The Stars are Going OUT!

As readers of 'I Don't Drink' will already know, one of the things I used to help me quit and which I recommend is a daily star chart to monitor your progress and add a sense of achievement to each day. I have kept mine going for the past three years and stuck a star on every morning without fail.

Now it is year four for me, and for some reason I just don't feel the need to maintain the chart anymore. I will still keep the calendar going to record how often I swim etc. and other key achievements but I now 'So Don't Drink' I just don't need those stars. It might be because people have been writing to me and I have been debating with friends about the AA emphasis on your being an alcoholic for life. I certainly don't feel like an alcoholic, I know I will never drink again just like I know I will never smoke again (I gave that up some twenty years ago), I am simply not interested in alcohol and now I know how fantastic life is like without it, why on Earth would I want to go back to destroying my happiness? As the calendar suggests I am also an amateur astronomer, so the real stars will have to do instead from now on!
