It's so good to see you, Livinginhope. 7 months sober is wonderful.
Congratulations on your engagement. You're right, we can't afford to slip back into our old ways. One drink led me to throw away 3 yrs. of sobriety. It took me years to get back on track. I completely agree that it gets so much worse as we age. Thank you for an insightful post - it will help many.
