having tough moments-even at church where they have wine in the chalice (blood of christ)to drink after receiving the eucharist. I quickly pass by. It's hard when I have a great day of skiing then get off the mtn and not have a beer or glass of wine. I feel great when I wake up in the morning knowing I had full control of my faculties-yet in the moment, pretty hard to pass up. My mantra is the serenity prayer!!

We were not created for or with alcohol and what I found out was that I reconditioned myself with it. If my drinking didn't come with some mind and mood reaction I might never have started and then continued. Learning about the physiological effects was very good for me...While the parties were going on I was altering...I cannot alter back without AA for any length of time.
23 days is awesome! Keep it up, it only gets better.
my problem was, I never waited until after i was done skiing to drink. I always started at the lodge bar, then I hit the slopes.
Not good. Especially because I don't know how to ski, anyway. Combine the 2, and the result was sometimes funny, sometimes not. Let's just say I know the difference in the tastes of different species of tree bark.
