i'd rather just drop the charges because if i admit to a blackout, then i would most likely be ordered all kinds of mandatory alcohol counseling or community service, be fined, who knows what. i am in touch with friends in AA and Al-Anon and with this board, and other friends who have gotten sober on their own. i hope to attend a meeting Sunday. I have to work tonight. Sunday is my only day off and I work at night.

i am being as cheerful as possible at work with my co-workers and they are very supportive. and i am being supportive with them with their problems as well. it's funny how when you begin to open up more with people, you are able to help one another on a deeper level.

thank you everyone!
