Fake it 'til you make it. Reminds me of the adage "Dress for success."

Not drinking, etc. is not really "faking it". It's actually doing it. Faking it would be getting hammered and then going to AA meetings accepting my 3 month coin.

I don't think this can be faked. The reason I haven't been on this board for a few days is because I was drinking and was sure you guys would read right through it, regardless of how I might have tried to fake it.

Thank you for your encouragement, Brat.
