What I just read IMHO were some very powerful, inducing post.
This is the quintessential reason I remain an active member of S/R.
Dec. 10th, next Saturday will be one year of sobriety for me. Just
being out from under the ball and chain of addiction. The weight of
it all, gone. Having said that I'm still an addict and have to keep
the guard up. What I read tonight was an anniversary present.
Ecstasy from artificial means, or even success that can take you there
along with your peers. F/T great thoughts concerning what brings on the
alcohol and drug problems, and sustains them.
It's like your really never particularly out of the woodwork on this. Some days
I feel like I'm on a wagon pulled by 10 horses and I have 1 foot on the platform
waving at everyone and I fall off and get run over by the back wheels. Ouch-e ouch.
Hey there! Just in case I forget what day it is on the 10th, I wanted to say congratulations on the year anniversary!
That is more than awesome!

PS -- The image of you on the chariot, only to fall off and be run over by the back wheels, was hilarious! That's my day over and over again at times. The art is in knowing when not to walk out the front door in the morning. Thank you for that laugh this afternoon!
