I got complacent after 20 yrs sober and started drinking 'a glass' of wine in the afternoon to calm down before the kids got home from high school. Within a matter of months, I was drinking all day, every day.

Now I have 8 yrs sober and have never forgotten where I came from and how innocently it started.

I don't do meetings, but I do come here every day and read and post. I also make it a habit to practice gratitude every day. Gratitude makes us focus on the positives. Practicing gratitude can make you happier.
