On the plus side it's great to see Bean, Lu, and Bo again. Bean's being a vocal little bastard right now. Bean is so much like how I used to be it's not funny. We call him my son lol.

Hi MuddyBoots. I'm sorry to read that you are struggling with wanting to use. I know how hard that can be, as many in my family (including me) had some alcohol abuse issues. A suggestion that comes to my mind is to reach out for something pleasant that reminds you of a better time in your life. Not sure what that would be for you, but I gravitate to music from the 70s and 80s and classical music and baking.
