OK, Byrdie, here's a small speech for ya. First of all, thank you so much - everyone - for the encouragement and support. I do feel that this thread holds me accountable and has stopped me from drinking on many occasions. Coming back here after my many benders is not easy, but I'm so glad I have never given up. Starting over at Day 1 is not the proudest thing to do, but everyone has to start somewhere, and you know what? One of these Days 1 is going to stick for each and every one of us here - even me!

What makes this time different than all the other gazillions times I've tried to quit? Two things, really. First, I'm thinking of these sober days not as a time of recovery but instead a time of discovery. I'm getting out and doing things that are not normal for me. I'm reaching beyond my comfort zone and getting involved in activities and meeting loads of people. I'm filling up my days with healthy choices and fun events. Look at all these things I can do now that I'm not hungover every day. Look all the places I can go because I can actually drive there now!!

This leads to my second point. For the past thirty days, I've really focused on making new habits and establishing new routines in my life. For me, I personally don't think alcohol is a disease - for me, it's really a BAD CHOICE - A BAD HABIT. Many of us view alcohol in different ways - but whether we call it an addiction, a disease, or a bad habit - we can all agree that it's a negative force in our lives that is ruining our relationships, destroying our self-esteem, and turning us into people we don't want to be!

Everyone here - let's keep trucking down this sober path and take our lives back! It's all out war here. We have to stick together. We are an army, and the beast is out there ready to strike! Alcohol - you will NOT destroy me. You are already dead....
