nocoincidence56....what a wonderful post and how very very true.
frame31....i dont really like to comment on someones recovery or sobriety through a third party maybe she could post on here if she appears to have problems and would like support and advice.
What i would say and already has been very well put across is...
There is a very big diffence between being sober and being in recovery..imo
In my case...once the alcohol or lets say the "symptom" was removed i was left with a very sick person.
And i needed to do something other than stopping drinking to be a functional...happy...content person....and for me and only me.. i found that with AA......twelve step program....and god..then and only then i slowly truly recover.
Rather like.....if i get a puncture in my car...i can get the puncture patched.
But If i dont fully inflate the tire again im left with a very uncomfortable ride!!!
If i stop doing meetings..........stop knitting the steps in my life..........stop having conversation with the boss....which ive done for a short period..
I start to be a royal pain in the backside and very difficult to be around.
I wish you luck with your decision....and for the future.........trucker
