And probably began opening my personal door to considering stopping drinking- by removing a lot of my sense of guilt and of being a flawed person for turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism in the first place. <br /><br />How old is your son?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321547766936093369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370806816189738825.post-89460345723003885242013-12-16T06:19:52.899-08:002013-12-16T06:19:52.899-08:00Yeah, that semi-public commitment (no billboard on...Yeah, that semi-public commitment (no billboard on High Street, but there on the Web for anyone to see) and the sense of being part of a community that cares- that, as you say, is rooting for me- What great gifts these are!<br />PS: I couldn't find the written quiz, lol!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321547766936093369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370806816189738825.post-2367238675193205502013-12-16T02:48:16.647-08:002013-12-16T02:48:16.647-08:00Norman I am with you. well said.

I honestly visualize the Wolf as a real life bad guy, a proper adversary, & having seen him for what he is I steadfastly refuse to let him back into my life. I would fight that fucker all day and all night to achieve this. That, and the lovely comments posted by people such as yourself compel me to adopt a "never let the team down" mentality. If I started back on the drink I would be so ashamed that I fell short of all the encouragement offered by you & others, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror (Are you getting all this? There's a written test at the end ;-)<br />However you choose to do it, it's nice to know you've got people on the sidelines with their fingers & toes crossed for you, and THAT for me, is where the sober blogosphere works beautifully. 3 days to go to the big 50!!
