I used to drink a lot to deal with adverse situations,now I face reality and just keep trying to put one foot in front of the other and remain strong mentally.
Facing reality. Not many folks do that these days. There cannot be enough said about what "facing reality" consists of. Kudos for stopping drinking. I have never touched a drop in my life. FAS runs in my family and I was warned at a very early age. I figured if I started, I would never stop.
I have seen so many people try to quit, but to little avail. Hence the phrase: "Falling off the wagon"
I feel for those who want to quit but can't.
