"Start where you are right?" Most certainly Anan!!!

I'm about where you are...day 3 . Have been slipping up for some time now. So I'm back on track with upping my commitment to stay beer free as I have remained dope free for the past 3+ years. Going to my duel-diagnosis (addiction) IOP group at the clinic this morning and returning to bi monthly counseling (more if needed).

It is what it is so I'm not going to get all trippy about it. I did throughout the backsliding stay in addiction treatment with my other duel IOP (PTSD) group and regularery attended some self-help meetings and keep close to SR. That really, really helped me to minimize the possible damage that could have happened if I abandoned all treatment. So my motto "stay in addiction treatment no matter what" saved me some potential living nightmare stuff.

Anywho...I'm in good spirits (alcohol free ones ) and looking forward to the day ahead with some hope, optimism and joy.
