Hey Kanyon
Glad you made it!
I'm going to start a Slippers Anonymous meeting. I know it all too well.
I too would say "Don't beat yourself up, it's useless." I didn't truly understand the word "Powerless" until about the 6th relapse. Then it kinda sank in a little. So I made a decision to capitalize on the experience of over 100 men and women. (Hey, I'm an alcoholic, yes I will use you all I can...it's in my nature..)Today I've realized they were JUST like me. Their solution really works. It's only 164 pages long. It takes 2.5hrs. to read.
I haven't had to slip in 5 years, but I'm capable of it I know from experience. This time I'm not keeping myself sober. I'm not even struggling with drink. The problem has been removed. It does not exist for me.
Anyone can have it. It's promised.
