I will take all the motivation I can get my friend. I am just greatful I did not implode my life, however close I got ( I tried ). Going to be paying for it for a while yet. I have been a friend of Bill before, just forgot some things I guess.
 
Congratulations, man. That's over two whole months!! (Not sarcasm, not downplaying!) Seriously, that's more than myself, not that I'm necessarily trying to ride the wagon, but have been actively trying to cut back. I'm finding that the longer I go without it, the less I really find myself very "thirsty"...and the couple of times I said "Fck it...I'm all in tonight!", I definitely regretted it for at least the next several....hours? Day, couple days?
Long enough to make me think twice and even take a good look at my own habits...

Again, congrats. Keep it up!

Thanks my freind, I am definitly not missing the next day stuff, which was everyday for me. One day at a time.
 
God, grant us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that You will make all things right, if I surrender to Your will.
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen

Reinhold Niebuhr (1926)

Thanks for that brother. I only knew the first part, did not ever hear the whole before. I will keep that close today.
