Beautifully said, Angela! I haven't had a drink for over 16 years. While I did go through a 12-step group to support that decision, it is still a choice. I haven't attended meetings in a while, but still feel no desire... no, wait, that's not true. I *do* desire to drink every so often: cold beer on a hot day, nice glass of wine with good food, coffee drinks when it's cold. But, I don't like how I feel *after* I drink. I definitely have more clarity.

Just wanted to let you know - I'm here! "Yay" for your decision! And Happy Birthday!
