Hang in there, my friend. People talk about how hard it is to kick all kinds of substances but, truth be known, alcohol is as hard to put aside as any of them. Even harder than most. It's been a long time now, but I do know from personal experience, as well as counseling. Stay strong. RM

Still an alcoholic but down to 6-8 a day, it's a start anyway! Med's are much kinder to a person than alcohol, but it is a hard habit to break, and Hat's Off to you for doing so! Best Wishes-FFWay to go, my good friend, FF. I think that you have a tremendous amount of resolve. The most amazing thing is how you continually put aside the problems you have in your own life and come on here and encourage others. It is really inspirational. My best to you. RM
