Hi all,
Just finished my first day sober. I've been on again, off again for many many years. I am too old to keep drinking and trying to walk straight while I walk my dog is embarrassing! I've been in AA since 1987. I've had many periods of long-term sobriety. The longest was 4 1/2 years. My denial keeps kicking in though. Also I get really depressed and drink to handle the pain. I just started therapy which is helping somewhat with addressing underlying issues.
Hope you guys all stay with me on our journey. I was in class of 2009 for a few months then everyone dropped by the wayside including me.
So it being cinco de mayo and all, the thought of a few sombreros crossed my mind. But I got two avocados and some tortilla chips and made guacamole instead!
