Hi
3rd time back here in the last year. Day 8. I'm such a better person when I abstain. So much more patient. I'm nicer. I produce better work. My house looks nice. Everything is better. I wish the hell I could remember this!!!

One day at a time. Just one day.

You know what else? There is nothing funny or cute about a drunk 58 year old woman. Nothing!

Welcome back TryingHarder!
I hear ya. Hate to admit this but that was a big part of me quitting. I was 54 when I quit. Good news! It can all be behind you! I just had the CEO of the company I work at tell me I was a very classy woman but so down to earth....a great combination. I've had several woman at work say it too.

I went from scary warning to role model! A year ago I never would have believed it.

I love that I don't drink. Don't miss one darn thing about it. Wasn't always easy but it can be done!

You can do it!

Failure is part of the process, what would we learn if we were perfect? Glad you're back.
