Wonderful thoughts, Providence. I agree that there is no "all or nothing." Maybe for some lucky folks but not you or I. It's a process, like most things. Your post was very inspirational, as I tend to forget about the big picture ("I still drink!") instead the improvements I HAVE made.

Thanks for the reality check! So good to hear it. (And now, my 3 yr old is begging me to give him a bath....)
