I hope you stick around SoberJuly
You're not a loser - I had many reasons for drinking again and I did frequently for many years.

The door's always open here.

I saw no judgement. I've asked the question myself here many times and, way back, had the question asked of me
I think it was valid too - and helpful, Scott.
Let's all move on...and focus back on the OP
