Good Morning Abbers!
Mary, enjoy the day with your G-sons at the nature program! Doing stuff like that really helps to "break the cycle" as you say. I have found the minute you let up and 'relax', AL takes that opportunity to sneak up on you and try and exploit any weaknesses in you daily efforts.
Good to see you back and doing so good Beck!
R2C, I feel for you as you seem to be in a difficult spot. The good thing is you do realize your need to make a change but trying to find yourself at the same time is what could be the hard part. Focus on the not drinking part of your life and the missing you just might appear when you least expect it.
I know when I did get far enough away from my old drunk self, it was the other people in my life who noticed the changes first. Whether the changes in your life are big or small, it will be worth the effort and I think it is great that you are still trying to do it!
Have a great AF day everyone!
