Hello everyone:

I wrote not too long ago about wanting to take a drink and being scared about it, then the next day I wasn't feeling scared. Well, I should reiterate that I will always be scared about taking that next drink. It's something I don't want to do but there's always something flashing in the back of my mind telling me there would be NO HARM AND NO FOUL in taking one more drink.

I guess being an alcoholic and admitting to a problem is expressing that we're powerless to alcohol and we will always have cravings and desires to take "YET ANOTHER DRINK" even when the will to not drink overpowers the will to submit and drink. That's what's scary. I guess I'll always be scared in that sense.

My goal for this year is to keep from drinking. My goal for the first year of sobriety was to stop drinking and I proved to myself that one year is possible. After one year, I feel I need help to keep up the momentum and to stay away from anything alcoholic and to change my lifestyle. If I can last 2 years, I can last 5, if I can last 5, I can last 10, if I can last 10, I can live my life.

Happy and healthy life to everyone.

Congratulations on being almost 3 months into your second year of sobriety. I'm 4 hours into my first day (1/6 of the way into 24 hours!) so I admire you for what you've accomplished. I look forward to my first anniversary date. Keep up the great work.

I don't really have much to add, other than congrats on a year + of sobriety. It's a beautiful thing, being sober, and I wouldn't trade my sobriety for anything.

The other reason I'm posting is to say I like your avatar. I'm a D'jango admirer myself. Good taste!

Peace & Love,
