Thanks for the encouragement. I am still sober and feel a little better since I posted. My last thought was to start a Stephen Fry novel - at least for some good laughs.
I have been running 5 miles a day and I really do not want to have to deal with a hangover or not being able to run today or tomorrow. I also said some really insensitive things to my 10-year-old son last time I drank (but don't remember it). That is enough to keep me sober, at least for today. I have to admit that I am struggling without the daily checkup here at SR. I have been really busy getting my family, work and home back together. I am going to have to make time to visit SR daily, since I am using it as my program.
This is really hard. Dealing with issues that are not in my control is difficult. The best I can do is to stay in control with mine.
