but I'm scared I'm going to start drinking again
In all honestly, I think it's healthy to have a fear of drinking again. I know all the times that I tried to quit drinking for good and was all confident, saying that I'll never, ever drink again and I did. I had to look at alcohol as the enemy, after all, it only wants to destroy me, you and everyone else who is an alcoholic.

I'm happy to hear you have your Families support, that's extremely important. I take it you've talked to them about your being an alcoholic? Building a strong support system is vital to Recovery. Have you been to any AA Meetings? Yes, SR is a wonderful support system, but I think it's important to have the face to face support of others who can say they understand what you're feeling, what you've been through, what you're going through now and what you'll be going through in the future.

I hope you'll continue to come here, let us know how you're doing and remember, you are not alone!

God Bless,
Judy
