First Description

I will update the “My deal…” section as my topics evolve – this is the first description I typed for this blog:

Well, it is an age old story… or is it?  I decided to stop drinking alcohol.  Was it an overnight decision?  No.  Should it have happened sooner?  Probably.  Could it have happened sooner?  Who knows?  That all sounds familiar, right?

So, what is different about this journey?  That’s easy, it’s mine.

I have been told I am an authentic person.  I have also been told that my threshold for humiliation is higher than anyone else’s.  Both are probably true.

My family.  My children. My career.  My political views.  My epicurean likes & dislikes.  My successes and even my failures.  I post about it all!  But, for some reason, I am not ready to share this journey as publically with my family and friends as I do everything else.  So, naturally, I decided to start a blog and share it with complete strangers who stumble upon it on the internet.

If you have found your way here, enjoy.  Feel free to comment, commiserate, or just lurk in the shadows.
