I probably shouldnt reply to your post since I am still in the firm grip of the demon that is alcohol (I am not drinking at the moment though). I know that I will be a much better husband, father, employee, etc if I can just never drink again. Ive had a couple of days here and there, and during those days I had the will and energy to attend to those tasks in and around the home that seem mundane, but actually build up in the back of your mind and become something much more than mundane. Alcohol can take so much away from you, your health, self esteem, self worth, productivity, etc. I want to get rid of it and find myself again. My back is against the wall. Im going to give it a try again (for the millionth time). If you are at a place where you feel safe from this dreaded demon, treasure it, and I salute you.
