Alcoholic Retread Gives It Another Go

Hi everyone,
I'm new to recovery...."Again".I have about 6 weeks sober,and have much work ahead of me.I guess you would refer to me as an A.A. retread.I have been in,and out since 1992.There have been good strides in my recovery in the past,but I see where I ran a half-assed program,and wasn't really honest,and refused to look at the darker side of this disease.

Well now I'm ready!It's painful,as I've damaged most areas of my life,and those closest to me,and am trying my best to right those wrongs...."I have more baggage than Samsonite"I tend to isolate,and try to figure it out myself.My history proves that this doesn't work,so I am glad to have found S.R. It is hard for me to reach out,and pretty hard to get to meetings,due to a suspended license for DUI etc.etc.etc.This happened after a job layoff in 2008.I still haven't found another,and my unemployment is going to run out very soon.So the resulting stress is not good at all.
