Yay! It's amazing how much self-love can heal. As a daughter of a father who suffered from Alcoholism and later lived a sober life, I am very careful about what could be a tipping point with alcohol. I may have a glass of red wine once a year if that! I learned back in college that as a child of an alcoholic I'm already high-risk. So, I have friends who practice sober living. They aren't all teetotalists but they are pretty darn close. I have one friend who is a recovering substance abuser (Adderall and Ritalin) but she's been clean for 11 years.
