glad it turned out ok, brendan. u're right those places, etc don't have a place in our sober life. as an alcoholic i can recall the feelings that i wanted to run from and "fixed" with alcohol. now that i've learned coping skills for painful feelings that has helped. for me a drink won't fix anything, only make it worse.
i'm sure your post will help someone at this forum. we can always learn from other ppl's experiences.
