For the moment, I’m choosing to keep a low profile. But I’ll share my story with you as I kick the booze, with the hope that it might inspire or motivate you in some way.

I’m not someone who relies on alcohol; I can and do go for periods of time without it. I don’t feel a desperate “need” to drink. But I have chosen to drink, on a far-too regular basis, knowing that I’ll have a happy buzz and forget about my worldly woes. But it’s only a temporary getaway, of course, and any woes that I might have at the time look a lot worse the day after drinking.

From now on, I want to wake up, after a great night’s sleep, with a clear head and a smile, ready to make the most of this precious and fleeting life that I’ve been granted.

With love,

KTB
