Please post often. I can't wait to hear how this turns out. I will be thinking good thoughts for you.
Good luck. And welcome to SR.
Welcome Lostinthetrees,
I can certainly echo Firstymer on your achievements while drinking. What we all can do sober can be Mindboggling! If only we truly try.
Congrats on 25 days and keep accruing them. I look forward to seeing you celebrate more milestones.
