Thank you, Rae. One-day-at-a-time - I thought that sounded so ridiculous at first. That's how I've reached 10 mos. though. The first days were so horrible and scary, and back then I was just trying not to die. The fog lifted at some point, and I realized I didn't want to miss out on life anymore. I'd just been going through the motions for so long. I haven't attended AA meetings on a regular basis, so SR is my meeting. When I was so nervous I thought I'd jump out of my skin, I came here and read - sometimes posted, always cried all over the keyboard.
Thanks for the wisdom, and fun too, that you've brought to SR.
