Thank you Veronica. I'm on day 77 of my sobriety journey. A regular at AA meetings which are helping me tremendously. I've been bingeing on your channel which I've just discovered this weekend. I'm blessed that none of my circle of friends are excessive drinkers like I was and along with my wife are very supportive of my recovery. I never hit rock bottom, no DUI's, no jail, no rehab but I felt stressed at work and as a secretive drinker I was contemplating drinking on the job. This thought was my wake up call to finally do something about my addiction after 45 years. I'm currently working on my emotional sobriety and balance and I'm finding your videos very inspirational and helpful. Question/ is your book available on amazon as an ebook? Thank you very much for what you've done for me so far.
