and I'm pretty sure about tomorrow too. Ok I'm certain about tomorrow. But now I'm getting ahead of myself.

Happy to be here. Thanks much. Physical withdrawal was doing fine until yesterday. I had gone the entire work week sober so I was detoxed and beginning to feel good. But last night I poisoned myself again and today the hangover felt like I'd been on a week long bender. They have been getting worse and I'm starting to feel the body pushing back on years of abuse. Mostly the gut. Acid reflux big time and its totally the booze. Can't be good.

This is my 3rd go at quitting. I've been 5 months sober twice but that seems to be when the temptation breaks me (surely I can handle a beer or two). Always leads to the same place.

My brother is clean just shy of a year now and that guy kicked heroin after a good 10 years so if he can do that. I can kick the drinking.

Great quote. Although I don't feel like I've wasted the last 30 years, I'm sure I've wasted much of that time.
