Well, I'm back. I made it 10 months then the autumn was too much for me. After a St. Patty's day where I drank too much then missed a baptism for a family member the next day, I felt like I was hitting a familiar low. I'm a little ashamed and wish I could say I was sober while absent, but that's not how it worked out. I was debating whether I should return to the boards, but I decided to out of honesty to myself and to others. I promised I'd only drink on Saturdays, then it turned to Fridays and Saturdays, then Sundays were added... a familiar story.
I thought I'd pop on in, say hello, I'm Mike, I'm back, and living life sober is a lot better than living it drunk. I hope all are well and on the road to recovery. Day 7 for me.
