Well, I am doing AF starting today. My health is screwed up (liver) and I don't know how much longer I have, so I am going for it. Wish me luck!

:welcome: and good luck!!

However, it also takes some planning and determination.

I am very sorry to hear your liver is damaged. My daughter's liver was damaged, too. She quit drinking. A year later she had a baby. She is still AF (alcohol free) and all her hair came back in, her skin is clear and beautiful (a mom speaking here) and her eyes are bright and full of life.

She is beautiful and she is grateful to be sober.

Love,
Cindi

I hear ya all. Trust me. I KNOW all this but to implement it is a different story.

I wake up saying" this is the day", but wind up going to the store and buying beer. How can I stop doing this?

Yes, my sadness and emotional outbursts are directly related to my drinking. I have no doubts about that.

Maybe I need to start going to church.
