I'll need all the strength I can muster. GG55, you've already made great strides toward recovery. Recognizing a problem and effecting the necessary change is huge. There are other drug free ways to help you. Meditation, self-hypnosis, binaural beats, isochronic tones. I respect your strength, GG55. It's not an easy road, for sure. My biggest piece of advice for you is to never, ever forget what lead you here. I still refer to myself as a drunk, even though I've not imbibed in 23 yrs., because that's how I keep it in the forefront of my mind :). Much love to you, friend.
