I didn’t drink in moderation this past weekend.  I drank all day and all night.  I just kind of threw in the towel.. so to speak. I came home on Tuesday July 5th.  I didn’t drink on the night I came home and felt pretty good.  No withdrawal symptoms. On Wednesday, July 6th, I decidedContinue reading “Do Over, Please 7-7-16”
