I have relapsed too many times before and after I found SR . This time round I am at 72 days into recovery .
One thing I have said to some people in and out of SR is don,t get smug with your sobriety . I say this because every time I went back out drinking was when I felt comfortable ,smug ,cocky even then BOOM I was away buying booze .
Each time I came back here I was welcomed with open arms but don't get me wrong , some of what I was told was harsh but truthful and meant with the best of intentions .
If I had been told to get lost I might be dead , insane or in jail today so I thank each and every one of you on SR whether 1 day or 40 years sober for your perseverance , courtesy and integrity .
