Hi SoberLife

It's been several years for me. The last time was during a long period of ill health and worry when I wasn't sleeping.

The thought a drink might help flashed briefly across my mind one night in the wee hours.

I don't think having the thought is in itself any kind of failure and I didn't feel like my recovery was imperiled.

In the bright light of the next morning I dismissed it as the madness it was

I really believe the measure of our recovery lies in how we respond to those mad thoughts
