Hugs for you both.

Congrats, Dean. On the 30 days *and* finding yet another good use for your blog. I hope to read next month that you've got another 30 days to your credit.

"Time flies when you're having fun."

And, when you can remember it. Tee hee...

Congratulations. It was hard work and those of us who have been there know it. Smiles and more smiles.

I can't, we can. "We all need somebody to lean on..." Song in my head.

great job, Dean. I've been thinking about you and Rosemary, and hoping things were going well. Looks like they are!

But you're still thinking 24/7 of drinking that bad shit, aren't you? Otherwise, we wouldn't be hearing about it every couple of day. Which means you're still hooked. Aren't you?

Don't be such a jerk, Arnold. Give credit where credit is due.

Dean we all really enjoy hearing about your sobriety and want you to continue sharing like you are. In doing that it may very well help someone out there that needs to get rid of a bad habit such as the alcohol or other addictions. You are letting others know that you are overcoming a bad habit and they can too!

As a matter of fact, somebody could need hearing this reminder that you have already helped and they are in need of support. That person or persons could live alone or feel nobody understands just how hard it is.

Thank you Dean, you are really setting a wonderful example of how people can overcome great difficulties in their lives.

Arnold: Nope, not thinking about it 24/7. I think about it less all the time, as it happens.

I have several reasons for mentioning it periodically though. Much of it having to do with readers who've sent me email and lots of supportive comments. And people who've told me in confidence that they're fighting the same demon.

Rantblogger salute!

I'm proud of you, Bubba. And, Rosemary, good on ya for being such a great support to him.

As quoth the Mama:

WooHoo!

Now if I could do with "(insert damn near any sylable)tos" what you have done with drink, I'd be a hell of a lot healthier too.
