Back for Another Go....
I came on these boards in late 2012. After a couple of weeks, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and I let that and other excuses derail me. Still have had getting sober on my mind and now I have my 40th birthday approaching in a few days, and it occurred to me that I should take back the second half of my life now, and enter my 40s sober. So right now I am on Day 9. I don't like to think of myself as an alcoholic and I am also aware that can be a problem with recovery, so I'm struggling with that. But right now, I want to be a healthy, sober wife, mom, daughter, employee, etc. and am trying to focus on one day at a time.
Thanks for letting me join this class!
