What a great post, yogie. Congratulations on your 8 days of sobriety. Those first few are challenging to say the least - but we never have to go back to that old life. I was 'older'
too when I finally had enough and came here to get some support and encouragement. This place made all the difference.
We're happy to have you here with us. I'm sure hearing your stories will be helpful to all of us. Onward to Day 9.
