I understand what your saying. But for me the sobering up physical process was way easier than the physical pain brought on by copious amount of poison I was consuming. Of course the first week was terrible but after that I wasn't hungover anymore.
Yes, this community is AWESOME. Helping others is a major part of sobriety. We are passing along our experience, strength and hope to all that seek it. I'm just glad your back. It's a miracle. This disease does not give too many second chances. If you think it does, your fooling yourself.
