This is a wonderful topic flutter! Can't wait for more responses. In the meantime, today is day 36 for me. And like tazman said, I was blessed with desperation. I am willing to go to any lengths to maintain my sobriety! I am doing step 7. I feel really wonderful about what I am doing and day after day my obsession to drink is lessening. I'm overcome with a willingness to be in touch with my higher power and give every part of me and my will over to my HP. Just for today
