Very good thread, Saphie. Lots of good advice. Taz and Chris...thanks.....you put in words what I needed to.
Saphie, early sobriety is tough. It's a choice to use. The longer you are thinking about making that choice a sober one....the longer you start to 'get' sobriety. And then, it gets easier.
You don't have to believe in God or AA...but you do have to believe in you.
