Should Have Introduced Myself

I have been "around" or reading this forum for years. I have had various periods of long sobriety or abstinence most recent being 20 months as of a couple of days ago, that I drank again. I am going to be ok, though. I just did it, now I have to keep moving forward once again. Balance is something I have difficulty with. I think in reflection, ThatI just wanted a break. (or rationalization) One thing I have on my side is that I know deeply that for me alcohol is a curse.

Since 1990, I have done so much better with this. I have had long periods of sobriety. These have been followed with bad binges. That is the only way I drink or can drink. The thing is that it is a miracle I have survived, though no one would suspect. I really have to commit to this for life. My "luck" may not hold out. I have learned at least I think that when we think of things as happening only to "them" that we need to remember that we are "them" also. I will continue to hang out with you here.

Hi, totfit; nice to meet you.

My commitment must be 'for life' (always and forever), too; there's no other way for me.
