They all did it. Those wonderful MWO friends we have 'met' and who are still here trying to help us gain the same success as they have; they started out JUST LIKE US. We can all find people on here whose drinking pattern and/or lifestyle mirrored or mirrors our own.
I feel a connection with a few former red wine drinkers here who are middle aged and have nipped it in the bud before it got out of hand or damaged them too badly. I CAN be one of them. I have the same tools they had. I have intelligence, my life is a success in many ways.
Maybe we should choose a mentor; someone whose pattern and lifestyle is close to yours. Maybe we should find a way to team up with our similar peers and ask them a million questions and follow their good advice.
Why can't we succeed? The answer is that WE CAN. We can do this too.
What we need is for the commitment we feel as we write something as honestly and sincerely as I am right now to continue into the evenings when the urges inevitably come.
I truly want that.
