What made it 'click' for you?
I realize my health wasn't going to last forever
As I'm aging I started on BP Medications and cholesterol lowering meds. My dad just entered a assisted living home after several years as a heavy drinker. He can still read books but he forgets what he reads immediately. Well guess what, after several years of drinking, I started wondering what the future held for me. I've done stupid things when I've been drinking and had several black eyes and injuries but I started realizing I was the only one that could change how my health my turn out in the end. So I've been AF for 4 months. I love it and feel better than ever. My BP and cholesterol are dropping too.

What made it 'click' for you?
Such a weird thing...I didn't have a major thing. I suppose a couple of things happend. I knew in my mind that things were getting out of control. I am 36 and drinking 2 bottles of wine a night and sometimes after that runs out moving to whatever else I can find in the house no matter what it tastes like. Sick. My husband and I just got custody of his 12 year old son. His mom was abusive. While i am a happy drunk, he doesn't need to live with a drunk. He doesn't need to be faced with living with abuse or a drunk, poor kid. One day, my husband and my step-son and I were playing monopoly and I got up to get yet another drink, and I just fell over, banged my head on a file cabinet, broke a clip in my hair. My husband and I laughed it off and we continued, but it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The next morning, I'm looking up books on Amazon.com and I found her book, read reviews, it mentioned this website. I did some reading, ordered the book, read some posts and here I am 9 days AF (for the first time in I don't know 7 or 8 years) and feeling great!
