That's great, gypsy!!

Please listen carefully.  I know this is hard, I know, I really, really know BUT I would like to point out that if You can go One Week and a Half !! without drinking, well then, You can go the rest of Your Life.  This I know is true.  Just keep taking One Day At A Time, One Hour At A Time if You need to, but just keep counting.  You already have 10(?) days !! - that's BIG, that's a LOT.  If You can do 10 days You can do 11, and then 12.  I'm not suggesting that You will never want another drink but I am suggesting that You have already proven to YourSelf that You can go with out alcohol for TEN days!!   - that's 240 hours!! - thats 14,400 minutes!!  Just keep adding to Your minutes, Your hours and Your days.  You will be forever grateful.  This too, I know is true.

GoodLuck, Gypsy

Exactly right. Or I don't think I could do it. Def one of the hardest things I've done in my life. I'm only 23 but been drinking 14 yr hard
