Hi Water,

I'm so glad you are in rehab, and getting all of the tools you will need to continue to be sober when you are back to work.

I do not have long term sobriety, but I am less than two weeks away from one year, which is the longest for me. This will sound silly, but I am so excited to post in the "One year and over," thread!

I have learned through repeated failures that moderation didn't work for me. The first few weeks, even first three months or so I was so focused on the idea of not drinking. I started to shift my mindset to recovery, and making me the best me. I have read several great recovery books, and I am working on mindfulness. The thought of drinking rarely pops into my head anymore, and when it does the whole "play the tape through," really does work.

You can do this.
