Hi Toronto Guy... was wondering where you've been. Sorry you're not feeling the greatest right now but glad to see you back none the less.

Hey TG, welcome back! I agree with those who say get back into AA now while you still feel like crap and don't let your disease have a chance to talk you out of it. Cunning, baffling and powerful it truly is. It's hard to argue with you right now when you feel like sh*t but once it passes then it will whisper that it wasn't THAT bad, you can still control it. Or at least it did for me.

My first AA meeting this time around I was sick, puking, shaking etc and sitting in a meeting full of strangers was the very last thing I wanted to do. I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die. But going and feeling accepted did make me feel better, if not physically at least emotionally which was crucial.

Regardless of what you decide to do, welcome back and thanks for sharing with us.

Hugs,
Kellye

I'm on day 15 so I can relate. Starting over and found this place. Today's my first day chatting on here so maybe I'll hear your story sometime. Best wishes!

LOL Stone remember the PM I sent you?

The secret to long term sobriety is change, you are changing my friend, as long as I work my program and working on changing myself from that old drunk I used to be to someone better, I have a chance.

I am not really sure who I am today, I know what I was 10 1/2 months ago and I know darn well I do not want to become that man again, I like the man I am now.

I remember Taz.

You are right, we gotta change if we want to stay sober. Remember I used to dig my heels in whenever you mentioned AA LOL?
