Just know that you're not alone! Even though I know better, I slipped into a minimal use of beer to alleviate the pain of working my hind quarter off every day to try to make some sort of living. It's so easy to "fall off the wagon", but credit yourself with the sober time that you have accumulated, it's not lost!

I guess if I have a point, it's to never give up trying to quit!

A lot of people never fail to underestimate the power of simply making your bed every morning.

Good luck with your painting class; I've been a painter my whole life.

being permanently sober is hard, in the beginning - but the more I did it the better it felt, and the easier it got.

I realised a lot of my drinking was to try and please people - to ft in, to not bring others down, to assuage my angst when I couldn't tell people what I wanted to say, or to try to live with things I was too scared to try and do anything about.

The more sober time I had the more I valued myself - and the more I valued myself the less desire I had to drink.
