All the things I was looking for with alcohol, I have found removing the alcohol. And it wasn't just the removing of the alcohol is I learned some things about me and I have new tools in place that fill the hole that alcohol had. It's like what I learned is the spackle that I put over the wall that I could fill that hole that I don't just have to keep pouring something, some liquid down it to fix the problem.
