I personally don't believe in coincidences. Glad you are still sober!

You should be really proud of yourself for getting rid of that booze. Those are some of the toughest situations we face.

Excellent!

D***, Sam, I doubt I could ever have pulled outta that nose dive. To have the shot poured & all.

Good for you, I know your story will be close at hand the next time I am tested.

Classic example of God doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.

I have had similar experiences and it always is such a relief when you "dodge that bullet".

I'm glad you made it through and that you'll get to get your 1 month chip soon.

Keep up the good work one day at a time.

Hugs,
Kellye
