Thanks midnight blue, as well as your input on what worked the main thing i, as a newbie, gets from your post is HOPE
I don’t know if you remember how hopeless it can feel at the beginning. We can’t do it - surely it’s impossible!!
Every time I read something from people sober for years it adds to my armoury of thinking maybe, just maybe, I can do this. No - I can do it....actually I WILL do it
Congrats
