Hello fellow June people.

I'm jumping in a little late here, but I am on day four and doing well. History is in my first post here if anyone is interested, but I feel that this time I am going to do well.

April last year - stopped for first time ever - wild rollercoaster ride - especially first few weeks.

Six more stops / relapses with sober periods ranging from 77 days to 3 days.

I have always done it alone before - now I have the support of the lovely citizens of the " Independent Republic of SR " .

My AV is ever-present, but I can tell he is rattled by my decision to hook up with some buddies who are wise to his tricks.

I also know my triggers better ( I am sure there will me many more challenges ) but with your help, I'm going to avoid ever picking up that first drink and ask

"How is this possibly going to help make anything better ?"

June means the start of winter where I am, so log fires, hot tea and walks/runs in the rain are what I am looking forward to instead of rumbling along with a hangover.

Oh - and I have started to play the piano at night rather than glug wine. What an infinitely more pleasurable thing to do !

So - I'm in ! Look forward to hanging out !
