The most important thing for today is: Don't relapse today, whatever happens or fails to happen. Just not today.

The next most important thing is to find and work a program of recovery and not try to get and stay sober on your own.

For me, that has been the AA program.

I was drunk every day for many years, had run through all my friends but a few drinking buddies, had a horrible marriage, and my job was slipping through my fingers like a handful of sand.

After 13 years of this drunken madness, I finally sought and received help.

That was September 22, 1988 and I haven't had a drink since.

I say that solely to encourage you, because if someone as alcoholic and beyond the pale as I can do it, I'm sure you can, too.

Let's both not relapse today and go to bed sober.

Then we can do so again tomorrow morning.

Wash, rinse and repeat.

Glad you're here.
