// My will be done//

I’m a year in on my quest to hold myself accountable to living my life without the everyday crutch of alcohol, and to learn to use alcohol responsibly. I’ve accomplished the former and made tremendous strides on the latter. I’ve learned a lot about myself, some things I like and lots I don’t. The most important thing I’ve learned is that I whether I drink to excess or not is a choice, a decision I make each and every day. Which means I made the wrong, lazy, selfish and stupid choice for far too long.

I’m paying the penance for those choices every day now, in my relationships with my family and with the damage I’ve done to my body. I can’t change the past - but a clear mind and the courage to make the right choice may salvage my future. Wish me luck.
