Thanks for your impurrfect. Its great you found a program that works for you. The steps were not for me. I quit taking opiates in Feb 2011. Not one slip since. I was on a maintenance drug up until May of this year. While on the maintenance drug i drank about four times in the 15 months with no problem. I have not drank since i have been off the maintenance drug. But i will probbably try to. Its just hard for me to say i have a disease when I dont have any physical proof.
