First Christmas party hurdle...
Mike,
I just read your post - wow, it made soooooo much sense!!
I am just on day 3 of abstaining and my path is so grown over but I sure want to see that view!! Tonight being new years eve many will try and get me back in that trench, including my husband who will not understand my decision not to drink. He will say c'mon, it's new years eve, stop being antisocial, you are ruining the night etc, as he thinks I have no problem, or more to the point, would not want to admit I have a problem.
So I will think of that view and look forward to getting up clear headed tomorrow morning and going for my walk when others are dusty. And I also agree I do think something clicks and you just make a simple decision.
Lucky for me that click happened and I googled alcoholic and found this fantastic site where I recognised myslef in so many stories and knew I was not alone.
Thank you everyone,
Louie
