Tough day for my daughter

[carpoor]

I hope she has an epiphany and snaps out of whatever funk she is in.

I say that as a former heavy drinker/alcohol abuser. I caught a break once 4.5 years ago and changed my ways from that moment on. I literally went 550+ days without a drink immediately after that butt-puckering experience. Since then, I might have a drink 2-3 times per year. And when I do, it is one and done. This year, I can recall only drinking once. I had a drink on my birthday with dinner. I was out with friends and had one as a social thing, didn't really crave it or need to have it.

I wish her all the best, as I have seen the bottle get the best of myself and others close to me.
