Nicely said!

I shudder at the thought of ever trying to stop again. Mostly, I don't think I'd ever try to get sober again if I went back out. I'd probably ride it down and finish the job this time.

Thanks also for the reminder......what works for 3yrs (or weeks, or any time-frame, really), may not be enough for that 4th year - and so on. I've found the same to be true but we do tend to forget.
