Thanks Phinneas. That is what I needed to hear. Sure is good to hear from you jmhs002. 5 weeks sounds like heaven right now. Helps to know that there are others in the same @&#$%%% boat I'm in. Maybe if I keep the "one hour at a time" mantra going I can get 3 days. I have gotten as much as 6 or 7 days on occasion in the past couple of years, but those were on family vacations. The night we got back, I would drink each time. I think around 1992 I did manage around 9 months sober on my own, but that did not last without a program. I have located a beginner's meeting in my area for tomorrow night and plan to go. I'll pray for willingness tonight. Wish me luck.
