Well, I did it. I picked up right before my 3 years anniversary, which would have been Feb 1 '08.
I became complacent. Quit going to meetings. Quit taking antidepressants which history has shown for me is a vital part of my well being. Got wrapped up in school and isolating and me me me stuff. Found out the old man was cheating, and bam. There was the fuel to add to the fire and I went and got drunk. All the other side dishes naturally followed, and here I am, lucky to have made it back.
So here I am. 12 days sober, grateful for my life, my home, and repairing not only my sobriety through help and trhe 12 steps, but starting the marriage all over again. Wow. i am just glad that I have a chance to have a sober Christmas. That i am not in jail, in the hospital or dead. All of these other things were definitely an option. Just glad to be back on the horse.

Welcome back, Joni. You're here, that's all that matters. Just keep coming back. All we have is this day. Since I'm west coast, and sleep in late to boot, I figure I'm way behind most everyone else here. Hang tough. Chris
