I need to work really hard on this philosophy, especially with my mum. I can see she is so finished with the evil booze and I want her to stop and feel as amazing as I do. And I want to convince her to stop. It is that simple but she has to come to the realisation herself. She is definitely dry-curious, we are all drinkers/alcoholics in our family. I need to bite my lip! She can see I have lost weight, and infinitely happier, and I'm coping with every aspect of my life better. I hope she works it out soon.

Prior to that I really thought it would be misery. Your story and others gave me the rule book on how you do it, that what I felt was normal and there was a great future if I just kept going. I don't think I would have made it with out the light you shined ahead.A Better Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901483153585997892noreply@blogger.com
