[digderidoo]

Personally i have had to sometimes take a step back in order to move forward. But when those moments occur i realise that i am taking a step backwards and now know what i have to do to move forwards.

For instance i have had some problems occur 3 or 4 weeks ago which really knocked my sobriety and my immediate thought was to have a drink. I have felt for a couple of weeks i have gone backwards but by working hard i now have the finances to deal with my troubles, by facing them head on instead of putting my head in the sand i know they will go away and by upping my AA meetings i have been speaking to other recovering alcoholics about it. I can now see i am moving forward again.

Hope i am making sense.
