The journey starts when you are completely free from alcohol.
Scott - do they still use mail?
I didn't quite mean it like that my story is a little different because i also had an eating disorder that i had to beat (which i have) i meant my journey overall i understand the journey to sobriety is when you stop completely however i have seen a few people on SR that have relapsed which does make me realise that every body's 'journey' is different, you don't do a years sober then relapse and say you have to start from the beginning... Everything you do is apart of the journey to recovery.
