and when I couldn't stand to face myself, it was the day I stopped. I was and still am not perfect...(i'm sober since April or early May 2011). but all the times i started to drink again, it was short-lived (as i hope yours is now), because I NEVER wanted to fall back down into that terrible pit i was in. You are human, you are learning, i think it's great that you have come back and are asking/admitting you need to connect with others and want to change your life.

no one fits perfectly into any space or group, but the common bond is the same...we all want a real life and to take an active stand in our sobriety. Drinking is like sitting in a hole, everyone runs you over and you can't get out.
