Hey Honu. Please stop beating yourself up. You are a child of God and I believe he prefers that you leave off the ruff stuff..

I am new to this site but not to the world of recovery. I am completing week number 81 of sobriety after 40 years of alcohol use/abuse. When I finally decided that I had had enough, I was up to a handle of vodka a day on the weekend and and half a handle a night on week nights.

I made a choice to go this alone and have had good success - so far... I too and from the South, so I know what you mean about the keeping things close to the chest gig. Perhaps that is why I am doing this solo. You are only alone in this journey of sobriety if that is the route that you choose. I really enjoyed reading about your life. BTW. I have an uncle that we call The Penguin. Stay at it and buckle up for the ride. Peace and love. Daddio

Thanks, Daddio! That's what I used to call my Daddy! LOL!

Yep, that Southern thing will getcha. Congratulations on 81 weeks! That's awesome!

Reading these posts is so very helpful to me. I'm glad I found this avenue of support.

I have the ability to beat myself up better than anyone else can. However, I'm quite sick of it honestly. I am trying to be as supportive of myself, as I am for other people.

I hope the rest of the "ride" will be a new adventure!
