As ashamed as I've always been to come and post here about my slips, I knew I had to do it if I really wanted a sober life. I agree that we have a great group here, and you all are my core support group. If I lost that, I would be in a very bad place very quickly. It's scary to imagine. And on a selfish note, I don't want any of you to disappear, because I need you. You help keep me sober.

No drinking for me today! I've got a few errands to run and a large stack of books to read. I'm grateful to be feeling good today and to not be hungover. Hope you all have a good one as well.
