>>I have been fighting alcoholism hard and still haven't beaten it. Not asking for sympathy because I don't think I deserve much. Well, maybe I am. I know I am a good guy with lots of good things going for me, including two daughters who are way better than I deserve. I go to AA almost every day. I want to quit. Yet here I still am. It's mystifying.

Thanks, Denis. Yes, I was sober yesterday and will be sober today. I feel so close to finally beating it. That's part of the aggravation. I go two weeks or a month, then drink again.

Yes, the people at AA know I am having a hard time. Some people are able to stop sooner than others even when the desire is there. Some of the stories are much more harrowing than mine -- people who literally lost everything. That hasn't happened to me but it just might if I keep it up.
