I could almost taste it, see lights reflecting on the glass.
I knew when I fully woke up it was just a dream and not a reality.
My subconscious moving memory chips around?
Thank you Friend

Other specific cravings pop up from time to time. I quit drinking like 25 years ago. Don’t really think of it much anymore but it’s in there somewhere

Friday and Saturday nights are tough around dinner time. I loved chugging a couple beers while cooking. And then sipping wine the rest of the night. But I'd eventually pass out and accomplish absolutely nothing. Except pissing my wife off. So now I grab a bowl of ice cream and watch some tv. Usually in bed shortly after 9. Much better this way.

Keep up the good work. It does get better!

That's 3 months! I've been there. I didn't think I could make 3 days, then all of a sudden it was 6 months! And now that was 12 years ago. It's definitely been worth it.

Going to AA Meetings, EA Meetings, OA Meetings, and CODA Meetings has Saved My Life.

So many times I wanted to give up. I say the Serenity Prayer many times a day..Every Day.
