Goodbye Al

What has destroyed my life since I was a chid has currently brought me to my knees at the worst point in my life.  So, I just needed a space to put it out there that as of June 15, 2014, I quit consuming alcohol.  Thank you all for your support.

I don't need the "oh, good job!" or "so proud!" reminders from people, either.  I recognize that I was a high-functioning alcoholic, but I let it destroy my family in the worst way possible (not getting into details here).

I quit cold turkey.  I do not need to go to an AA group for this.  I am a strong person in control of myself, and so I will simply quit.  Yes, there are going to be cravings, but my will is stronger than those.

I am not posting this in a public forum, because of the aforementioned reasons.  But, it feels good to say to someone else other than my wife that I have quit drinking.

Thanks for reading.
