Heaja, welcome aboard the good ship hope!
i was with someone who didn't make it...
for the grace of God, i didn't go down with the ship...
sobriety and recovery is, and will be different for everyone...
one given, if one is a alcoholic, complete abstinence from it is number one...
the stage of it may stay the same till the day one dies, although,
it most often gets worse, and way worse as was for me...
another given, it doesnt get any better...
good wishes on your journey Heaja
