Hi junes,

Great to hear that you are continuing to move along with your plans to resolve the problem. I was thinking the same thing about school myself and how it feels like a time to learn at this time if year. It kind of makes you wonder how much subtle programming has motivated drinking in the summer for the same reason...summers here, schools out, and it's time to party and forget....

You hit the nail right on the head when you mention about learning how to deal with the emotions. Not dealing with emotions and detaching ourselves from them through alcohol consumption was how we got into this problem. If we really look at the core reason for drinking, it's to separate ourselves from the emotions and gain a sense of control over them. 

Have you spent some time looking at how negative thinking might be effecting you? 

All the best,

Dave

Hi everyone 

    It has been a while since I have posted. I just wanted to see how everyones summer has gone and how they are doing . 

 Fall is my favorite seasons, for me it has always been a new beginning i believe because it was always back to school so for  me was a new year i suppose and have always felt that way even though i have been out of school for a while ...weird . It soon will be 3 months without any alcohol. I am feeling good most days. still struggle with my emotions and learning how to deal with everything as i dont know how. slowly but surely. 

  i hope everyone had a good summer and are doing well :)
