    I think it's absolutely wonderful... absolutely wonderful!

    Speaking as someone who has several alcoholics in her life... I wish that they could make choices other than alcohol. But, as someone who has worked as a drug and alcohol counselor... I understand why so often they don't.

    So... to you - I just say that your choice was awesome! And I loved... loved this story!

    That is HUGE! Something is changing inside you, and that's a good thing. I find that running does relieve stress. CONGRATS on making a good decision.

    (I am NOT an alcoholic, but last night several of the same "little" things were going on in my home and I DID pick up a drink! - Wish I would have worked out instead!)

    Good for you! I think of new habits like a bungee cord...they snap you back in a different direction than you used to take, a healthier decision FOR yourself.
