It took us years to get where we are. Lots of luck
awesome reminder for me. thanks!! if i stare to long, i get all buggered up. but when i say,"yup, i was quite a tornado. thank God im not that man any more" i get back to serenity.

working through the pain...what a concept! all i did when drinkin was try and go around it.kept ending up back in the same spot: gloom,dispair, and misery. then i started workingthrough it!1 wow!! how amazing!!
yeah...slow progress. pretty hard for an impatient perfectionist, but it really is th ebest way for me.
thanks again. i need to remember to not stare and keep movin forward.
