Back again....
7 months and 17 days....
Thanks guys, ya'll were there when I thought my ass was going to die. Ya'll held my hand through detox, and months of panic, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, maltrition issues.
....and here I am. Feel better than ever, because I had forgotten what feeling good was. I still have memory issues from time to time, and speech just fumbles a little but. Live is good..
Just a friendly update and thanks...

naive, I had to meet new friends and start new relationships, the old ones revolved around drinking and I knew it wouldn't work with my life in recovery. In AA, I met more people and and have truer friends than I ever dreamed of having. It spread out from there to my hobbies and career, seems like I start new friendships every week.

It's easy mind over matter.. The inital detox is what was hard. Maintaining is easy... (for me)
