I said 'straightforward' not 'easy.' The fact that I post here daily, that I'm staying with Belle and have moved on to the 180 Day Challenge and that I'm still looking for drinkable alcohol substitutes should be fairly indicative that I'm not finding it 'easy.' If I thought I could drink in moderation, have just one, or just one evening on the booze, I'd be knocking it back tonight, but I know I can't. I'm one of the lucky ones - I don't get cravings because I stopped before I became addicted but I didn't know that at the time.
I'm not complacent, but it is 'straightforward' - I don't drink.

ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
