I decided on march 16, 2014. Since then I had a couple of drinks once in early May.... Relapse doesn't have to be part of it, at all. Don't be complacent. My relapse taught me to ALWAYS be vigilant and work on recovery everyday. I had 13 months and I let my guard down and my AV "got me". I didn't do what was needed and I fell. All me, my choice.

I was able to get back on the wagon but that's the thing you never know, what the next time brings and it is a dangerous game to play.

Don't get me wrong. For YEARS I said I needed to quit, but once I made the desicion and became proactive (did the work) it was on.

Engage as much as you can. Live recovery, read, research and participate. It's a great life and you can make it what you want it to be.
