Thanks for your speedy response, sailorjohn! I'll have to join my alcoholism for push-ups sometime, but not outside in the parking lot during a meeting...
Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life; I just have to stay on His path and not return to my own vomit. Proverbs 26:11 says, "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." Been there, done that, as you say!
