except for the time lost, 8 days is as good as 8 years. Such a thing is a 'mark' on a timeline and the important thing is to establish the mark .. yes, the sooner the better, but once it is there, it is as valid 'here' as it would be 'there' on the line.

Good work. You have unchained yourself. You have freedom now. You have set a huge burden by the wayside, and can continue your journey.

Thank you everyone.. I know I can do it... I just wish I would have tried this hard years ago.. alcoholism can take so much from you and your family.. You would think after coming from an abusive alcoholic family that I wouldnt have gone there. I thought it gave me my personality and made me so much funnier.. the joke was on me..

Often, the only person who likes a drunk is another drunk.

Glad you have stepped off that boat. It wasn't going anywhere.

The bear that we all know and love here is so fantastic that nothing artificial (like alcohol) can make you better!

Uh, but keep the fur-breeze thing going. I mean you have been dancing in that bear suit for years now!!
