Thanks for the thread Guy....

What stood out for me is something Joi said..

Knowing that when I awaken from a bad dream that it's just that, and not a blackout.


I was a blackout drinker..even when I socially drank once or twice a year.....

I was a Christian wife and mother..active in the church...but one Halloween party

with friends I tried to take off my top and dirty dance with a friend's hubby..

Had to make some humble phone calls...black out drunk every time..

When I really was deep into my drinking career ....woke up way too many

times in strange places with weird people. Driving for hundreds of miles and

only knew this because of the speedometer reading...

I'm thankful angels drove my car and I did not get raped or beaten or killed.

Thankful for 14 months of contihous sobriety ..today if I act like an

a--, that is all it is.



Love,
