Dear Terry,
An ex-girlfriend of mine sent me this link, for good reason.
I was a very proud drinker myself. I just passed my 60 day mark with the help of celebrate recovery and AA.
The hangover you describe is all too familiar, I woke up in jail for the second time in a week And realized it was time to stop. You’re right, I feel much better about myself but I also have more energy.
Thank you for sharing, thank you for the continued inspiration, thank you for being strong enough to put your life out on a limb for the world to see. When we do that, NOBODY can rob you of what you have any further. I wish you many more days of happiness and good health.
Happy New Year!
