Hi, it's me. I had been drinking for twenty years off and on. I have not had more than 10 months of sobriety at once that entire time. For the past ten years, in fact, I have not had more than a couple of months of sobriety at once. I have been quitting for at least seven or eight years. I slipped and relapsed more times than I recall. Amazingly, I am here to say that the obsession to drink is gone for me right now. I'm healthy. My mind is mostly intact and healing every day. I remembered a short address off the top of my head and I was thrilled! So slowly the pieces are falling into place. Replacing drinking is not the problem. The problem is I don't feel like drinking anymore but I don't feel all too much like living yet, either. Weird. But it's ever so cool getting a chance to try it out. Thank you. Lisa
