    I’ll start off.

    Hello everyone, I’m Kvasir and I’m an alcoholic. I had a real tough couple of years. My fiance died and I hit the bottle hard to numb the grief and the pain of losing her. I drank more in these past two plus years than I ever have before.

    It was an everyday, all day type of madness that culminated in the second worst day of my life after her passing from a terrifying first encounter with delirium tremens hallucinations.

    From that moment on the desire to drink was forever taken (blessedly!) from me. I have just two weeks so far, but these two weeks are the greatest I’ve felt in years and each day keeps getting better as I go.

    I hope everyone who comes here finds a sanctuary that they can use to explore new tools and strategies to deliver them into the life truly want and need. Thank you all for joining this little digital nook. I hope you enjoy your time here ;)
