Jeff, have you told your parents you are quitting? Or is it a secret you are keeping? Just curious.

I'm glad you're back.
I have talked to them so little in the last 2 years its never come up. I am going to tell them though. I should have put my foot down on Saturday.

I know you still have issues with your parents, but this is way more important.

Saturday you drank. Coincidence?

I doubt it. Probably some foreshadowing going on.

I think accountability (through the log created by our posts for others to see) is important and helpful, and would not mine being used by others (in a constructive way) if I should slip, especially so after having been sober for close on two years.

From what I gather the "into oblivion for the next couple days"-part has not materialized. Not going to blast you and would say go on strong from where you left off.

Jeff,

I'm glad you are back and posting. You know what struck me in reading this thread?

You have A LOT of people who care about you. What an outpouring of concern and affection.

You clearly have touched many hearts here and have a lot to give. You are a lucky man. Life is such a precious, fragile gift. You deserve health, freedom, happiness: Your "real" life, not the dulling or poisoning of it in alcohol.

So glad you are back on the train. This is an awesome group. Let everyone here lift you up.

xo
