Absolutely!! I think it's wonderful that you've gone so long without drinking--my Mother was a recovering alcoholic over 20 years down before she passed a couple of years ago. It was difficult for her too, particularly as she had been raised during a time where 3 martini lunches were the norm, so I know she struggled, but in the end, her success made us so very proud of her, as she was of herself.

I'll be thinking encouraging thoughts for you, and hoping you catch lots of fish!
