shame haul", wheeling an 80 lb trashcan full of bottles to the curb, listening to them clanging off one another and feeling relived that i wouldn't be there in the morning to hear the trash truck pick them up with that claw, and hearing 30 or 40 beer and wine bottles crashing into the back of that truck, and also hoping none of the neighbors are near when it happens ... can anyone relate?

Fight the good fight August!! I'm laughing so hard about the "shame haul"!! I'm all to familiar!! Ugh, and had a former drinking buddy, who I told I was quitting, relentlessly trying to lure me out to the bar tonight ...but I did not falter!
